Scroller

Kotlin |Java

public class Scroller
extends Object

java.lang.Object
↳	android.widget.Scroller

This class encapsulates scrolling. You can use scrollers (Scroller or OverScroller) to collect the data you need to produce a scrolling animation—for example, in response to a fling gesture. Scrollers track scroll offsets for you over time, but they don't automatically apply those positions to your view. It's your responsibility to get and apply new coordinates at a rate that will make the scrolling animation look smooth.

Here is a simple example:

 private Scroller mScroller = new Scroller(context);
 ...
 public void zoomIn() {
     // Revert any animation currently in progress
     mScroller.forceFinished(true);
     // Start scrolling by providing a starting point and
     // the distance to travel
     mScroller.startScroll(0, 0, 100, 0);
     // Invalidate to request a redraw
     invalidate();
 }

To track the changing positions of the x/y coordinates, use computeScrollOffset(). The method returns a boolean to indicate whether the scroller is finished. If it isn't, it means that a fling or programmatic pan operation is still in progress. You can use this method to find the current offsets of the x and y coordinates, for example:

if (mScroller.computeScrollOffset()) {
     // Get current x and y positions
     int currX = mScroller.getCurrX();
     int currY = mScroller.getCurrY();
    ...
 }

Parameters
`context`	`Context`
`interpolator`	`Interpolator`

Public methods

abortAnimation

Added in API level 1

See also:

forceFinished(boolean)

computeScrollOffset

Call this when you want to know the new location. If it returns true, the animation is not yet finished.

public void extendDuration (int extend)

Extend the scroll animation. This allows a running animation to scroll further and longer, when used with setFinalX(int) or setFinalY(int).
