ViewTreeObserver

class ViewTreeObserver
kotlin.Any
   ↳ android.view.ViewTreeObserver

A view tree observer is used to register listeners that can be notified of global changes in the view tree. Such global events include, but are not limited to, layout of the whole tree, beginning of the drawing pass, touch mode change.... A ViewTreeObserver should never be instantiated by applications as it is provided by the views hierarchy. Refer to android.view.View#getViewTreeObserver() for more information.

dispatchOnDraw

Added in API level 16
fun dispatchOnDraw(): Unit

Notifies registered listeners that the drawing pass is about to start.

dispatchOnGlobalLayout

Added in API level 1
fun dispatchOnGlobalLayout(): Unit

dispatchOnPreDraw

Added in API level 1
fun dispatchOnPreDraw(): Boolean

Notifies registered listeners that the drawing pass is about to start. If a listener returns true, then the drawing pass is canceled and rescheduled. This can be called manually if you are forcing the drawing on a View or a hierarchy of Views that are not attached to a Window or in the GONE state.

Return
Boolean True if this object is alive and be used, false otherwise.

This callback is useful in combination with PixelCopy to capture the current rendered content of the UI reliably. Note: Only works with hardware rendering. Does nothing otherwise.

Parameters
callback Runnable: The callback to invoke when the frame is committed. This value cannot be null.
