# Overview

Android
Android

DrawerLayout acts as a top-level container for window content that allows for interactive "drawer" views to be pulled out from one or both vertical edges of the window.

As per the Android Design guide, any drawers positioned to the left/start should always contain content for navigating around the application, whereas any drawers positioned to the right/end should always contain actions to take on the current content.

For design guidelines, see Google Design Guidelines: DrawerLayout (opens new window)

# Examples

# Simple DrawerLayout

The following code shows a simple drawer-layout usage.

var win = Ti.UI.createWindow();

var leftView = Ti.UI.createView({ backgroundColor:'red' });
var centerView = Ti.UI.createView({ backgroundColor:'yellow' });
var rightView = Ti.UI.createView({ backgroundColor:'orange' });

var drawer = Ti.UI.Android.createDrawerLayout({
    leftView: leftView,
    centerView: centerView,
    rightView: rightView
});
var btn = Ti.UI.createButton({ title: 'RIGHT' });

btn.addEventListener('click', function() {
    drawer.toggleRight();
});

centerView.add(btn);

win.addEventListener('open', function(){
    var activity = win.activity,
        actionBar = activity.actionBar;

    if (actionBar) {
        actionBar.displayHomeAsUp = true;
        actionBar.onHomeIconItemSelected = function() {
            drawer.toggleLeft();
        };
    }
});

win.add(drawer);
win.open();

# Alloy DrawerLayout example

The following code shows an Alloy version of the drawer-layout.

<Alloy>
    <Window class="container">
        <ActionBar platform="android" displayHomeAsUp="true" onHomeIconItemSelected="onClickDrawer" />
        <DrawerLayout id="drawer" platform="android">
            <LeftView>
                <View backgroundColor="#fff"></View>
            </LeftView>
            <CenterView>
                <View>
                    <Label text="Center view" />
                </View>
            </CenterView>
        </DrawerLayout>
    </Window>

# Properties

# accessibilityDisableLongPress CREATION ONLY

Availability
12.4.0
accessibilityDisableLongPress :Boolean

Boolean value to remove the long press notification for the device's accessibility service.

Will disable the "double tap and hold for long press" message when selecting an item.

Default: true

# accessibilityHidden

Availability
6.2.0
accessibilityHidden :Boolean

Whether the view should be "hidden" from (i.e., ignored by) the accessibility service.

On iOS this is a direct analog of the accessibilityElementsHidden property defined in the UIAccessibility Protocol.

On Android, setting accessibilityHidden calls the native View.setImportantForAccessibility method. The native method is only available in Android 4.1 (API level 16/Jelly Bean) and later; if this property is specified on earlier versions of Android, it is ignored.

Default: false

# accessibilityHint

Availability
6.2.0
accessibilityHint :String

Briefly describes what performing an action (such as a click) on the view will do.

On iOS this is a direct analog of the accessibilityHint property defined in the UIAccessibility Protocol. On Android, it is concatenated together with accessibilityLabel and accessibilityValue in the order: accessibilityLabel, accessibilityValue, accessibilityHint. The concatenated value is then passed as the argument to the native View.setContentDescription method.

Default: null

# accessibilityLabel

Availability
6.2.0
accessibilityLabel :String

A succint label identifying the view for the device's accessibility service.

On iOS this is a direct analog of the accessibilityLabel property defined in the UIAccessibility Protocol. On Android, it is concatenated together with accessibilityValue and accessibilityHint in the order: accessibilityLabel, accessibilityValue, accessibilityHint. The concatenated value is then passed as the argument to the native View.setContentDescription method. Defaults to Title or label of the control.

# accessibilityValue

Availability
6.2.0
accessibilityValue :String

A string describing the value (if any) of the view for the device's accessibility service.

On iOS this is a direct analog of the accessibilityValue property defined in the UIAccessibility Protocol. On Android, it is concatenated together with accessibilityLabel and accessibilityHint in the order: accessibilityLabel, accessibilityValue, accessibilityHint. The concatenated value is then passed as the argument to the native View.setContentDescription method. Defaults to State or value of the control.

# anchorPoint

Availability
7.5.0
anchorPoint :Point

Coordinate of the view about which to pivot an animation.

Used on iOS only. For Android, use anchorPoint.

Anchor point is specified as a fraction of the view's size. For example, {0, 0} is at the view's top-left corner, {0.5, 0.5} at its center and {1, 1} at its bottom-right corner.

See the "Using an anchorPoint" example in Titanium.UI.Animation for a demonstration. The default is center of this view.

# apiName READONLY

Availability
6.2.0
apiName :String

The name of the API that this proxy corresponds to.

The value of this property is the fully qualified name of the API. For example, Titanium.UI.Button returns Ti.UI.Button.

# backgroundColor

Availability
6.2.0
backgroundColor :String | Titanium.UI.Color

Background color of the view, as a color name or hex triplet.

For information about color values, see the "Colors" section of Titanium.UI. Defaults to Transparent.

# backgroundDisabledColor

Availability
6.2.0
backgroundDisabledColor :String

Disabled background color of the view, as a color name or hex triplet.

For information about color values, see the "Colors" section of Titanium.UI. Defaults to the normal background color of this view.

# backgroundDisabledImage

Availability
6.2.0
backgroundDisabledImage :String

Disabled background image for the view, specified as a local file path or URL.

If backgroundDisabledImage is undefined, and the normal background imagebackgroundImage is set, the normal image is used when this view is disabled.

# backgroundFocusedColor

Availability
6.2.0
backgroundFocusedColor :String

Focused background color of the view, as a color name or hex triplet.

For information about color values, see the "Colors" section of Titanium.UI.

For normal views, the focused color is only used if focusable is true. Defaults to the normal background color of this view.

# backgroundFocusedImage

Availability
6.2.0
backgroundFocusedImage :String

Focused background image for the view, specified as a local file path or URL.

For normal views, the focused background is only used if focusable is true. If backgroundFocusedImage is undefined, and the normal background image backgroundImage is set, the normal image is used when this view is focused.

# backgroundGradient

Availability
6.2.0
backgroundGradient :Gradient

A background gradient for the view.

A gradient can be defined as either linear or radial. A linear gradient varies continuously along a line between the startPoint and endPoint.

A radial gradient is interpolated between two circles, defined by startPoint and startRadius and endPoint and endRadius respectively.

The start points, end points and radius values can be defined in device units, in the view's coordinates, or as percentages of the view's size. Thus, if a view is 60 x 60, the center point of the view can be specified as:

{ x: 30, y: 30 }

Or:

{ x: '50%', y: '50%' }

When specifying multiple colors, you can specify an offset value for each color, defining how far into the gradient it takes effect. For example, the following color array specifies a gradient that goes from red to blue back to red:

colors: [ { color: 'red', offset: 0.0}, { color: 'blue', offset: 0.25 }, { color: 'red', offset: 1.0 } ]

Android's linear gradients ignores backfillStart and backfillEnd, treating them as if they are true. Android's radial gradients ignore the endPoint property. Defaults to no gradient.

# backgroundImage

Availability
6.2.0
backgroundImage :String

Background image for the view, specified as a local file path or URL.

Default behavior when backgroundImage is unspecified depends on the type of view and the platform. For generic views, no image is used. For most controls (buttons, textfields, and so on), platform-specific default images are used.

# backgroundRepeat

Availability
6.2.0
backgroundRepeat :Boolean

Determines whether to tile a background across a view.

Setting this to true makes the set backgroundImage repeat across the view as a series of tiles. The tiling begins in the upper-left corner, where the upper-left corner of the background image is rendered. The image is then tiled to fill the available space of the view.

Note that setting this to true may incur performance penalties for large views or background images, as the tiling must be redone whenever a view is resized.

On iOS, the following views do not currently support tiled backgrounds:

Default: false

# backgroundSelectedColor

Availability
6.2.0
backgroundSelectedColor :String | Titanium.UI.Color

Selected background color of the view, as a color name or hex triplet.

For information about color values, see the "Colors" section of Titanium.UI.

focusable must be true for normal views.

Defaults to background color of this view.

# backgroundSelectedImage

Availability
6.2.0
backgroundSelectedImage :String

Selected background image url for the view, specified as a local file path or URL.

For normal views, the selected background is only used if focusable is true.

If backgroundSelectedImage is undefined, and the normal background image backgroundImage is set the normal image is used when this view is selected.

# borderColor

Availability
6.2.0
borderColor :String | Titanium.UI.Color

Border color of the view, as a color name or hex triplet.

For information about color values, see the "Colors" section of Titanium.UI.

Defaults to the normal background color of this view (Android), black (iOS).

# borderRadius

Availability
6.2.0
borderRadius :Number | String | Array<Number> | Array<String>

Radius for the rounded corners of the view's border.

Each corner is rounded using an arc of a circle. Values for each corner can be specified. For example, '20px 20px' will set both left and right corners to 20px. Specifying '20px 20px 20px 20px' will set top-left, top-right, bottom-right and bottom-left corners in that order.

If you have issues with dark artifacts on Android you can try to disable Hardware acceleration by setting a backgroundColor with a small amount of transparency: backgroundColor:"rgba(255,255,255,254)".

Default: 0

# borderWidth

Availability
6.2.0
borderWidth :Number

Border width of the view.

If borderColor is set without borderWidth, this value will be changed to 1 of the unit declared as 'ti.ui.defaultunit' in tiapp.xml descriptor.

Default: 0

# bottom

Availability
6.2.0
bottom :Number | String

View's bottom position, in platform-specific units.

This position is relative to the view's parent. Exact interpretation depends on the parent view's layout property. Can be either a float value or a dimension string (for example, '50%' or '10px').

This is an input property for specifying where the view should be positioned, and does not represent the view's calculated position.

Defaults to undefined.

# bubbleParent

Availability
6.2.0
bubbleParent :Boolean

Indicates if the proxy will bubble an event to its parent.

Some proxies (most commonly views) have a relationship to other proxies, often established by the add() method. For example, for a button added to a window, a click event on the button would bubble up to the window. Other common parents are table sections to their rows, table views to their sections, and scrollable views to their views. Set this property to false to disable the bubbling to the proxy's parent.

Default: true

# center

Availability
6.2.0
center :Point

View's center position, in the parent view's coordinates.

This is an input property for specifying where the view should be positioned, and does not represent the view's calculated position.

Defaults to undefined.

# centerView

Availability
6.2.0
centerView :Titanium.UI.View

Get or set the center view

# children READONLY

Availability
6.2.0
children :Array<Titanium.UI.View>

Array of this view's child views.

# drawerIndicatorEnabled

Availability
6.2.0
drawerIndicatorEnabled :Boolean

Determine the drawer indicator status

Default: true

# elevation

Availability
6.2.0
elevation :Number

Base elevation of the view relative to its parent in pixels.

The elevation of a view determines the appearance of its shadow. Higher elevations produce larger and softer shadows.

Note: The elevation property only works on Titanium.UI.View objects. Many Android components have a default elevation that cannot be modified. For more information, see Google design guidelines: Elevation and shadows.

# filterTouchesWhenObscured

Availability
9.3.0
filterTouchesWhenObscured :Boolean

Discards touch related events if another app's system overlay covers the view.

This is a security feature to protect an app from "tapjacking", where a malicious app can use a system overlay to intercept touch events in your app or to trick the end-user to tap on UI in your app intended for the overlay.

Setting this property to true causes touch related events (including "click") to not be fired if a system overlay overlaps the view.

Default: false

# focusable

Availability
6.2.0
focusable :Boolean

Whether view should be focusable while navigating with the trackball.

Default: false

# height

Availability
6.2.0
height :Number | String

View height, in platform-specific units.

Defaults to: If undefined, defaults to either FILL or SIZE depending on the view. See "View Types and Default Layout Behavior" in Transitioning to the New UI Layout System.

Can be either a float value or a dimension string (for example, '50%' or '40dp'). Can also be one of the following special values:

  • SIZE. The view should size itself to fit its contents.
  • FILL. The view should size itself to fill its parent.
  • 'auto'. Represents the default sizing behavior for a given type of view. The use of 'auto' is deprecated, and should be replaced with the SIZE or FILL constants if it is necessary to set the view's behavior explicitly.

This is an input property for specifying the view's height dimension. To determine the view's size once rendered, use the rect or size properties.

This API can be assigned the following constants:

# hiddenBehavior

Availability
6.2.0
hiddenBehavior :Number

Sets the behavior when hiding an object to release or keep the free space

If setting hiddenBehavior to HIDDEN_BEHAVIOR_GONE it will automatically release the space the view occupied. For example: in a vertical layout the views below the object will move up when you hide an object with hiddenBehavior:Titanium.UI.HIDDEN_BEHAVIOR_GONE.

Defaults to Titanium.UI.HIDDEN_BEHAVIOR_INVISIBLE.

This API can be assigned the following constants:

# horizontalWrap

Availability
6.2.0
horizontalWrap :Boolean

Determines whether the layout has wrapping behavior.

For more information, see the discussion of horizontal layout mode in the description of the layout property.

Default: true

# id

Availability
6.2.0
id :String

View's identifier.

Default: false

# keepScreenOn

Availability
6.2.0
keepScreenOn :Boolean

Determines whether to keep the device screen on.

When true the screen will not power down. Note: enabling this feature will use more power, thereby adversely affecting run time when on battery. For iOS look at idleTimerDisabled.

Default: false

# layout

Availability
6.2.0
layout :String

Specifies how the view positions its children. One of: 'composite', 'vertical', or 'horizontal'.

There are three layout options:

  • composite (or absolute). Default layout. A child view is positioned based on its positioning properties or "pins" (top, bottom, left, right and center). If no positioning properties are specified, the child is centered.

    The child is always sized based on its width and height properties, if these are specified. If the child's height or width is not specified explicitly, it may be calculated implicitly from the positioning properties. For example, if both left and center.x are specified, they can be used to calculate the width of the child control.

    Because the size and position properties can conflict, there is a specific precedence order for the layout properties. For vertical positioning, the precedence order is: height, top, center.y, bottom.

    The following table summarizes the various combinations of properties that can be used for vertical positioning, in order from highest precedence to lowest. (For example, if height, center.y and bottom are all specified, the height and center.y values take precedence.)

    Scenario Behavior
    height & top specified Child positioned top unit from parent's top, using specified height; any center.y and bottom values are ignored.
    height & center.y specified Child positioned with center at center.y, using specified height; any bottom value is ignored.
    height & bottom specified Child positioned bottom units from parent's bottom, using specified height.
    top & center.y specified Child positioned with top edge top units from parent's top and center at center.y. Height is determined implicitly; any bottom value is ignored.
    top & bottom specified Child positioned with top edge top units from parent's top and bottom edge bottom units from parent's bottom. Height is determined implicitly.
    Only top specified Child positioned top units from parent's top, and uses the default height calculation for the view type.
    center.y and bottom specified Child positioned with center at center.y and bottom edge bottom units from parent's bottom. Height is determined implicitly.
    Only center.y specified Child positioned with center at center.y, and uses the default height calculation for the view type.
    Only bottom specified Child positioned with bottom edge bottom units from parent's bottom, and uses the default height calculation for the view type.
    height, top, center.y, and bottom unspecified Child entered vertically in the parent and uses the default height calculation for the child view type.

    Horizontal positioning works like vertical positioning, except that the precedence is width, left, center.x, right.

    For complete details on composite layout rules, see Transitioning to the New UI Layout System in the Titanium Mobile Guides.

  • vertical. Children are laid out vertically from top to bottom. The first child is laid out top units from its parent's bounding box. Each subsequent child is laid out below the previous child. The space between children is equal to the upper child's bottom value plus the lower child's top value.

    Each child is positioned horizontally as in the composite layout mode.

  • horizontal. Horizontal layouts have different behavior depending on whether wrapping is enabled. Wrapping is enabled by default (the horizontalWrap property is true).

    With wrapping behavior, the children are laid out horizontally from left to right, in rows. If a child requires more horizontal space than exists in the current row, it is wrapped to a new row. The height of each row is equal to the maximum height of the children in that row.

    Wrapping behavior is available on iOS and Android. When the horizontalWrap property is set to true, the first row is placed at the top of the parent view, and successive rows are placed below the first row. Each child is positioned vertically within its row somewhat like composite layout mode. In particular:

    • If neither top or bottom is specified, the child is centered in the row.
    • If either top or bottom is specified, the child is aligned to either the top or bottom of the row, with the specified amount of padding.
    • If both top and bottom is specified for a given child, the properties are both treated as padding.

    If the horizontalWrap property is false, the behavior is more equivalent to a vertical layout. Children are laid or horizontally from left to right in a single row. The left and right properties are used as padding between the children, and the top and bottom properties are used to position the children vertically.

    Defaults to Composite layout.

# left

Availability
6.2.0
left :Number | String

View's left position, in platform-specific units.

This position is relative to the view's parent. Exact interpretation depends on the parent view's layout property. Can be either a float value or a dimension string (for example, '50%' or '10px').

This is an input property for specifying where the view should be positioned, and does not represent the view's calculated position.

Defaults to undefined.

On Android it will also return rect.absoluteX and 'rect.absoluteY' which are relative to the main window.

The correct values will only be available when layout is complete. To determine when layout is complete, add a listener for the postlayout event.

right :Number | String

View's right position, in platform-specific units.

This position is relative to the view's parent. Exact interpretation depends on the parent view's layout property. Can be either a float value or a dimension string (for example, '50%' or '10px').

This API can be assigned the following constants:

# zIndex

Availability
6.2.0
zIndex :Number

Z-index stack order position, relative to other sibling views.

A view does not have a default z-index value, meaning that it is undefined by default. When this property is explicitly set, regardless of its value, it causes the view to be positioned in front of any sibling that has an undefined z-index.

Defaults to undefined.

# Methods

# add

Availability
6.2.0
add(view) → void

Adds a child to this view's hierarchy.

The child view is added as the last child in this view's hierarchy.

Although all views inherit from Titanium.UI.View, not all views are capable of containing other views. In particular:

  • Some views are not designed to be containers at all.
  • Some views are special-purpose containers that can only contain certain other views.
  • Some views are top-level containers that cannot (or should not) be added to other views.

# Non-Container Views

The following views are not intended to act as containers that can hold other views:

Adding children to the these views may be supported on some platforms, but is not guaranteed to work across platforms. Where it is supported, it may not work as expected.

For maximum portability, these views should be treated as if they do not support children. Instead of adding children to these views, applications can positon other views as siblings. For example, instead of adding a button as a child of a WebView, you can add the button to the web view's parent such that it appears on top of the web view.

# Special-Purpose Containers

A few view objects act as special-purpose containers--that is, they only manage certain types of children, and many of them support a special means of adding these children, instead of the general add method. These containers include:

  • Titanium.UI.ButtonBar and Titanium.UI.iOS.TabbedBar are designed to hold their own internally-created buttons, assigned by adding strings to the "labels" array. Views added using the add method are displayed on top of these buttons.

  • Titanium.UI.Picker. Can only hold PickerRows and PickerColumns, which are added using the add method. Adding other types of views to a Picker is not supported.

  • Titanium.UI.TableView is a specialized container for TableViewSection and TableViewRow objects. These objects must be added using the properties and methods that TableView provides for adding and removing sectons and rows.

    On some platforms, it is possible to add arbitrary child views to a table view using the add method. However, this is not guaranteed to work on all platforms, and in general, should be avoided.

  • Titanium.UI.TableViewSection is a specialized container for TableViewRow objects, which are added using the add method. The add method on TableViewSection can only be used to add TableViewRow objects.

  • Titanium.UI.iOS.Toolbar is designed to hold buttons and certain other controls, added to its items array. Views added using the add method are displayed on top of the controls in the items array.

  • The Tab, TabGroup, NavigationWindow and SplitWindow objects are special containers that manage windows. These are discussed in the "Top-Level Containers" section.

# Top-Level Containers

There are certain top-level containers that are not intended to be added as the children of other views. These top-level containers include Titanium.UI.Window, Titanium.UI.iOS.SplitWindow, Titanium.UI.NavigationWindow, and Titanium.UI.TabGroup. Other types of views must be added to a top-level container in order to be displayed on screen.

The special containers Titanium.UI.NavigationWindow, Titanium.UI.iOS.SplitWindow, Titanium.UI.Tab, and Titanium.UI.TabGroup manage windows. These managed windows may be referred to as children of the container, but they are not added using the add method.

Tab is another kind of special container: it is not itself a top-level container, but can only be used within a TabGroup. You cannot add a Tab to an arbitrary container.

Parameters

Name Type Description
view Titanium.UI.View | Array<Titanium.UI.View>

# addEventListener

Availability
6.2.0
addEventListener(name, callback) → void

# animate

Availability
6.2.0
animate(animation[, callback]) → void

Animates this view.

The Titanium.UI.Animation object or dictionary passed to this method defines the end state for the animation, the duration of the animation, and other properties.

Note that on SDKs older than 9.1.0 - if you use animate to move a view, the view's actual position is changed, but its layout properties, such as top, left, center and so on are not changed--these reflect the original values set by the user, not the actual position of the view.

As of SDK 9.1.0, the final values of the animation will be set on the view just before the complete event and/or the callback is fired.

The rect property can be used to determine the actual size and position of the view.

Parameters

Name Type Description
animation Titanium.UI.Animation | Dictionary<Titanium.UI.Animation>

Either a dictionary of animation properties or an Titanium.UI.Animation object.

callback Callback<Object>

Function to be invoked upon completion of the animation.

# Events

# click

Availability
6.2.0

Fired when the device detects a click against the view.

There is a subtle difference between singletap and click events.

A singletap event is generated when the user taps the screen briefly without moving their finger. This gesture will also generate a click event.

However, a click event can also be generated when the user touches, moves their finger, and then removes it from the screen.

On Android, a click event can also be generated by a trackball click.
