Overview

This class is used by AppCompat to automatically "substitute" all usages of core Android widgets inflated from layout files by the AppCompat extensions of those widgets.

This class two main responsibilities: the first is to 'inject' our tinted views in place of the framework versions in layout inflation; the second is backport the android:theme functionality for any inflated widgets. This include theme inheritance from its parent.

In order to provide your own extensions, follow these steps:

  • Extend this class, or the relevant subclass if you're using the Material components library
  • Override one or more of the createXYZ methods
  • Add the viewInflaterClass attribute on your application theme. The value of the attribute should be the fully-qualified class name of your custom inflater class.

Constructors

public AppCompatViewInflater()

Methods

public final View createView(View parent, java.lang.String name, Context context, AttributeSet attrs, boolean inheritContext, boolean readAndroidTheme, boolean readAppTheme, boolean wrapContext)

Creates an AppCompat-compatible widget by automatically "substituting" all usages of core Android widgets with the AppCompat extensions of those widgets.

Most developers should not call this method directly. Instead, use the layout inflater provided by AppCompatActivity or call AppCompatDelegate.createView(View, String, Context, AttributeSet).

Parameters:

parent: the hierarchical parent of the view, if any
name: class name of the view, must be a simple class name like TextView for core Android widgets
context: context against which the view should be constructed, may be wrapped for theming purposes or fully replaced if inheritContext is true
attrs: attribute set to pass to the view constructor
inheritContext: true to construct the view against the parent view's context instead of context, or false to use context
readAndroidTheme: true to parse android:theme from attrs and wrap the view's construction context if necessary
readAppTheme: true to parse app:theme from attrs and wrap the view's construction context if necessary
wrapContext: true to wrap the view's construction context to provide additional resource system feature backports

Returns:

an AppCompat-compatible widget

protected AppCompatTextView createTextView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs)

protected AppCompatImageView createImageView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs)

protected AppCompatButton createButton(Context context, AttributeSet attrs)

protected AppCompatEditText createEditText(Context context, AttributeSet attrs)

protected AppCompatSpinner createSpinner(Context context, AttributeSet attrs)

protected AppCompatImageButton createImageButton(Context context, AttributeSet attrs)

protected AppCompatCheckBox createCheckBox(Context context, AttributeSet attrs)

protected AppCompatRadioButton createRadioButton(Context context, AttributeSet attrs)

protected AppCompatCheckedTextView createCheckedTextView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs)

protected AppCompatAutoCompleteTextView createAutoCompleteTextView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs)

protected AppCompatMultiAutoCompleteTextView createMultiAutoCompleteTextView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs)

protected AppCompatRatingBar createRatingBar(Context context, AttributeSet attrs)

protected AppCompatSeekBar createSeekBar(Context context, AttributeSet attrs)

protected AppCompatToggleButton createToggleButton(Context context, AttributeSet attrs)

protected View createView(Context context, java.lang.String name, AttributeSet attrs)
