Interface BackingStoreManager


public interface BackingStoreManager
This interface must be implemented by the end user and is called in response to events like addition of rectangles into the RectanglePacker. It is used both when a full re-layout must be done as well as when the data in the backing store must be copied to a new one.
  • Method Summary

    Modifier and Type
    Method
    Description
    boolean
    additionFailed(Rect cause, int attemptNumber)
    Notification that addition of the given Rect failed because a maximum size was set in the RectanglePacker and the backing store could not be expanded, or because compaction (and, therefore, implicitly expansion) was not supported.
    allocateBackingStore(int w, int h)
     
    void
    beginMovement(Object oldBackingStore, Object newBackingStore)
    Notification that movement is starting.
    boolean
    Indication whether this BackingStoreManager supports compaction; in other words, the allocation of a new backing store and movement of the contents of the backing store from the old to the new one.
    void
    deleteBackingStore(Object backingStore)
     
    void
    endMovement(Object oldBackingStore, Object newBackingStore)
    Notification that movement is ending.
    void
    move(Object oldBackingStore, Rect oldLocation, Object newBackingStore, Rect newLocation)
    Tells the manager to move the contents of the given rect from the old location on the old backing store to the new location on the new backing store.
    boolean
    preExpand(Rect cause, int attemptNumber)
    Notification that expansion of the backing store is about to be done due to addition of the given rectangle.
  • Method Details

    • allocateBackingStore

      Object allocateBackingStore(int w, int h)
    • deleteBackingStore

      void deleteBackingStore(Object backingStore)
    • canCompact

      boolean canCompact()
      Indication whether this BackingStoreManager supports compaction; in other words, the allocation of a new backing store and movement of the contents of the backing store from the old to the new one. If it does not, then RectanglePacker.add() may throw an exception if additionFailed() can not make enough room available. If an implementation returns false, this also implies that the backing store can not grow, so that preExpand() will never be called.
    • preExpand

      boolean preExpand(Rect cause, int attemptNumber)
      Notification that expansion of the backing store is about to be done due to addition of the given rectangle. Gives the manager a chance to do some compaction and potentially remove old entries from the backing store, if it acts like a least-recently-used cache. This method receives as argument the number of attempts so far to add the given rectangle. Manager should return true if the RectanglePacker should retry the addition (which may result in this method being called again, with an increased attempt number) or false if the RectanglePacker should just expand the backing store. The caller should not call RectanglePacker.add() in its preExpand() method.
    • additionFailed

      boolean additionFailed(Rect cause, int attemptNumber)
      Notification that addition of the given Rect failed because a maximum size was set in the RectanglePacker and the backing store could not be expanded, or because compaction (and, therefore, implicitly expansion) was not supported. Should return false if the manager can do nothing more to handle the failed addition, which will cause a RuntimeException to be thrown from the RectanglePacker.
    • beginMovement

      void beginMovement(Object oldBackingStore, Object newBackingStore)
      Notification that movement is starting.
    • move

      void move(Object oldBackingStore, Rect oldLocation, Object newBackingStore, Rect newLocation)
      Tells the manager to move the contents of the given rect from the old location on the old backing store to the new location on the new backing store. The backing stores can be identical in the case of compacting the existing backing store instead of reallocating it.
    • endMovement

      void endMovement(Object oldBackingStore, Object newBackingStore)
      Notification that movement is ending.
