package android.view;

import android.graphics.Rect;

Helper class to handle situations where you want a view to have a larger touch area than its actual view bounds. The view whose touch area is changed is called the delegate view. This class should be used by an ancestor of the delegate. To use a TouchDelegate, first create an instance that specifies the bounds that should be mapped to the delegate and the delegate view itself.

The ancestor should then forward all of its touch events received in its View.onTouchEvent(MotionEvent) to onTouchEvent(MotionEvent).

Constructor
Params:
  • bounds – Bounds in local coordinates of the containing view that should be mapped to the delegate view
  • delegateView – The view that should receive motion events
/** * Constructor * * @param bounds Bounds in local coordinates of the containing view that should be mapped to * the delegate view * @param delegateView The view that should receive motion events */

Will forward touch events to the delegate view if the event is within the bounds specified in the constructor.
Params:
  • event – The touch event to forward
Returns:True if the event was forwarded to the delegate, false otherwise.
