Picture Class

Definition

A Picture records drawing calls (via the canvas returned by beginRecording) and can then play them back into Canvas (via Picture#draw(Canvas) or Canvas#drawPicture(Picture)).

public class Picture : Java.Lang.Object

Remarks

A Picture records drawing calls (via the canvas returned by beginRecording) and can then play them back into Canvas (via Picture#draw(Canvas) or Canvas#drawPicture(Picture)).For most content (e.g. text, lines, rectangles), drawing a sequence from a picture can be faster than the equivalent API calls, since the picture performs its playback without incurring any method-call overhead.

<p class="note"><strong>Note:</strong> Prior to API level 23 a picture cannot be replayed on a hardware accelerated canvas.</p>

Draw(Canvas)

Draw this picture on the canvas.

EndRecording()

Call endRecording when the picture is built.

Equals(Object)

Indicates whether some other object is "equal to" this one.

(Inherited from Object)
GetHashCode()

Returns a hash code value for the object.

(Inherited from Object)
JavaFinalize()

Called by the garbage collector on an object when garbage collection determines that there are no more references to the object.

(Inherited from Object)
Notify()

Wakes up a single thread that is waiting on this object's monitor.

(Inherited from Object)
NotifyAll()

Wakes up all threads that are waiting on this object's monitor.

(Inherited from Object)
RequiresHardwareAcceleration()
