Callback interface for action modes. Supplied to View.startActionMode(Callback), a Callback configures and handles events raised by a user's interaction with an action mode.

An action mode's lifecycle is as follows:

  • Method Details

    • onCreateActionMode

      boolean onCreateActionMode(ActionMode mode, Menu menu)
      Called when action mode is first created. The menu supplied will be used to generate action buttons for the action mode.
      Parameters:
      mode - ActionMode being created
      menu - Menu used to populate action buttons
      Returns:
      true if the action mode should be created, false if entering this mode should be aborted.
    • onPrepareActionMode

      boolean onPrepareActionMode(ActionMode mode, Menu menu)
      Called to refresh an action mode's action menu whenever it is invalidated.
      Parameters:
      mode - ActionMode being prepared
      menu - Menu used to populate action buttons
      Returns:
      true if the menu or action mode was updated, false otherwise.
    • onActionItemClicked

      boolean onActionItemClicked(ActionMode mode, MenuItem item)
      Called to report a user click on an action button.
      Parameters:
      mode - The current ActionMode
      item - The item that was clicked
      Returns:
      true if this callback handled the event, false if the standard MenuItem invocation should continue.
    • onDestroyActionMode

      void onDestroyActionMode(ActionMode mode)
      Called when an action mode is about to be exited and destroyed.
      Parameters:
      mode - The current ActionMode being destroyed
    • onGetContentRect

      default void onGetContentRect(ActionMode mode, View view, Rect outRect)
      Extension of ActionMode.Callback to provide content rect information. This is required for ActionModes with dynamic positioning such as the ones with type ActionMode.TYPE_FLOATING to ensure the positioning doesn't obscure app content. Called when an ActionMode needs to be positioned on screen, potentially occluding view content. Note this may be called on a per-frame basis.
      Parameters:
      mode - The ActionMode that requires positioning.
      view - The View that originated the ActionMode, in whose coordinates the Rect should be provided.
      outRect - The Rect to be populated with the content position. Use this to specify where the content in your app lives within the given view. This will be used to avoid occluding the given content Rect with the created ActionMode.
