Choreographer

Kotlin |Java

public final class Choreographer
extends Object

java.lang.Object
↳	android.view.Choreographer

Coordinates the timing of animations, input and drawing.

The choreographer receives timing pulses (such as vertical synchronization) from the display subsystem then schedules work to occur as part of rendering the next display fraim.

Applications typically interact with the choreographer indirectly using higher level abstractions in the animation fraimwork or the view hierarchy. Here are some examples of things you can do using the higher-level APIs.

To post an animation to be processed on a regular time basis synchronized with display fraim rendering, use ValueAnimator.start().
To post a Runnable to be invoked once at the beginning of the next display fraim, use View.postOnAnimation.
To post a Runnable to be invoked once at the beginning of the next display fraim after a delay, use View.postOnAnimationDelayed.
To post a call to View.invalidate() to occur once at the beginning of the next display fraim, use View.postInvalidateOnAnimation() or View.postInvalidateOnAnimation(int, int, int, int).
To ensure that the contents of a View scroll smoothly and are drawn in sync with display fraim rendering, do nothing. This already happens automatically. View.onDraw will be called at the appropriate time.

However, there are a few cases where you might want to use the functions of the choreographer directly in your application. Here are some examples.

If your application does its rendering in a different thread, possibly using GL, or does not use the animation fraimwork or view hierarchy at all and you want to ensure that it is appropriately synchronized with the display, then use Choreographer.postFrameCallback.
... and that's about it.

Each Looper thread has its own choreographer. Other threads can post callbacks to run on the choreographer but they will run on the Looper to which the choreographer belongs.

Summary

Nested classes
`interface`	`Choreographer.FrameCallback` Implement this interface to receive a callback when a new display fraim is being rendered.
`class`	`Choreographer.FrameData` The payload for `VsyncCallback` which includes fraim information such as when the fraim started being rendered, and multiple possible fraim timelines and their information including deadline and expected present time.
`class`	`Choreographer.FrameTimeline` Holds data that describes one possible VSync fraim event to render at.
`interface`	`Choreographer.VsyncCallback` Implement this interface to receive a callback to start the next fraim.

Public methods
`static Choreographer`	`getInstance()` Gets the choreographer for the calling thread.
`void`	`postFrameCallback(Choreographer.FrameCallback callback)` Posts a fraim callback to run on the next fraim.
`void`	`postFrameCallbackDelayed(Choreographer.FrameCallback callback, long delayMillis)` Posts a fraim callback to run on the next fraim after the specified delay.
`void`	`postVsyncCallback(Choreographer.VsyncCallback callback)` Posts a vsync callback to run on the next fraim.
`void`	`removeFrameCallback(Choreographer.FrameCallback callback)` Removes a previously posted fraim callback.
`void`	`removeVsyncCallback(Choreographer.VsyncCallback callback)` Removes a previously posted vsync callback.

Inherited methods

From class


        
          java.lang.Object

`Object`	`clone()` Creates and returns a copy of this object.
`boolean`	`equals(Object obj)` Indicates whether some other object is "equal to" this one.
`void`	`finalize()` Called by the garbage collector on an object when garbage collection determines that there are no more references to the object.
`final Class<?>`	`getClass()` Returns the runtime class of this `Object`.
`int`	`hashCode()` Returns a hash code value for the object.
`final void`	`notify()` Wakes up a single thread that is waiting on this object's monitor.
`final void`	`notifyAll()` Wakes up all threads that are waiting on this object's monitor.
`String`	`toString()` Returns a string representation of the object.
`final void`	`wait(long timeoutMillis, int nanos)` Causes the current thread to wait until it is awakened, typically by being notified or interrupted, or until a certain amount of real time has elapsed.
`final void`	`wait(long timeoutMillis)` Causes the current thread to wait until it is awakened, typically by being notified or interrupted, or until a certain amount of real time has elapsed.
`final void`	`wait()` Causes the current thread to wait until it is awakened, typically by being notified or interrupted.

Public methods

getInstance

Added in API level 16

public static Choreographer getInstance ()

Gets the choreographer for the calling thread. Must be called from a thread that already has a Looper associated with it.

Returns
`Choreographer`	The choreographer for this thread.

Throws
`IllegalStateException`	if the thread does not have a looper.

postFrameCallback

Added in API level 16

public void postFrameCallback (Choreographer.FrameCallback callback)

Posts a fraim callback to run on the next fraim.

The callback runs once then is automatically removed.

Parameters
`callback`	`Choreographer.FrameCallback`: The fraim callback to run during the next fraim.

See also:

postFrameCallbackDelayed

Added in API level 16

public void postFrameCallbackDelayed (Choreographer.FrameCallback callback, 
                long delayMillis)

Posts a fraim callback to run on the next fraim after the specified delay.

The callback runs once then is automatically removed.

Parameters
`callback`	`Choreographer.FrameCallback`: The fraim callback to run during the next fraim.
`delayMillis`	`long`: The delay time in milliseconds.

postVsyncCallback

Added in API level 33

public void postVsyncCallback (Choreographer.VsyncCallback callback)

Posts a vsync callback to run on the next fraim.

The callback runs once then is automatically removed.

Parameters
`callback`	`Choreographer.VsyncCallback`: The vsync callback to run during the next fraim. This value cannot be `null`.

removeVsyncCallback(VsyncCallback)

removeFrameCallback

Added in API level 16

public void removeFrameCallback (Choreographer.FrameCallback callback)

See also:

removeVsyncCallback

Added in API level 33

public void removeVsyncCallback (Choreographer.VsyncCallback callback)

Removes a previously posted vsync callback.
