AttributeDescriptor

java.lang.Object

public abstract class AttributeDescriptor extends Object

{@link AttributeDescriptor} describes an XML attribute with its XML attribute name.

An attribute descriptor also knows which UI node should be instantiated to represent this particular attribute (e.g. text field, icon chooser, class selector, etc.) Some attributes may be hidden and have no user interface at all.

This is an abstract class. Derived classes must implement data description and return the correct UiAttributeNode-derived class.

Fields Summary
private String
mXmlLocalName
private ElementDescriptor
mParent
private final String
mNsUri
private boolean
mDeprecated
Constructors Summary
public AttributeDescriptor(String xmlLocalName, String nsUri)
Creates a new {@link AttributeDescriptor}
param
xmlLocalName The XML name of the attribute (case sensitive)
param
nsUri The URI of the attribute. Can be null if attribute has no namespace. See {@link SdkConstants#NS_RESOURCES} for a common value.
mXmlLocalName = xmlLocalName; mNsUri = nsUri;
Methods Summary
public abstract com.android.ide.eclipse.editors.uimodel.UiAttributeNode createUiNode(com.android.ide.eclipse.editors.uimodel.UiElementNode uiParent)
param
uiParent The {@link UiElementNode} parent of this UI attribute.
return
A new {@link UiAttributeNode} linked to this descriptor or null if this attribute has no user interface.
public org.eclipse.swt.graphics.Image getIcon()
Returns an optional icon for the attribute.
By default this tries to return an icon based on the XML name of the attribute. If this fails, it tries to return the default Android logo as defined in the plugin. If all fails, it returns null.
return
An icon for this element or null.
IconFactory factory = IconFactory.getInstance(); Image icon; icon = factory.getIcon(getXmlLocalName(), IconFactory.COLOR_RED, IconFactory.SHAPE_CIRCLE); return icon != null ? icon : AdtPlugin.getAndroidLogo();
public final java.lang.String getNamespaceUri()
return mNsUri;
public final ElementDescriptor getParent()
return mParent;
public final java.lang.String getXmlLocalName()
Returns the XML local name of the attribute (case sensitive)
return mXmlLocalName;
public boolean isDeprecated()
return mDeprecated;
public void setDeprecated(boolean isDeprecated)
mDeprecated = isDeprecated;
final void setParent(ElementDescriptor parent)
mParent = parent;
