Deflating the LayoutInflater Saket • Uncommon
Parts 1. What and how 2. Applications
Part 1, What is LayoutInflater
Converts View hierarchies written in XML into Java objects XML
<TextView android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height=“wrap_content" /> Java public class TextView extends View { ... }
Common Usages
Fragments @Override public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater, ViewGroup, Bundle) { return inflater.inflate(
R.layout.fragment_layout, container, false ); }
ViewHolders @Override public ViewHolder onCreateViewHolder(ViewGroup, int) { return new ViewHolder(inflater.inflate(
R.layout.fragment_layout, container, false )); }
Activities @Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedState) { super.onCreate(savedState); setContentView(R.layout.activity_main); }
PhoneWindow.java (or AppCompatDelegateImplV7.java) @Override public void setContentView(int layoutRes) { mLayoutInflater.inflate(layoutRes,
mParent); }
How it works
LayoutInflater#inflate() A. XmlPullParser B. AttributeSet C. Creating View objects
LayoutInflater#inflate() A. XmlPullParser GSON, Moshi for JSON is the same
as XmlPullParser for XML
LayoutInflater#inflate() B. AttributeSet <ImageView android:layout_width="100dp" android:layout_height="100dp" android:src="@drawable/ic_done" android:contentDescription="Save" />
LayoutInflater#inflate() B. AttributeSet <ImageView android:layout_width="100dp" android:layout_height="100dp" android:src="@drawable/ic_done" android:contentDescription="Save" />
LayoutInflater#inflate() B. AttributeSet <ImageView android:layout_width="100dp" android:layout_height="100dp" android:src="@drawable/ic_done" android:contentDescription="Save" />
LayoutInflater#inflate() B. AttributeSet <ImageView android:layout_width="100dp" android:layout_height="100dp" android:src="@drawable/ic_done" android:contentDescription="Save" />
LayoutInflater#inflate() B. AttributeSet <ImageView android:layout_width="100dp" android:layout_height="100dp" android:src="@drawable/ic_done" android:contentDescription="Save" />
LayoutInflater#inflate() B. AttributeSet <ImageView android:layout_width="100dp" android:layout_height="100dp" android:src="@drawable/ic_done" android:contentDescription="Save" />
LayoutInflater#inflate() B. AttributeSet <ImageView android:layout_width="@dimen/list_icon" android:layout_height="@dimen/list_icon" android:src="@drawable/ic_done" android:contentDescription="Save" /> res/values/dimens.xml
LayoutInflater#inflate() B. AttributeSet Figures precedence of attributes <ImageView style="@style/Button.Save" android:layout_width="100dp"
android:layout_height="100dp" android:src=“@drawable/ic_done" />
LayoutInflater#inflate() B. AttributeSet Figures precedence of attributes <ImageView style="@style/Button.Save" android:layout_width="100dp"
android:layout_height="100dp" android:src=“@drawable/ic_done" />
LayoutInflater#inflate() B. AttributeSet Figures precedence of attributes <style name="Button.Save"> <item
name="android:layout_width">200dp</item> <item name="android:layout_height">200dp</item> </style>
LayoutInflater#inflate() B. AttributeSet Figures precedence of attributes <ImageView style="@style/Button.Save" android:layout_width="100dp"
android:layout_height="100dp" android:src=“@drawable/ic_done" />

LayoutInflater Factories
Installing a Factory @Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedState) { getLayoutInflater().setFactory2(...);
super.onCreate(savedState); }
Common Factories a) Activity public class Activity extends ContextThemeWrapper implements
LayoutInflater.Factory2 { }
Common Factories a) Activity
Common Factories a) Activity <LinearLayout> <fragment android:name="is.uncommon.ShinyFragment" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" />
</LinearLayout>
Common Factories a) Activity <LinearLayout> <fragment android:name="is.uncommon.ShinyFragment" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" />
</LinearLayout>
Common Factories b) AppCompat Continued in Part 2.
Part 2, Hooking into LayoutInflater
example, AppCompat How it back-ports material design to pre-Lollipop devices
android:theme
AppCompat Kitkat
AppCompat Kitkat
AppCompat <Button android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:background="@drawable/custom_btn" /> custom_btn.xml <selector> @drawable/custom_btn_normal @drawable/custom_btn_focussed
@drawable/custom_btn_pressed </selector>
AppCompat <Button android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:theme="@style/CustomButtonTheme" /> styles.xml <style name="CustomButtonTheme"> <item
name=“colorButtonNormal”>#09F</item> <item name=“colorControlHighlight">#07F</item> </style>
example, AppCompat AppCompatActivity @Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedState) { installViewFactory();
... }
example, AppCompat AppCompatViewInflater.java implements LayoutInflater.Factory2 { ... }
example, AppCompat AppCompatViewInflater.java public View onCreateView(String viewName, ...) { if
("TextView".equals(viewName) { return new AppCompatTextView(); } ... }
example, AppCompat
example, Calligraphy How it applies custom fonts without using any
custom Views. <TextView android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" fontPath="fonts/Roboto-Bold.ttf" />
example, Calligraphy class CalligraphyLayoutInflater extends LayoutInflater { ... }
example, Calligraphy @Override View onCreateView(String name, AttributeSet) { View view
= super.onCreateView(...); if (view instanceOf TextView) { applyTypeface((TextView) view); } return view; }
example, Calligraphy @Override View onCreateView(String name, AttributeSet) { View view
= super.onCreateView(...); if (view instanceOf TextView) { applyTypeface((TextView) view); } return view; }
What if… We could do this? <EditText android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" formatter="IndianRupees"
/>

What if… Or maybe this? <FrameLayout android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height=“wrap_content" paddings="16dp 20dp"
/>
WHAT IF I TOLD YOU IT’S POSSIBLE TO DO THAT?
Introducing, Balloon!
Balloon interface BalloonAttributeListener { void onApplyAttribute( View view, int attributeResId,
Object attributeValue ); }
Application#onCreate() Balloon.config() .registerAttr(R.attr.formatter, FormatterAttrListener) .build(); Balloon
Application#onCreate() Balloon.config() .registerAttr(R.attr.formatter, FormatterAttrListener) .build(); Balloon
Application#onCreate() Balloon.config() .registerAttr(R.attr.formatter, FormatterAttrListener) .build(); Balloon
Balloon class FormatterAttrListener implements BalloonAttributeListener <> { @Override void onApplyAttribute(EditText
view, int attrResId, String attrValue) { if ("IndianRupees".equals(attrValue)) { // Add rupee symbol and format digits } } }
Pros Composition > Inheritance Can be used for multiple types
of Views Quick
Cons “Experimental” No layout preview in Android Studio
Working class BalloonLayoutInflater extends LayoutInflater { ... }
Challenges Activity getLayoutInflater() -> return LayoutInflater
Challenges Activity getLayoutInflater() -> return LayoutInflater -> return BalloonLayoutInflater
Challenges public class BalloonContext extends Context { ... }
Challenges Activity @Override void attachBaseContext(Context base) { super.attachBaseContext(BalloonContext.wrap(base)); }
Challenges Activity @Override void attachBaseContext(Context base) { super.attachBaseContext(BalloonContext.wrap(base)); }
Challenges BalloonContext @Override Object getSystemService(String name) { if (LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE.equals(name)) {
return new BalloonLayoutInflater(); } return super.getSystemService(name); }
Challenges BalloonContext @Override Object getSystemService(String name) { if (LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE.equals(name)) {
return new BalloonLayoutInflater(); } return super.getSystemService(name); }
Challenges Activity getLayoutInflater() -> return BalloonLayoutInflater

Learnings Layout inflation is a slow process. Complex layouts can
affect an Activity’s startup time.
Learnings Why non-framework Views require their fully qualified names in
XML whereas framework Views don’t. <is.uncommon.FancyCustomView /> vs. <TextView />
That’s all folks!
Uncommon hello @ uncommon.is
