Sticky broadcasts should not be used. They provide no security (anyone can access them), no protection (anyone can modify them), and many other problems. The recommended pattern is to use a non-sticky broadcast to report that something has changed, with another mechanism for apps to retrieve the current value whenever desired.
abstract void	setTheme(int resid) Set the base theme for this context.
abstract void	setWallpaper(InputStream data) This method was deprecated in API level 5. Use `WallpaperManager.set()` instead. This method requires the caller to hold the permission `SET_WALLPAPER`.
abstract void	setWallpaper(Bitmap bitmap) This method was deprecated in API level 5. Use `WallpaperManager.set()` instead. This method requires the caller to hold the permission `SET_WALLPAPER`.

Public Constructors

public AppCompatActivity ()

Public Methods

public void addContentView (View view, ViewGroup.LayoutParams params)

Add an additional content view to the activity. Added after any existing ones in the activity -- existing views are NOT removed.

Parameters

view	The desired content to display.
params	Layout parameters for the view.

public AppCompatDelegate getDelegate ()

Returns

The AppCompatDelegate being used by this Activity.

public ActionBarDrawerToggle.Delegate getDrawerToggleDelegate ()

public MenuInflater getMenuInflater ()

Returns a MenuInflater with this context.

public ActionBar getSupportActionBar ()

Support library version of getActionBar().

Retrieve a reference to this activity's ActionBar.

Returns

The Activity's ActionBar, or null if it does not have one.

public Intent getSupportParentActivityIntent ()

Obtain an Intent that will launch an explicit target activity specified by sourceActivity's PARENT_ACTIVITY <meta-data> element in the application's manifest. If the device is running Jellybean or newer, the android:parentActivityName attribute will be preferred if it is present.

Returns

a new Intent targeting the defined parent activity of sourceActivity

public void onConfigurationChanged (Configuration newConfig)

Dispatch configuration change to all fragments.

Parameters

newConfig	The new device configuration.

public void onContentChanged ()

This hook is called whenever the content view of the screen changes (due to a call to Window.setContentView or Window.addContentView).

public void onCreateSupportNavigateUpTaskStack (TaskStackBuilder builder)

Support version of onCreateNavigateUpTaskStack(android.app.TaskStackBuilder). This method will be called on all platform versions. Define the synthetic task stack that will be generated during Up navigation from a different task.

The default implementation of this method adds the parent chain of this activity as specified in the manifest to the supplied TaskStackBuilder. Applications may choose to override this method to construct the desired task stack in a different way.

This method will be invoked by the default implementation of onNavigateUp() if shouldUpRecreateTask(android.content.Intent) returns true when supplied with the intent returned by getParentActivityIntent().

Applications that wish to supply extra Intent parameters to the parent stack defined by the manifest should override onPrepareSupportNavigateUpTaskStack(android.support.v4.app.TaskStackBuilder).

Parameters

builder	An empty TaskStackBuilder - the application should add intents representing the desired task stack

public final boolean onMenuItemSelected (int featureId, MenuItem item)

Dispatch context and options menu to fragments.

Parameters

featureId	The panel that the menu is in.
item	The menu item that was selected.

Returns

boolean Return true to finish processing of selection, or false to perform the normal menu handling (calling its Runnable or sending a Message to its target Handler).

public boolean onMenuOpened (int featureId, Menu menu)

Called when a panel's menu is opened by the user. This may also be called when the menu is changing from one type to another (for example, from the icon menu to the expanded menu).

Please note: AppCompat uses it's own feature id for the action bar: FEATURE_SUPPORT_ACTION_BAR.

Parameters

featureId	The panel that the menu is in.
menu	The menu that is opened.

Returns

The default implementation returns true.

public void onPanelClosed (int featureId, Menu menu)

Call onOptionsMenuClosed() on fragments.

Please note: AppCompat uses it's own feature id for the action bar: FEATURE_SUPPORT_ACTION_BAR.

Parameters

featureId	The panel that is being displayed.
menu	If onCreatePanelView() returned null, this is the Menu being displayed in the panel.

public void onPrepareSupportNavigateUpTaskStack (TaskStackBuilder builder)

Support version of onPrepareNavigateUpTaskStack(android.app.TaskStackBuilder). This method will be called on all platform versions. Prepare the synthetic task stack that will be generated during Up navigation from a different task.

This method receives the TaskStackBuilder with the constructed series of Intents as generated by onCreateSupportNavigateUpTaskStack(android.support.v4.app.TaskStackBuilder). If any extra data should be added to these intents before launching the new task, the application should override this method and add that data here.

Parameters

builder	A TaskStackBuilder that has been populated with Intents by onCreateNavigateUpTaskStack.

public void onSupportActionModeFinished (ActionMode mode)

Notifies the activity that a support action mode has finished. Activity subclasses overriding this method should call the superclass implementation.

Parameters

mode	The action mode that just finished.

public void onSupportActionModeStarted (ActionMode mode)

Notifies the Activity that a support action mode has been started. Activity subclasses overriding this method should call the superclass implementation.

Parameters

mode	The new action mode.

public void onSupportContentChanged ()

This method is deprecated.
Use onContentChanged() instead.

public boolean onSupportNavigateUp ()

This method is called whenever the user chooses to navigate Up within your application's activity hierarchy from the action bar.

If a parent was specified in the manifest for this activity or an activity-alias to it, default Up navigation will be handled automatically. See getSupportParentActivityIntent() for how to specify the parent. If any activity along the parent chain requires extra Intent arguments, the Activity subclass should override the method onPrepareSupportNavigateUpTaskStack(android.support.v4.app.TaskStackBuilder) to supply those arguments.

See Tasks and Back Stack from the developer guide and Navigation from the design guide for more information about navigating within your app.

See the TaskStackBuilder class and the Activity methods getSupportParentActivityIntent(), supportShouldUpRecreateTask(android.content.Intent), and supportNavigateUpTo(android.content.Intent) for help implementing custom Up navigation.

Returns

true if Up navigation completed successfully and this Activity was finished, false otherwise.

public ActionMode onWindowStartingSupportActionMode (ActionMode.Callback callback)

Called when a support action mode is being started for this window. Gives the callback an opportunity to handle the action mode in its own unique and beautiful way. If this method returns null the system can choose a way to present the mode or choose not to start the mode at all.

Parameters

callback	Callback to control the lifecycle of this action mode

Returns

The ActionMode that was started, or null if the system should present it

public void setContentView (View view)

Set the activity content to an explicit view. This view is placed directly into the activity's view hierarchy. It can itself be a complex view hierarchy. When calling this method, the layout parameters of the specified view are ignored. Both the width and the height of the view are set by default to MATCH_PARENT. To use your own layout parameters, invoke setContentView(android.view.View, android.view.ViewGroup.LayoutParams) instead.

Parameters

view	The desired content to display.

public void setContentView (int layoutResID)

Set the activity content from a layout resource. The resource will be inflated, adding all top-level views to the activity.

Parameters

layoutResID	Resource ID to be inflated.

public void setContentView (View view, ViewGroup.LayoutParams params)

Set the activity content to an explicit view. This view is placed directly into the activity's view hierarchy. It can itself be a complex view hierarchy.

Parameters

view	The desired content to display.
params	Layout parameters for the view.

public void setSupportActionBar (Toolbar toolbar)

Set a Toolbar to act as the ActionBar for this Activity window.

When set to a non-null value the getActionBar() method will return an ActionBar object that can be used to control the given toolbar as if it were a traditional window decor action bar. The toolbar's menu will be populated with the Activity's options menu and the navigation button will be wired through the standard home menu select action.

In order to use a Toolbar within the Activity's window content the application must not request the window feature FEATURE_SUPPORT_ACTION_BAR.

Parameters

toolbar	Toolbar to set as the Activity's action bar

public void setSupportProgress (int progress)

This method is deprecated.
Progress bars are no longer provided in AppCompat.

public void setSupportProgressBarIndeterminate (boolean indeterminate)

This method is deprecated.
Progress bars are no longer provided in AppCompat.

public void setSupportProgressBarIndeterminateVisibility (boolean visible)

This method is deprecated.
Progress bars are no longer provided in AppCompat.

public void setSupportProgressBarVisibility (boolean visible)

This method is deprecated.
Progress bars are no longer provided in AppCompat.

public ActionMode startSupportActionMode (ActionMode.Callback callback)

public void supportInvalidateOptionsMenu ()

Support library version of invalidateOptionsMenu().

Invalidate the activity's options menu. This will cause relevant presentations of the menu to fully update via calls to onCreateOptionsMenu and onPrepareOptionsMenu the next time the menu is requested.

public void supportNavigateUpTo (Intent upIntent)

Navigate from sourceActivity to the activity specified by upIntent, finishing sourceActivity in the process. upIntent will have the flag FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP set by this method, along with any others required for proper up navigation as outlined in the Android Design Guide.

This method should be used when performing up navigation from within the same task as the destination. If up navigation should cross tasks in some cases, see supportShouldUpRecreateTask(android.content.Intent).

Parameters

upIntent	An intent representing the target destination for up navigation

public boolean supportRequestWindowFeature (int featureId)

Enable extended support library window features.

This is a convenience for calling getWindow().requestFeature().

Parameters

featureId	The desired feature as defined in `Window` or `WindowCompat`.

Returns

Returns true if the requested feature is supported and now enabled.

public boolean supportShouldUpRecreateTask (Intent targetIntent)

Returns true if sourceActivity should recreate the task when navigating 'up' by using targetIntent.

If this method returns false the app can trivially call supportNavigateUpTo(android.content.Intent) using the same parameters to correctly perform up navigation. If this method returns false, the app should synthesize a new task stack by using TaskStackBuilder or another similar mechanism to perform up navigation.

Parameters

targetIntent	An intent representing the target destination for up navigation

Returns

true if navigating up should recreate a new task stack, false if the same task should be used for the destination

Protected Methods

protected void onCreate (Bundle savedInstanceState)

Perform initialization of all fragments and loaders.

Parameters

savedInstanceState	If the activity is being re-initialized after previously being shut down then this Bundle contains the data it most recently supplied in `onSaveInstanceState(Bundle)`. *Note: Otherwise it is null.*

protected void onDestroy ()

Destroy all fragments and loaders.

protected void onPostCreate (Bundle savedInstanceState)

Called when activity start-up is complete (after onStart() and onRestoreInstanceState(Bundle) have been called). Applications will generally not implement this method; it is intended for system classes to do final initialization after application code has run.

Derived classes must call through to the super class's implementation of this method. If they do not, an exception will be thrown.

Parameters

savedInstanceState	If the activity is being re-initialized after previously being shut down then this Bundle contains the data it most recently supplied in `onSaveInstanceState(Bundle)`. *Note: Otherwise it is null.*
