      2 Android ClippingBasic Sample
      3 ===================================
      4 
      5 A basic app showing how to clip on a View using [ViewOutlineProvider][1] interface,
      6 by which a View builds its outline, used for shadowing and clipping.
      7 
      8 Introduction
      9 ------------
     10 
     11 The [ViewOutlineProvider][1] interface offers you a method to populate the outline of a View.
     12 You need to implement a getOutline(android.view.View, android.graphics.Outline)
     13 method to clip a View in a specific shape.
     14 
     15 This example clips the outline of a View as a rounded rectangle by defining a class that
     16  implements ViewOutlineProvider by following code:
     17 
     18 ```java
     19 private class ClipOutlineProvider extends ViewOutlineProvider {
     20     @Override
     21     public void getOutline(View view, Outline outline) {
     22         final int margin = Math.min(view.getWidth(), view.getHeight()) / 10;
     23         outline.setRoundRect(margin, margin, view.getWidth() - margin,
     24                 view.getHeight() - margin, margin / 2);
     25     }
     26 }
     27 ```
     28 
     29 To clip a View by the defined outline, setting a OutlineProvider to a View
     30 to be clipped is needed like following:
     31 
     32 ```java
     33 final View clippedView = view.findViewById(R.id.frame);
     34 clippedView.setOutlineProvider(mOutlineProvider);
     35 ```
     36 
     37 You can toggle if the View is clipped by calling [setClipToOutline(boolean)][2]
     38 like following code:
     39 
     40 ```java
     41 clippedView.setClipToOutline(true); // Setting false disable clipping
     42 ```
