Namespace Tizen.NUI

Classes

AbsoluteLayout

[Draft] This class implements a absolute layout, allowing explicit positioning of children. Positions are from the top left of the layout and can be set using the View.Position and alike.

Adaptor

An Adaptor object is used to initialize and control how Dali runs.

It provides the lifecycle interface that allows the application writer to provide their own main loop and other platform related features.

The Adaptor class provides a means for initialising the resources required by the Dali::Core.

When dealing with platform events, the application writer must ensure that DALi is called in a thread-safe manner.

As soon as the Adaptor class is created and started, the application writer can initialise their view objects straight away or as required by the main loop they intend to use (there is no need to wait for an initialize signal as per the Tizen.NUI.Application class).

AlphaFunction

Alpha functions are used in animations to specify the rate of change of the animation parameter over time.
Understanding an animation as a parametric function over time, the alpha function is applied to the parameter of the animation before computing the final animation value.

Animatable

Animatable.

AnimatedImageVisual

A class encapsulating the property map of the animated image (AGIF) visual.

Animation

Animation can be used to animate the properties of any number of objects, typically view.
If the "Finished" event is connected to a member function of an object, it must be disconnected before the object is destroyed.
This is typically done in the object destructor, and requires either the animation handle to be stored.
The overall animation time is superseded by the values given in the animation time used when calling the AnimateTo(), AnimateBy(), AnimateBetween() and AnimatePath() methods.
If any of the individual calls to those functions exceeds the overall animation time (Duration), then the overall animation time is automatically extended.

BaseHandle

BaseHandle is a handle to an internal Dali resource.

Container

CustomViewRegistry

View the Registry singleton. Used for registering controls and any scriptable properties they have (see ScriptableProperty).

Internal Design from C# to C++

Each custom C# view should have it's static constructor called before any JSON file is loaded. Static constructors for a class will only run once ( they are run per control type, not per instance). Example of running a static constructor: System.Runtime.CompilerServices.RuntimeHelpers.RunClassConstructor (typeof(Spin).TypeHandle); Inside the static constructor the control should register it's type with the ViewRegistry For example:

static Spin() { ViewRegistry.Instance.Register(CreateInstance, typeof(Spin) ); }

The control should also provide a CreateInstance function, which gets passed to the ViewRegistry. // Eventually it will be called if DALi Builderfinds a Spin control in a JSON file. static CustomView CreateInstance() { return new Spin(); }

The DALi C++ equivalent of this is

TypeRegistration mType( typeid(Toolkit::Spin), typeid(Toolkit::Control), CreateInstance );
