ViewGroupOverlay Class

Definition

A group overlay is an extra layer that sits on top of a ViewGroup (the "host view") which is drawn after all other content in that view (including the view group's children).

Remarks

A group overlay is an extra layer that sits on top of a ViewGroup (the "host view") which is drawn after all other content in that view (including the view group's children). Interaction with the overlay layer is done by adding and removing views and drawables.

ViewGroupOverlay is a subclass of ViewOverlay, adding the ability to manage views for overlays on ViewGroups, in addition to the drawable support in ViewOverlay.
