ColumnCalculator

Kotlin |Java

public class ColumnCalculator
extends Object

java.lang.Object
↳	androidx.car.util.ColumnCalculator

Utility class that calculates the width of the columns that will fit on the screen. A column's width is determined by the size of the margins and gutters (space between the columns) that fit on-screen.

Refer to the appropriate dimens and integers for the size of the margins and number of columns.

The following is an example of the location and sizes of margins and gutters:

Public methods

getColumnCount

public int getColumnCount ()

Returns the total number of columns that fit on the current screen.

Returns
`int`	The total number of columns that fit on the screen.

getColumnSpanWidth

public int getColumnSpanWidth (int columnSpan)

Returns the width in pixels that the given number of columns will span over.

This value takes into account the size of the gutter between the columns as well. For example, for a column span of four, the size returned is the sum of four columns and three gutters.

Parameters
`columnSpan`	`int`

Returns
`int`	The size in pixels for a given column span.

getColumnWidth

public int getColumnWidth ()

Returns the size in pixels of each column. The column width is determined by the size of the screen divided by the number of columns, size of gutters and margins.

Returns
`int`	The width of a single column in pixels.

getGutterCount

public int getGutterCount ()

Returns the total number of gutters that fit on screen. A gutter is the space between each column. This value is always one less than the number of columns.

Returns
`int`	The number of gutters on screen.

getGutterWidth

public int getGutterWidth ()

Returns the width of each gutter in pixels. A gutter is the space between each column.

Returns
`int`	The width of a single gutter in pixels.

getInstance

public static ColumnCalculator getInstance (Context context)

Gets an instance of the ColumnCalculator. If this is the first time that this method has been called, then the given Context will be used to retrieve resources.

Parameters
`context`	`Context`: The current calling Context.

Returns
`ColumnCalculator`	An instance of `ColumnCalculator`.
