2Android ClippingBasic Sample
3===================================
4
5A basic app showing how to clip on a View using [ViewOutlineProvider][1] interface,
6by which a View builds its outline, used for shadowing and clipping.
7
8Introduction
9------------
10
11The [ViewOutlineProvider][1] interface offers you a method to populate the outline of a View.
12You need to implement a getOutline(android.view.View, android.graphics.Outline)
13method to clip a View in a specific shape.
14
15This 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
19private 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
29To clip a View by the defined outline, setting a OutlineProvider to a View
30to be clipped is needed like following:
31
32```java
33final View clippedView = view.findViewById(R.id.frame);
34clippedView.setOutlineProvider(mOutlineProvider);
35```
36
37You can toggle if the View is clipped by calling [setClipToOutline(boolean)][2]
38like following code:
39
40```java
41clippedView.setClipToOutline(true); // Setting false disable clipping
42```
