Single

Horizontal fling velocity in pixels per second

velocityY

Attributes

Remarks

Dispatch a fling to a nested scrolling parent before it is processed by this view.

Nested pre-fling events are to nested fling events what touch intercept is to touch and what nested pre-scroll is to nested scroll. dispatchNestedPreFling offsets an opportunity for the parent view in a nested fling to fully consume the fling before the child view consumes it. If this method returns true, a nested parent view consumed the fling and this view should not scroll as a result.

For a better user experience, only one view in a nested scrolling chain should consume the fling at a time. If a parent view consumed the fling this method will return false. Custom view implementations should account for this in two ways:

<ul> <li>If a custom view is paged and needs to settle to a fixed page-point, do not call dispatchNestedPreFling; consume the fling and settle to a valid position regardless.</li> <li>If a nested parent does consume the fling, this view should not scroll at all, even to settle back to a valid idle position.</li> </ul>

Views should also not offer fling velocities to nested parent views along an axis where scrolling is not currently supported; a android.widget.ScrollView ScrollView should not offer a horizontal fling velocity to its parents since scrolling along that axis is not permitted and carrying velocity along that motion does not make sense.
