view drawingCache

View组件显示的内容可以通过cache机制保存为bitmap, 使用到的api有

    void  setDrawingCacheEnabled(boolean flag),

    Bitmap  getDrawingCache(boolean autoScale),

    void  buildDrawingCache(boolean autoScale),

    void  destroyDrawingCache()

    我们要获取它的cache先要通过setDrawingCacheEnable方法把cache开启，然后再调用getDrawingCache方法就可以获得view的cache图片了。buildDrawingCache方法可以不用调用，因为调用getDrawingCache方法时，若果cache没有建立，系统会自动调用buildDrawingCache方法生成cache。若果要更新cache, 必须要调用destoryDrawingCache方法把旧的cache销毁，才能建立新的。

当调用setDrawingCacheEnabled方法设置为false, 系统也会自动把原来的cache销毁。

   ViewGroup在绘制子view时，而外提供了两个方法

   void setChildrenDrawingCacheEnabled(boolean enabled)

   setChildrenDrawnWithCacheEnabled(boolean enabled)

   setChildrenDrawingCacheEnabled方法可以使viewgroup里所有的子view开启cache, setChildrenDrawnWithCacheEnabled使在绘制子view时，若该子view开启了cache, 则使用它的cache进行绘制，从而节省绘制时间。

   获取cache通常会占用一定的内存，所以通常不需要的时候有必要对其进行清理，通过destroyDrawingCache或setDrawingCacheEnabled(false)实现。

 

eg. 

public class ReflectTextView extends TextView {

	public ReflectTextView(Context context) {
		super(context);

	}

	public ReflectTextView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle) {
		super(context, attrs, defStyle);

	}

	public ReflectTextView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
		super(context, attrs);

	}

	@Override
	protected void onDraw(Canvas canvas) {
		//draw the text from layout()
		super.onDraw(canvas);

		int height = getHeight();
		int width = getWidth();
		
		//make the shadow reverse of Y 
		Matrix matrix = new Matrix();
		matrix.preScale(1, -1);
		
		//make sure you can use the cache
		setDrawingCacheEnabled(true);
		//create bitmap from cache,this is the most important of this 
		Bitmap originalImage = Bitmap.createBitmap(getDrawingCache());
		//create the shadow
		Bitmap reflectionImage = Bitmap.createBitmap(originalImage, 0,
				height / 3, width, height / 3, matrix, false);
		//draw the shadow
		canvas.drawBitmap(reflectionImage, 0, 8 * height / 12, null);
		//process shadow bitmap to make it shadow like
		Paint paint = new Paint();
		LinearGradient shader = new LinearGradient(0, 8 * height / 12, 0,
				height, 0x70ffffff, 0x00ffffff, TileMode.CLAMP);		
		paint.setShader(shader);		
		paint.setXfermode(new PorterDuffXfermode(Mode.DST_IN));		
		canvas.drawRect(0, 8 * height / 12, width, height, paint);
	}
