How does one use Resources.getFraction()

转：http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11734470/how-does-one-use-resources-getfraction How do I store a fractional value like 3.1416 in resources? What to write in the XML and how to retrieve it in Java code? The documentation for getFraction() states: public float getFraction (int id, int base, int pbase) Retrieve a fractional unit for a particular resource ID. Parameters base The base value of this fraction. In other words, a standard fraction is multiplied by this value. pbase The parent base value of this fraction. In other words, a parent fraction (nn%p) is multiplied by this value. Returns Attribute fractional value multiplied by the appropriate base value This answer shows a simple example of percentages without going into the details of what the arguments mean. android  android-resources share improve this question asked  Jul 31 '12 at 6:39 Dheeraj V.S. 7,480 4 25 60

You specify fractions in XML as so: <item name="fraction" type="fraction">5%</item> <item name="parent_fraction" type="fraction">2%p</item> Where 5% would be 0.05 when actually used. Then: // 0.05f getResources().getFraction(R.fraction.fraction, 1, 1); // 0.02f getResources().getFraction(R.fraction.parent_fraction, 1, 1); // 0.10f getResources().getFraction(R.fraction.fraction, 2, 1); // 0.10f getResources().getFraction(R.fraction.fraction, 2, 2); // 0.04f getResources().getFraction(R.fraction.parent_fraction, 1, 2); // 0.04f getResources().getFraction(R.fraction.parent_fraction, 2, 2); As you can see, depending on the type of fraction, the getFraction method multiples the values accordingly. If you specify a parent fraction (%p), it uses the second argument (pbase), ignoring the first. On the other hand, specifying a normal fraction, only the base argument is used, multiplying the fraction by this.
