Constants

R

• R: Resources

Like Android’s generated R: holds numeric IDs for drawables, styles, and other packaged resources, e.g. R.drawable.ic_launcher, R.style.ScriptTheme.

Example

"nodejs";

const { R } = require("ui");

const context = $autojs.androidContext;
console.log(context.getDrawable(R.drawable.ic_delete));

Functions

defaultThemeContext

defaultThemeContext(): Context

Returns a Context suitable for inflating UI with the default script / Material theme (use this when you need a themed context for inflateXml or AndroidX widgets).

Returns

Context

inflateXml

inflateXml(ctx: Context, xml: string, parent?: any, attachToParent?: boolean): JsView<View>

Parses the XML layout string and builds the corresponding View hierarchy. On failure, throws InflateException.

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
ctx	Context	Android Context used for inflation. For AndroidX / Material views, pass a Material-themed context (often defaultThemeContext).
xml	string	Layout XML as a string.
parent?	any	Optional parent ViewGroup: supplies LayoutParams while inflating. If you do not attach the result to this parent, it is still used as the root for measurement when non-null.
attachToParent?	boolean	If true, the inflated view is added to parent. Default false.

Returns

JsView<View>

Wrapper around the inflated Android View root (see ui_view for JsView usage).
