Field Detail

• CENTER

  public static final Gravity CENTER

  Reference point is with respect to the center of the screen. If you're trying to center your Window on the screen this probably isn't what you want; see Window's setPosition() with an argument of CENTER or CENTER_ALWAYS instead.

• EAST

  public static final Gravity EAST

  Co-ordinates are with respect to the center of the right-hand edge of the Window. This is rarely useful.

• NORTH

  public static final Gravity NORTH

  Co-ordinates are with respect to the center of the top edge of the Window. This is rarely useful.

• NORTH_EAST

  public static final Gravity NORTH_EAST

• NORTH_WEST

  public static final Gravity NORTH_WEST

  Orientation to the top left corner of the screen and co-ordinates running right and down. This is the default gravity and matches what you'd normally expect x,y to mean on an X display: horizontal and vertical distance from the top-left corner.

• SOUTH

  public static final Gravity SOUTH

  Co-ordinates are with respect to the center of the bottom edge of the Window. This is rarely useful.

• SOUTH_EAST

  public static final Gravity SOUTH_EAST

• SOUTH_WEST

  public static final Gravity SOUTH_WEST

• STATIC

  public static final Gravity STATIC

  This is a weird one: it is in reference to the top-left corner of the Window itself (like NORTH_WEST but ignoring whatever decorations etc have been added outside by the window manager. At first this would seem brilliantly useful, but since it ignores window decorations, moving to the co-ordinates returned by getPosition() will actually cause the Window to move slightly on the screen, rather than staying still as you might have expected. So even when you think you want this, you really want NORTH_WEST, which is why it's the default.

• WEST

  public static final Gravity WEST

  Co-ordinates are with respect to the center of the left-hand edge of the Window. This is rarely useful.
