Registry

Defined in fuchsia.ui.annotation/annotation.fidl

Annotation allows a privileged client service to create an "annotation" ViewHolder, linked with an annotation View drawn within the View-space of the existing client View.

CreateAnnotationViewHolder

Creates a new annotation ViewHolder. The created ViewHolder holds an annotation View which renders within the existing client's View-space without that client's knowledge.

The client should create a ViewToken / ViewHolderToken pair, pass the ViewHolderToken as an argument to this function to create the annotation ViewHolder, and create an annotation View in its own Session using the corresponding ViewToken.

The annotation View has the following properties: + It is a descendent of client_view's ViewNode in the scene graph but it's not visible by the Session of client_view. + It does not receive or intercept any hit event. + It always has the same rendering state as client_view and always match the size and metrics.

When client_view's Session receives the following Events, all its annotation Views' Sessions will receive the corresponding Events of the annotation Views: + ViewAttachedToSceneEvent + ViewDetachedFromSceneEvent + ViewPropertiesChangedEvent + ViewStateChangedEvent

Since creating a ViewHolder modifies the SceneGraph, this function won't take effect until we schedule a new frame by calling Present() on any Session.

EPITAPH

There are a few erroneous conditions where the annotation ViewHolder will not be created and the the FIDL binding will be disconnected. Clients should remove the annotation View and Session they create.

It may return the following epitaphs:

• ZX_ERR_INVALID_ARGS, if the provided ViewRef is invalid.
• ZX_ERR_PEER_CLOSED, if Scenic fails creating the annotation ViewHolder.
