where R: Renderer, R::Error: Debug,

pub fn set_pointer_source(&mut self, source: PointerSource)

Sets the device source (touch/mouse/stylus) of the pointer sample that the platform is about to dispatch. Call this before set_cursor / pointer_pressed / pointer_released so the resulting PointerEvents carry the source so consumers can preserve device-specific gesture details without changing shared pointer UI.

pub fn pointer_source(&self) -> PointerSource

The device source of the most recent pointer sample.

pub fn set_cursor(&mut self, x: f32, y: f32) -> bool

pub fn set_cursor_at_time( &mut self, x: f32, y: f32, time_ms: Option<i64>, ) -> bool

Like set_cursor, but carries the platform input timestamp (milliseconds, platform-specific time base) of the sample.

Platforms that deliver input batched/frame-aligned (Android) must use this so gesture velocity is computed from real event times instead of delivery times.

pub fn set_cursor_at_event_time( &mut self, x: f32, y: f32, event_time: PointerEventTime, ) -> bool

Set the cursor using a timestamp already resolved into both clock domains.

pub fn pointer_pressed(&mut self) -> bool

pub fn pointer_pressed_at_time(&mut self, time_ms: Option<i64>) -> bool

Like pointer_pressed, but carries the platform input timestamp (milliseconds) of the press sample.

pub fn pointer_pressed_at_event_time( &mut self, event_time: PointerEventTime, ) -> bool

Dispatch primary-button down with an already resolved event timestamp.

pub fn pointer_released(&mut self) -> bool

pub fn pointer_released_at_position(&mut self, x: f32, y: f32) -> bool

Releases the pointer at the position carried by the platform’s release sample (Android ACTION_UP, web pointerup/touchend).

The cursor is moved to (x, y) WITHOUT dispatching a Move event, then the Up event is dispatched at that position. Platforms whose release events carry their own coordinates must use this instead of set_cursor* + pointer_released*: lift-off samples routinely roll back a few dp against the travel direction as the finger peels off, and feeding that jitter into gesture velocity trackers as a final Move sample can flip the sign of the computed fling velocity (flings that suddenly go the opposite way). Jetpack Compose likewise never feeds the up sample into velocity tracking.

pub fn pointer_released_at_position_time( &mut self, x: f32, y: f32, time_ms: Option<i64>, ) -> bool

Like pointer_released_at_position, but carries the platform input timestamp (milliseconds) of the release sample.

pub fn pointer_released_at_position_event_time( &mut self, x: f32, y: f32, event_time: PointerEventTime, ) -> bool

Release at a position with an already resolved event timestamp.

pub fn pointer_released_at_time(&mut self, time_ms: Option<i64>) -> bool

Like pointer_released, but carries the platform input timestamp (milliseconds) of the release sample.

pub fn pointer_released_at_event_time( &mut self, event_time: PointerEventTime, ) -> bool

Dispatch primary-button up with an already resolved event timestamp.

pub fn secondary_pointer_pressed( &mut self, pointer_id: u64, x: f32, y: f32, time_ms: Option<i64>, ) -> bool

Dispatches an event for a secondary pointer (pointer_id != 0).

Multi-touch gestures act on the element the first finger grabbed, so secondary pointers are routed to the hit path captured by the primary pointer’s Down. They carry no hover/click semantics and are ignored when no primary gesture is in progress.

Returns true when the event was dispatched to at least one target.

pub fn secondary_pointer_moved( &mut self, pointer_id: u64, x: f32, y: f32, time_ms: Option<i64>, ) -> bool

Move counterpart of secondary_pointer_pressed.

pub fn secondary_pointer_released( &mut self, pointer_id: u64, x: f32, y: f32, time_ms: Option<i64>, ) -> bool

Release counterpart of secondary_pointer_pressed.

pub fn pointer_zoomed(&mut self, zoom_factor: f32) -> bool

Dispatches a discrete zoom step (desktop ctrl+wheel, browser pinch) to the pointer handlers under the cursor.

zoom_factor is multiplicative: > 1.0 zooms in, < 1.0 zooms out. Returns true if a handler consumed the event.

pub fn pointer_scrolled(&mut self, delta_x: f32, delta_y: f32) -> bool

Dispatches a mouse wheel / trackpad scroll event to hovered pointer handlers.

Returns true if a handler consumed the event.

pub fn cancel_gesture(&mut self)

Cancels any active gesture, dispatching Cancel events to cached targets. Call this when:

• Window loses focus
• Mouse leaves window while button pressed
• Any other gesture abort scenario

pub fn set_platform_text_input( &mut self, handler: Rc<dyn PlatformTextInputHandler>, )

Installs the platform soft-keyboard handler for this shell’s app context.

The handler is invoked when a text field gains focus (show_keyboard) or when text-field focus is cleared or goes stale (hide_keyboard). Platform runtimes with an on-screen keyboard (Android, iOS) call this once after creating the shell.

pub fn clear_platform_text_input(&mut self)

Removes the platform soft-keyboard handler, if one is installed.

pub fn notify_app_paused(&mut self)

Notifies the framework that the host app was paused/backgrounded.

Withdraws any outstanding soft-keyboard request (and hides the keyboard) so the “keyboard shown” state does not survive across the pause and get restored on resume with no focused field. Platform runtimes call this from their pause lifecycle event.

pub fn notify_app_resumed(&mut self) -> bool

Notifies the framework that the host app resumed/foregrounded.

Never auto-shows the soft keyboard, even for a still-focused field: a warm resume keeps the caret but must not resurrect the keyboard (the user taps the field to bring it back). Always returns false so the platform runtime force-hides the OS-restored keyboard. Platform runtimes call this from their resume lifecycle event.

pub fn on_key_event(&mut self, event: &KeyEvent) -> bool

Routes a keyboard event to the focused text field, if any.

Returns true if the event was consumed by a text field.

On desktop, Ctrl+C/X/V are handled here when native clipboard support is enabled. On web, these keys are NOT handled here - they bubble to browser for native copy/paste events.

pub fn on_paste(&mut self, text: &str) -> bool

Handles paste event from platform clipboard. Returns true if the paste was consumed by a focused text field. O(1) operation using stored handler.

pub fn on_copy(&mut self) -> Option<String>

Handles copy request from platform. Returns the selected text from focused text field, or None. O(1) operation using stored handler.

pub fn on_cut(&mut self) -> Option<String>

Handles cut request from platform. Returns the cut text from focused text field, or None. O(1) operation using stored handler.

pub fn set_primary_selection(&mut self, _text: &str)

pub fn get_primary_selection(&mut self) -> Option<String>

pub fn sync_selection_to_primary(&mut self)

Syncs the current text field selection to PRIMARY (Linux X11). Call this when selection changes in a text field.

pub fn on_ime_preedit( &mut self, text: &str, cursor: Option<(usize, usize)>, ) -> bool

Handles IME preedit (composition) events. Called when the input method is composing text (e.g., typing CJK characters).

• text: The current preedit text (empty to clear composition state)
• cursor: Optional cursor position within the preedit text (start, end)

Returns true if a text field consumed the event.

pub fn on_ime_finish_composing(&mut self) -> bool

Finishes the active IME composition, keeping the composed text as committed text (Android finishComposingText semantics). Returns true if a text field consumed the event.

pub fn on_ime_set_composing_region( &mut self, start_bytes: usize, end_bytes: usize, ) -> bool

Marks existing text in the focused field as the composing region without changing it (Android setComposingRegion semantics). Offsets are UTF-8 bytes. Returns true if a text field consumed the event.

pub fn on_ime_set_selection( &mut self, start_bytes: usize, end_bytes: usize, ) -> bool

Moves the focused field’s selection/caret to [start_bytes, end_bytes) without editing text (Android InputConnection.setSelection; the path Gboard’s spacebar-swipe uses to scrub the cursor). Offsets are UTF-8 bytes. Returns true if a text field consumed the event.

pub fn ime_editor_state(&mut self) -> Option<ImeEditorState>

Returns a snapshot of the focused text field’s editable state for platform IMEs (text, selection and composition in UTF-8 bytes), or None when no text field is focused.

pub fn ime_caret_geometry(&mut self) -> Option<ImeCaretGeometry>

Window-space caret geometry of the focused field for coordinate-based platform text input (iOS trackpad cursor + tap-to-position), or None when no text field is focused.

pub fn clear_text_field_focus(&mut self)

Clears text-field focus (used by platform IME actions such as Android’s Done). The focus-loss notification hides the soft keyboard.

pub fn on_ime_delete_surrounding( &mut self, before_bytes: usize, after_bytes: usize, ) -> bool

Handles IME delete-surrounding events. Returns true if a text field consumed the event.

impl<R> AppShell<R>

where R: Renderer, R::Error: Debug,

pub fn new(renderer: R, root_key: Key, content: impl FnMut() + 'static) -> Self

pub fn new_with_size( renderer: R, root_key: Key, content: impl FnMut() + 'static, buffer_size: (u32, u32), viewport: (f32, f32), ) -> Self

pub fn new_with_size_and_density( renderer: R, root_key: Key, content: impl FnMut() + 'static, buffer_size: (u32, u32), viewport: (f32, f32), density: f32, ) -> Self

pub fn app_context(&self) -> &Rc<AppContext>

The shell’s AppContext. Platform backends use it to register per-context services (such as the OS clipboard) that need UIKit/JNI access the shell itself does not have: enter the context and call the relevant set_platform_* installer.

pub fn set_dev_options(&mut self, options: DevOptions)

Set development options for debugging and performance monitoring.

The FPS counter and other overlays are rendered directly by the renderer (not via composition) to avoid affecting performance measurements.

pub fn dev_options(&self) -> &DevOptions

Get a reference to the current dev options.

pub fn record_presented_frame( &mut self, frame_started_at: Instant, frame_finished_at: Instant, )

pub fn set_frame_pacing_mode(&mut self, mode: FramePacingMode)

pub fn handle_dev_overlay_click( &mut self, x: f32, y: f32, ) -> Option<FramePacingMode>

pub fn set_viewport(&mut self, width: f32, height: f32)

pub fn viewport_size(&self) -> (f32, f32)

pub fn set_buffer_size(&mut self, width: u32, height: u32)

pub fn set_frame_waker(&mut self, waker: impl Fn() + Send + Sync + 'static)

pub fn clear_frame_waker(&mut self)

pub fn should_render(&self) -> bool

pub fn needs_update(&self) -> bool

pub fn needs_redraw(&self) -> bool

Returns true if the shell needs to redraw (dirty flag, layout dirty, active animations). Note: Cursor blink is now timer-based and uses WaitUntil scheduling, not continuous redraw.

pub fn mark_dirty(&mut self)

Marks the shell as dirty, indicating a redraw is needed.

pub fn request_root_render(&mut self)

pub fn set_density(&mut self, density: f32)

pub fn has_active_animations(&self) -> bool

Returns true if there are active animations or pending recompositions.

pub fn has_active_pointer_gesture(&self) -> bool

pub fn next_event_time(&self) -> Option<Instant>

Returns the next scheduled event time for cursor blink. Use this for ControlFlow::WaitUntil scheduling.

pub fn frame_schedule(&self) -> FrameSchedule

pub fn schedule_platform_frame<D>(&self, driver: &D) -> FrameSchedule

where D: PlatformFrameDriver + ?Sized,

pub fn frame_scheduler_snapshot(&self) -> FrameSchedule

pub fn realtime_pointer_event_time( &self, platform_time_ms: Option<i64>, ) -> PointerEventTime

Timestamp a live input sample against the current animation clock.

pub fn exact_pointer_event_time( &self, platform_time_ms: Option<i64>, ) -> PointerEventTime

Timestamp deterministic input at the most recently processed frame.

pub fn update_after_frame_interval( &mut self, frame_interval: Duration, ) -> FrameUpdateResult

pub fn update_after_exact_interval( &mut self, frame_interval: Duration, ) -> FrameUpdateResult

Advance the frame clock by EXACTLY frame_interval past the last frame — no wall anchoring — and run one update there. Robot keyframe captures ride this to sample animations deterministically: while the advanced clock is ahead of wall time, interleaved wall-clocked updates clamp to it (dt 0) instead of fast-forwarding animations.

pub fn update_at_frame_time_nanos( &mut self, frame_time: u64, ) -> FrameUpdateResult

pub fn update(&mut self) -> FrameUpdateResult

fn pin_drop(self: Pin<&mut Self>)

🔬This is a nightly-only experimental API. (pin_ergonomics)

Execute the destructor for this type, but different to Drop::drop, it requires self to be pinned.
