Abstract
At least certain embodiments of the present disclosure include an environment with user interface software interacting with a software application. A method for operating through an application programming interface (API) in this environment includes transferring a set bounce call. The method further includes setting at least one of maximum and minimum bounce values. The set bounce call causes a bounce of a scrolled region in an opposite direction of a scroll based on a region past an edge of the scrolled region being visible in a display region at the end of the scroll.
Claims34
A method for operating through an application programming interface (API) in an environment with user interface software interacting with a software application, the method comprising:
- transferring a set bounce call to provide a bounce operation, wherein transferring the set bounce call causes a bounce of a scrolled content region in an opposite direction of a scroll based on a region past an edge of the scrolled content region being visible in a display region of a device at the end of the scroll, wherein the scrolled content region has a first velocity before the bounce and a second velocity, distinct from the first velocity, after the bounce.
A machine readable non-transitory medium storing executable program instructions which when executed cause a data processing system to perform a method comprising:
- transferring a set bounce call to provide a bounce operation, wherein transferring the set bounce call causes a bounce of a scrolled content region in an opposite direction of a scroll based on a region past an edge of the scrolled content region being visible in a display region of a device at the end of the scroll, wherein the scrolled content region has a first velocity before the bounce and a second velocity, distinct from the first velocity, after the bounce.
An apparatus, comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- memory storing one or more programs for execution by the one or more processors, the one or more programs including instructions for:
- transferring a set bounce call;
- and
- causing a bounce of a scrolled content region in an opposite direction of a scroll based on a region past an edge of the scrolled content region being visible in a display region of a device at the end of the scroll, wherein the scrolled content region has a first velocity before the bounce and a second velocity, distinct from the first velocity, after the bounce.
A method for operating through an application programming interface (API) in an environment with user interface software interacting with a software application, the method comprising:
- receiving a set bounce call to provide a bounce operation, wherein receiving the set bounce call causes a bounce of a scrolled content region in an opposite direction of a scroll based on a region past an edge of the scrolled content region being visible in a display region of a device at the end of the scroll, wherein the scrolled content region has a first velocity before the bounce and a second velocity, distinct from the first velocity, after the bounce.
A machine readable non-transitory medium storing executable program instructions which when executed cause a data processing system to perform a method comprising:
- receiving a set bounce call to provide a bounce operation, wherein receiving the set bounce call causes a bounce of a scrolled content region in an opposite direction of a scroll based on a region past an edge of the scrolled content region being visible in a display region of a device at the end of the scroll, wherein the scrolled content region has a first velocity before the bounce and a second velocity, distinct from the first velocity, after the bounce.
An apparatus, comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- memory storing one or more programs for execution by the one or more processors, the one or more programs including instructions for:
- receiving a set bounce call;
- and
- causing a bounce of a scrolled content region in an opposite direction of a scroll based on a region past an edge of the scrolled content region being visible in a display region of a device at the end of the scroll, wherein the scrolled content region has a first velocity before the bounce and a second velocity, distinct from the first velocity, after the bounce.
