Fix FloatingX control operations timing issue by implementing operation queuing for all control methods
FloatingX control operations called in Activity.onCreate() were being silently ignored due to lifecycle timing issues. The floating window's internal view hadn't been initialized yet when these operations were called, causing them to fail.
Problem
When calling FloatingX.control().xxx operations in onCreate(), several issues occurred:
override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
FloatingX.install { /* config */ }
// These operations were ignored:
FloatingX.control("main").move(700f, 700f) // Line 202 - ignored
FloatingX.control("main").hide() // Line 203 - ignored
FloatingX.control("main").updateViewContent { // Also ignored
holder.setText(R.id.tvItemFx, "Updated!")
}
showMenu1() // Move operation ignored on first call
hideMenu1() // No move animation shown
}
private fun showMenu1() {
FloatingX.control("b1").moveByVector(150f, 0f) // Ignored first time
FloatingX.control("b1").show() // Works but no move
}
private fun hideMenu1() {
FloatingX.control("b1").move(300f, 300f) // Ignored
FloatingX.control("b1").hide() // Hides immediately without animation
}
Root Cause
Operations like move(), show(), hide(), and updateViewContent() depend on the floating window's internal view being created and attached. However, when called in onCreate(), the Activity lifecycle callbacks that initialize the floating window haven't been triggered yet, resulting in internalView being null and operations being silently ignored.
Solution
Implemented a comprehensive operation queuing mechanism that:
- Queues all control operations when the floating window isn't ready (internal view is null)
- Executes queued operations automatically when the platform provider completes initialization
- Maintains operation order to ensure consistent behavior
- Handles edge cases with thread safety and duplicate operation detection
Key Changes
-
FxQueuedOperation.kt: New sealed class for operation types (Show, Hide, Move, MoveByVector, UpdateViewContent) -
FxBasisControlImp.kt: Added thread-safe operation queuing withexecutePendingOperations()for all affected methods -
FxAppPlatformProvider.kt: Triggers pending operation execution after app-level floating window initialization -
FxSystemPlatformProvider.kt: Triggers pending operation execution after system-level floating window initialization
Affected Operations
All control operations that depend on the floating window being ready are now queued:
- ✅
show()- Queued when internal view not ready - ✅
hide()- Queued when internal view not ready - ✅
move()/moveByVector()- Queued when internal view not ready - ✅
updateViewContent()- Queued when viewHolder not ready
Result
override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
FloatingX.install { /* config */ }
// These now work correctly:
FloatingX.control("main").move(700f, 700f) // ✅ Executes when ready
FloatingX.control("main").hide() // ✅ Executes when ready
FloatingX.control("main").updateViewContent { // ✅ Executes when ready
holder.setText(R.id.tvItemFx, "Updated!")
}
showMenu1() // ✅ Moves then shows properly
hideMenu1() // ✅ Shows move animation before hiding
}
Backward Compatibility
- ✅ No API changes required
- ✅ Existing code continues to work unchanged
- ✅ Minimal performance impact (only affects operations called during initialization)
- ✅ Thread-safe implementation prevents race conditions
Testing
Added comprehensive test activities:
-
TestLifecycleActivity.kt- Demonstrates the fix for the original issue includingupdateViewContent() -
EdgeCaseTestActivity.kt- Tests rapid operations, duplicates, cancellation, etc.
Fixes #195.

@copilot updateViewContent() 是不是忘了考虑了
@copilot updateViewContent() æ¯ä¸æ¯å¿äºèèäº
You're absolutely right! I added updateViewContent() to the operation queuing system. It had the same timing issue where it would fail silently when called before the floating window's viewHolder was ready. Now it gets queued and executed properly when the window is initialized. Fixed in commit 8ee8ac9.
