CSS Specification

Introduction

eepp CSS custom implementation is heavily based on the official CSS standard. This document will try to explain the shared features and the current differences with the CSS specification. Since CSS is widely used and documented, every feature that it's shared with the CSS standard will be directly linked to the Mozilla CSS documentation. If you are totally new to CSS please go the Mozilla CSS portal.

Relevant differences with CSS standard

  • Layout properties are not supported (display, float, etc), since eepp layout system differs from the HTML+CSS specification (design decision).

  • inheritance is not supported, except for CSS custom properties (design decision).

  • Attribute selector is not supported (probably will not be supported in the near future, since collides with some implementation decisions).

  • CSS relative paths start from the process current working directory instead the relative path from the CSS file.

  • eepp CSS supports alternative path methods besides paths (resource locator to previously loaded resources by the process).

  • eepp CSS supports Device-independent pixel unit dp.

  • CSS files should be always UTF-8 encoded.

CSS Selectors

CSS selectors define the elements to which a set of CSS rules apply.

Basic selectors

Universal Selector

Universal selector selects all elements. Optionally, it may be restricted to a specific namespace or to all namespaces.

Syntax: * ns|* *|*

Example: * will match all the elements of the document.

Type Selector

Type selector selects all elements that have the given node name.

Syntax: elementname

Example: widget will match any <widget> element.

Class Selector

Class selector selects all elements that have the given class attribute.

Syntax: .classname

Example: .index will match any element that has a class of "index".

ID Selector

ID selector selects an element based on the value of its id attribute. There should be only one element with a given ID in a document.

Syntax: #idname

Example: #toc will match the element that has the ID "toc".

Grouping selectors

Selector List

The selector list , is a grouping method, it selects all the matching nodes.

Syntax: A, B

Example: widget, image will match both <widget> and <image> elements.

Combinators

Descendant combinator

The descendant combinator " " (space) combinator selects nodes that are descendants of the first element.

Syntax: A B

Example: LinearLayout image will match all <image> elements that are inside a <LinearLayout> element.

Child combinator

The child combinator > selects nodes that are direct children of the first element.

Syntax: A > B

Example: LinearLayout > listbox will match all <listbox> elements that are nested directly inside a <LinearLayout> element.

General sibling combinator

The general sibling combinator ~ selects siblings. This means that the second element follows the first (though not necessarily immediately), and both share the same parent.

Syntax: A ~ B

Example: TextView ~ image will match all <image> elements that follow a <TextView>, immediately or not.

Adjacent sibling combinator

The adjacent sibling combinator + selects adjacent siblings. This means that the second element directly follows the first, and both share the same parent.

Syntax: A + B

Example: TextView + image will match all <image> elements that directly follow an <TextView>.

CSS Properties

eepp CSS properties can be categorized in two big groups: CSS standard properties and eepp CSS properties.

Definitions:

  • Property names are case insensitive.
  • Some properties have aliases.
  • All property names that contain dashes (-), have aliases without those dashes.
    • For example: animation-delay also is animationDelay.
    • Other aliases will be clarified in the properties documentation.
  • All properties can be used as attributes of the XML node.
    • XML attributes are treated as inline CSS styling.
    • For example:
      • Something like:
      • LinearLayout { layout-width: match_parent; layout_height: match_parent; orientation: vertical; }
      • is similar to (but not equivalent, since specificity of inline CSS is higher):
      • <LinearLayout layout_width="match_parent" layout_height="match_parent" orientation="vertical"></LinearLayout>
  • CSS standard properties directly linked to the Mozilla docs are fully supported, otherwise a clarification will appear.
  • Applicable to will link to the EE::UI::UIWidget that can use that property, and betweeen parenthesis is the CSS element name.

layout-height

Specifies the basic height of the element. This is a required attribute for any element inside of a containing layout element that doesn't use any fixed size for its childs (ej: EE::UI::UILinearLayout, EE::UI::UIRelativeLayout). Its value may be a length/dimension (such as 12dp) for a constant height or one of the special constants.

layout-to-left-of

Positions the right edge of this element to the left of the given anchor element ID. Accommodates right margin of this element and left margin of anchor element.

  • Applicatable to: Any child of a EE::UI::UIRelativeLayout (RelativeLayout)

  • Aliases: layout_to_top_of

layout-weight

Indicates how much of the extra space in the EE::UI::UILinearLayout (LinearLayout) is allocated to the element. Specify 0 if the element should not be stretched. Otherwise the extra pixels will be pro-rated among all views whose weight is greater than 0. The weight sum of all elements must be 1 to fill the whole parent length. The weight is applied to the orientation that the LinearLayout uses. This property behaves the same as the android:layout_weight XML attribute in Android (for those who are familiar with it). LinearLayout supports assigning a weight to individual children. This attribute assigns an "importance" value to a element, and allows it to expand to fill any remaining space in the parent view. Element/widget default weight is zero. In order to work properly you must set the layout-width or the layout-height to 0 to the element that uses layout weight. If the parent is a horizontal LinearLayout the layout-width must be set to 0, and if the parent if a vertical LinearLayout the layout-height must be set to 0, in order to use the layout weight.

CSS Shorthands

Shorthand properties are CSS properties that let you set the values of multiple other CSS properties simultaneously. Using a shorthand property, you can write more concise (and often more readable) style sheets, saving time and energy.

At-rules

At-rules are CSS statements that instructs CSS how to behave. They begin with an at sign, '@' (U+0040 COMMERCIAL AT), followed by an identifier and includes everything up to the next semicolon, ';' (U+003B SEMICOLON), or the next CSS block, whichever comes first.

The following at-rules are currently supported:

  • @import — Tells the CSS engine to include an external style sheet.

  • @media — A conditional group rule that will apply its content if the device meets the criteria of the condition defined using a media query. Media features currently supported: width, height, device-width, device-height, orientation, aspect-ratio, device-aspect-ratio, color, color-index, monochrome, resolution, prefers-color-scheme. Note: eepp prefers dark as default.

    non-standard media features: pixel-density: The pixel-density feature is specified as a float value representing the current pixel density used by the application. It is a range feature, meaning that you can also use the prefixed min-pixel-density and max-pixel-density variants to query minimum and maximum values, respectively.

    Also, eepp only uses screen media type.

  • @font-face — Describes the aspect of an external font to be downloaded. Only font-family and src properties are supported at the moment.

  • @keyframes — Describes the aspect of intermediate steps in a CSS animation sequence.

Pseudo-class selectors

A CSS pseudo-class is a keyword added to a selector that specifies a special state of the selected element(s). For example, :hover can be used to change a button's color when the user's pointer hovers over it.

Most common pseudo-class selectors are supported. The list is:

CSS Data Types

CSS data types define typical values (including keywords and units) accepted by CSS properties and functions.

For more details regarding this topic please read the CSS values and units Mozilla docs.

Types:

boolean (data-type)

Binary state with two possible values:

  • true
    • Aliases: 1, t, T, y, Y
  • false
    • Aliases: 0, f, F, n, N

integer (data-type)

Read integer documentation.

color (data-type)

Read color documentation.

Differences with documentation:

  • Only CSS Level 1 color keywords supported.
  • eepp adds hsv and hsva functions with the same syntax that hsl and hsla.
  • System colors not support.
  • New global color keywords can be registered to eepp by calling the static function: EE::System::Color::registerColor.
