Hey folks, I'm doing Android since 3 weeks and I really like it, everything was fine but now I really need help.
I do a simple slideshow app, I got my pictures in an array (not really array but that doesn't matter now), and I'd like to use transition effect to slide in the next picture. OK, so I have /res/picture.xml like this (I explain later why I set the width to 320px): <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <AbsoluteLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/ android" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:layout_width="320px" android:gravity="center_horizontal"> <ImageView android:id="@+id/picture" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" /> </AbsoluteLayout> ...and my class has these lines: setContentView(R.layout.picture); ImageView pictureImageView = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.picture); Animation frameAnimation = AnimationUtils.makeInAnimation(this, false); frameAnimation.setDuration(500); frameAnimation.setAnimationListener(animation); pictureImageView.setImageResource(pictureResource.getPicture()); pictureImageView.startAnimation(frameAnimation); Don't worry about pictureResource.getPicture(), this retrieves a valid image resource. Also, the variable 'animation' is an object for a proper AnimationListener. This class which implements AnimationListener sets the background of the current window to the current picture by onAnimationEnd() Now, the way it works: if you use your device in vertical direction, the application steps forward in the gallery (pictureResource.getPicture() gives the next picture resource), and you can see the actual picture because it's in the background, and the new picture slides in nicely. However, if the device is in horizontal direction, the background got stretched to the whole screen, which is bad for me, as all my pics are portrait images. That's why I set the layout width to 320px, but that doesn't help, the same effect as I used fill_parent You can ask, why I don't use layers. I tried, 2 ImageViews under each other and the bottom ImageView is changed to store the current picture, while the top ImageView has the new image (the one slides in), but in this way the slide-animation was "under" all the ImageViews. In vertical direction, I could only see the pictures changing without transition. I've seen the why in horizontal direction: 'cause the animation is "under" the ImageViews (both), the animation effect ended at the edge of the ImageView container. After it slide in, the new image got shown, which is alright, but ain't what I want. I wanna see the old image while the new image slides in ABOVE the old image. I used frameAnimation.setZAdjustment(Animation.ZORDER_TOP) but the animation was still under the ImageViews. Hope you understand my problem, and help me if you can Thanks --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Beginners" group.
