Hi, I am trying to mimic the view of IPhone Safari. And also, if you have looked at the TweetDeck Application in IPhone.
It is quite similar to Anrdoid Browser, since it has minimized window. What I have been able to do is minimize the view using Animation as below : <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <set xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"; android:shareInterpolator="false"> <scale android:interpolator="@android:anim/ accelerate_decelerate_interpolator" android:fromXScale="1.0" android:toXScale="0.8" android:fromYScale="1.0" android:toYScale="0.6" android:pivotX="50%" android:pivotY="50%" android:fillAfter="false" android:keepScreenOn = "true" android:duration = "500" /> </set> The source code for the Activity goes like this : import android.app.Activity; import android.content.Intent; import android.graphics.Bitmap; import android.graphics.Canvas; import android.graphics.Matrix; import android.os.Bundle; import android.view.View; import android.view.animation.Animation; import android.view.animation.AnimationUtils; import android.widget.Button; import android.widget.LinearLayout; public class ShrinkAnimation extends Activity { private Button btnShrink = null; private LinearLayout ll = null; private Animation shrinkAnimation = null; private Bitmap shrunkview = null; /** Called when the activity is first created. */ @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.main); shrinkAnimation = AnimationUtils.loadAnimation(ShrinkAnimation.this,R.anim.shrink); btnShrink = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btnShrink); ll = (LinearLayout) findViewById(R.id.mainLayout); btnShrink.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() { @Override public void onClick(View v) { ll.startAnimation(shrinkAnimation); } }); } } And the layout is like this : <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/ android" android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" > <Button android:id = "@+id/btnShrink" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="Shrink" /> <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/ android" android:id="@+id/mainLayout" android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:baselineAligned="true" android:background="#FFFFFF" > <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/ android" android:orientation="horizontal" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_marginLeft="5dip" android:layout_marginRight="5dip" android:layout_marginTop="25dip" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_gravity="center" > <TextView android:text="Name : " android:id="@+id/NameLable" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:minWidth="70dip"/> <EditText android:text=" " android:id="@+id/name" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:maxWidth="400dip" android:gravity="top" android:minWidth="230dip"></EditText> </LinearLayout> <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/ android" android:orientation="horizontal" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_marginLeft="5dip" android:layout_marginRight="5dip" android:layout_gravity="center" android:layout_width="wrap_content"> <TextView android:text="Location : " android:id="@+id/locationLabel" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:minWidth="70dip"/> <EditText android:text=" " android:id="@+id/location" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:maxWidth="400dip" android:gravity="top" android:minWidth="230dip"></EditText> </LinearLayout> <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/ android" android:orientation="horizontal" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_marginLeft="5dip" android:layout_marginRight="5dip" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_gravity="center"> <TextView android:text="Initial : " android:id="@+id/initialLabel" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:minWidth="70dip"/> <EditText android:text=" " android:id="@+id/initial" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:maxWidth="400dip" android:gravity="top" android:minWidth="230dip"></EditText> </LinearLayout> <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/ android" android:orientation="horizontal" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_marginLeft="5dip" android:layout_marginRight="5dip" android:layout_marginTop="25dip" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_gravity="center"> <Button android:text="Search" android:id="@+id/search" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:gravity="center_horizontal|center" android:layout_width="150dip"></Button> </LinearLayout> </LinearLayout> </LinearLayout> This minimizes the view as I want, but the duration should be infinite. Is having animated view for indefinite period actually possible? Moreover, can I get the click event on that view then. What I want goes here : There will be initially one view quite similar to what I have shown here. When Shrink button is clicked that view should get minimized similar to the way Browser windows get minimized. And these views should be scrollable similar to Gallery. In short, I want to replicate the behavior of IPhone Safari and TweetDeck into my application. I hope now I am able to explain what I want.
