Symptom: the ViewFlipper starts flipping views in an irregular pattern, much faster than the flipinterval set.
Cause: calling stopFlipping() / startFlipping() successively in intervals less than the flipInterval results in the FLIP_MSG message being submitted in the ViewFlipper's handler repeatedly, putting the flipper in a totally FUBAR state, switching to the next child earlier than it should. I am mad at whoever wrote the ViewFlipper.java code found in SDK1.5, 1.6 (merged into AOSP under the anonymous initial-contribution email), since ITS BUGGY and it cost me an awful lot of time debugging my own code, thinking I am doing something wrong! I would also like to THANK Jeff Sharkey for fixing this code in his 1162fd77a8ff8467c96204c00bcaf941aef6aa85 patch. Too bad we cant rely on the fixed code if we want to support devices with android 1.5/1.6 as well. -szabolcs -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
