Ok I have a ViewFlipper
with three LinearLayouts
nested inside it. It defaults to showing the first one. This code:
// Assumptions in my Activity class:
// oldTouchValue is a float
// vf is my view flipper
@Override
public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent touchEvent) {
switch (touchEvent.getAction()) {
case MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN: {
oldTouchValue = touchEvent.getX();
break;
}
case MotionEvent.ACTION_UP: {
float currentX = touchEvent.getX();
if (oldTouchValue < currentX) {
vf.setInAnimation(AnimationHelper.inFromLeftAnimation());
vf.setOutAnimation(AnimationHelper.outToRightAnimation());
vf.showNext();
}
if (oldTouchValue > currentX) {
vf.setInAnimation(AnimationHelper.inFromRightAnimation());
vf.setOutAnimation(AnimationHelper.outToLeftAnimation());
vf.showPrevious();
}
break;
}
case MotionEvent.ACTION_MOVE: {
// TODO: Some code to make the ViewFlipper
// act like the home screen.
break;
}
}
return false;
}
public static class AnimationHelper {
public static Animation inFromRightAnimation() {
Animation inFromRight = new TranslateAnimation(
Animation.RELATIVE_TO_PARENT, +1.0f,
Animation.RELATIVE_TO_PARENT, 0.0f,
Animation.RELATIVE_TO_PARENT, 0.0f,
Animation.RELATIVE_TO_PARENT, 0.0f);
inFromRight.setDuration(350);
inFromRight.setInterpolator(new AccelerateInterpolator());
return inFromRight;
}
public static Animation outToLeftAnimation() {
Animation outtoLeft = new TranslateAnimation(
Animation.RELATIVE_TO_PARENT, 0.0f,
Animation.RELATIVE_TO_PARENT, -1.0f,
Animation.RELATIVE_TO_PARENT, 0.0f,
Animation.RELATIVE_TO_PARENT, 0.0f);
outtoLeft.setDuration(350);
outtoLeft.setInterpolator(new AccelerateInterpolator());
return outtoLeft;
}
// for the next movement
public static Animation inFromLeftAnimation() {
Animation inFromLeft = new TranslateAnimation(
Animation.RELATIVE_TO_PARENT, -1.0f,
Animation.RELATIVE_TO_PARENT, 0.0f,
Animation.RELATIVE_TO_PARENT, 0.0f,
Animation.RELATIVE_TO_PARENT, 0.0f);
inFromLeft.setDuration(350);
inFromLeft.setInterpolator(new AccelerateInterpolator());
return inFromLeft;
}
public static Animation outToRightAnimation() {
Animation outtoRight = new TranslateAnimation(
Animation.RELATIVE_TO_PARENT, 0.0f,
Animation.RELATIVE_TO_PARENT, +1.0f,
Animation.RELATIVE_TO_PARENT, 0.0f,
Animation.RELATIVE_TO_PARENT, 0.0f);
outtoRight.setDuration(350);
outtoRight.setInterpolator(new AccelerateInterpolator());
return outtoRight;
}
}
... handles the view flipping but the animations are very "on/off". I'm wondering if someone can help me out with the last part. Assuming that I can access the LinearLayouts, is there a way where I can set the position of the layouts based on deltaX and deltaY?
Someone gave me this link and said I should refer to the applyTransformation
method for hints on how to do this but I don't know how to repeat this same behavior.
Moving the view while you're moving your finger is easily done:
case MotionEvent.ACTION_MOVE:
final View currentView = vf.getCurrentView();
currentView.layout((int)(touchEvent.getX() - oldTouchValue),
currentView.getTop(), currentView.getRight(),
currentView.getBottom());
break;
Now this only moves the current view, not the neighbors. I didn't test that yet, but those can probably be obtained by getChildAt:
vf.getChildAt(vf.getDisplayedChild() - 1); // previous
vf.getChildAt(vf.getDisplayedChild() + 1); // next
Hope that helps.
