Just like Twitter for android used to have (they removed it) - I need to display an animated background drawable.
How to I show an image that is actually bigger then the given layout dimensions (without the image being shrink).
What kind of animation do I need to use for the "moving" effect?

I want to display animated gifs in my aplication.
As I found out the hard way Android doesn't support animated gifs natively.
However it can display animations using AnimationDrawable:
http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/graphics/2d-graphics.html#frame-animation
The example uses animation saved as frames in application resources but what I need is to display animated gif directly.
My plan is to break animated gif to frames and add each frame as drawable to AnimationDrawable.
Does anyone know how to extract frames from animated gif and convert each of them into Drawable?
Is there a way, to make view's background animated? Android cant handle animated GIFs in 1.5 afaik, and I can't set video for BG resource.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

I have a GLSurfaceView with a drawable as background, however only the background is visible when rendered without surfaceView.setZOrderOnTop(true)I need to avoid using setZOrderOnTop(true) because there are static TextView's being used on top of the GLSurfaceView. Any suggestions for getting this to work?

I have a specific drawable that I use as background in my app. It is not a solid color.
Now I want to add rounded corners to this drawable.
I only found the rounded corner available in a shape with a gradient or a solid color as a background but not another drawable.
Is there another easy way of adding rounded corners to a drawable?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am trying to make a map overlay animated much like MyLocationOverlay does. Currently the only things that I can see to make animated are Views but Overlays don't extend View functionality. My next thought was to try to lodge a View into the overlay, but the redundancy makes it seem like this solution is incorrect. I grabbed the android source hoping that I could just look at MyLocationOverlay source and that would let me know how the animation was supposed to be done, but I can't find the source for anything involving maps. If that is available somewhere it would help. Can someone point me to the MyLocationOverlay source or let me know what the paradigm is supposed to look like for animating map overlays?

View 2 Replies View RelatedAny good weather apps(or direct sites) with ANIMATED radar that will load on non-Flash Android.Droid-X(until Froyo comes out...for real).I noticed Weather Channel DOES have an animated app that will load but it takes forever for it to load slower than animated radar would load on my Storm(which was relatively quick) but I thought this Droid-X was supposed to be fast. Yeah I know the problem is probably on TWC's side of things as they always seem to be slow.Had Accuweather on the Storm and I had the animated radar saved as a favorite and could one-click to get it.

View 7 Replies View RelatedWe are doing some prototyping for an Android app and we wanted to use Animated GIFs via webpages to get a sense of animation. Unfortunately, we have found that we can't do that on the Android's browser (or Opera for that matter). I've read some posting saying that this might get fixed but there were never any specific dates. Does anyone have some news on when we might be able to use Animated GIFs in webpages? If not, does anyone have any suggestions on good ways to develop quick animated visual prototypes of apps for Android? In particular, our design folks (who are handling the visual stuff) know HTML, Javascript, J-query but don't know Java and we would prefer to NOT have them learn another language, if possible as this is really just for rapid prototyping.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a TextView on which I set an onClickListener.
I assign a Traslate Animation to this TextView, so that it moves from position A to position B in the screen.
The Animation works as expected.
My problem is due to the fact that it does not matter in which position the TextView is during its movement: in order to trigger the "click event" I need to touch the screen only in the starting position (A).
EXAMPLE: Imagine that the TextView is in the bottom left corner and it starts moving toward the top right one. Imagine that the TextView is now in the center ofthe screen. If I touch the TextView where my eyes "see" it (= in the center of the screen), nothing happens. Else if I touch the starting point at the bottom left of the screen (which is a blank place because the TextView has moved from there), the event is triggered.
I just want to display an animated GIF file. I tried and its static only, its not animating. There are other ways like frame by frame or using animation classes.
But I want to know, whether android supports animated GIF image.
Suppose I have the URL for large animated gif and I wanted to make a youtube like activity that displays the animation in a streaming way. How do I
stream in the image?
get it do display with actual animation?
I know ImageView is not the answer as it only shows the first frame.
A bonus would be having access to its buffering status so I can synchronize streaming sound as well -- this is part of a YTMND viewer application. While I could create a service that transcodes the public gif files into a nicer format, I'd like the app to function without additional dependencies.
How do I add animated sprites to a custom view? I have used AnimationDrawable object to execute the animation. The animation works if I add the xml resource to the background of my custom view. But I want to know how to draw the animationdrawable directly on a canvas. Please help me with examples..

I'm trying to get an indeterminate progress image to show up in my custom listview row.

View 11 Replies View RelatedThe Android the MapView Overlay class mentions two draw methods. One regular, and one for animated overlays.
I have tried to find more information on how to animate overlays and use this second method, but it all keeps coming back to the same forum postings. Can anyone explain how you specify to the MapView that a certain Overlay should be animated? How do you specify the manner in which it animates?
If it's relevant, I'm currently trying to draw pins in the map that update in realtime with streaming GPS locations for objects. I get new data every two seconds and need to tween the locations by having the pins move in a simple straight line between coordinates.
In android 1.5 release notes I saw Animated window transitions.
What is this all about ?
IN my application i want to show trasitions if i go from one activity to other.We can set the animation for both activities and call when one is closing and other is opening.
But problem is when , the current animation will stop when the onCreate of next activity is called ?
Means , when activity is pushed to stack , ongoing animation is stopped. Because of this we cannot show a smooth transition effect between activities.

I would like to show an animation when I receive a new e-mail or SMS - would this be possible without writing my own e-mail client? I'd also like to be able to customize the notifications based on who the sender is, the subject line, etc - basically, the same sort of criteria I can use to filter a message using any of the big existing clients.
