View 1 RepliesI 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?

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.
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?
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..

If I try to copy this code in my own projects (so I can change the drawable), I get a compile error for framesCount and frameDuration.
Is <animated-rotate> something that can be used? And if so, how?
I'm trying to get an indeterminate progress image to show up in my custom listview row. I tried copying the progress animation xml file into my drawable folder and setting the image source to it, but it just shows a static image. How can I get it to animate, like it would in a dialog box or in the title bar?
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.
Is there any way to create a notification when a new e-mail arrives in my Android inbox? 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.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am trying to swap the position of two buttons. My swapping code looks as below.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI want to have a ViewGroup with another View in it. The user should be able to move the other View around the ViewGroup, and fling it away. However, the inner View shouldnt only move, it should also scale and so on (so we dont restrain ourselves to just movements). I don't really know the best way to implement it.
First I though about using a ViewGroup pretty much as it is (i.e. take advantage of the already-written methods). Then I could do the flinging with an Animation. However, when I move the View around with my finger, wouldnt I have to do a requestLayout, since the View changes size when I move it? Or could I just set a transform?
The other alternative would be to override the draw-method and do most of the work myself. For instance, when the user moves his/her finger, I could get a cache of the View and just paint it on the Canvas (with some transform). However, how would I do the flinging then, without an Animation? I could use a Scroller/VelocityTracker, but What would "drive" the repaints? Which is the best way to do this? Also, I won't have just one View, but a couple of them, so I'd like the solution to be effective.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI would like to know how to read in an image file which has multiple frames in it. Something like an animated gif file. I would like to perform frame by frame animation with a file of this type. I don't want to have each frame as drawables in the resource directory. Can anyone throw some light on how to perform the above mentioned tasks.
P.S - I have already checked the example in the API demos where an animated gif is read as an object of type Movie. I don't want to read it in as a movie file.
How do you create an animated dashed or dotted border of an arbitrary shape in Android? In XML (preferred) or programmatically.
See picture below for an example.
I have an Eris and running 2.1 (not rooted) Just started using Launcher Pro. One problem to resolve. I installed Beautiful Widgets - Home as I thought it acted the same as it does on HTC Sense. The location is good, the time is good but when I touch the weather part of the widget, it stays static. I expected to get to see the "forecast" for the next few days.
Also I expected it to be somewhat animated when it is invoked (fog, rain drops, sun throbbing, windshield wipers) as that's the way it is on HTC. I thinks some of you are using this app here on LP. Can you tell me what settings to use to get these features (animated weather and weather forecast) to work? Do I have to download and use a skin other than the default one? If this is a Beautiful Widgets developer question. Does someone have the developer's email as it's not provided in the site (in France I believe).
