I defined some complex AnimationSet in xml and would like to run it on several Views (View.startAnimation()). i cannot just create one instance of this AnimationSet (using AnimationUtils.loadAnimation()) and use it as parameter of View.startAnimation(), so i have to create several instances of this AnimationSet. since loading it from xml is rather slow operation, is there a way to load it once and then clone it when needed?

I've a succession of 2 Intent: Intent intent = new Intent(); intent.setClass(EntryPoint.this, MainClass.class); startActivity(intent);
And I'd like an animation (which is present in res/anim) occurs during the transition between these 2 Intents...

I need to run six animations simultaneously (each animation simulates a roll of dice, each dice is a custom text view) and at the end of those animations, I need to get back the number of each roll. As each animation changes the number of each dice five times (to simulate the roll), I want to wait that each animation has ended to calculate the sum of each roll. I tried to regroup in one the six animations (so that with an animation listener, I would have been able to wait the end of the animation) but I didn't manage it.

I've been looking around in the framework source and I can get my head around some things. For instance, in the ScrollView, the animated scrolling is done by using computeScroll(). To make the screen redraw (and thus call computeScroll() again), postInvalidate() is used. Why is that one used, instead of a regular invalidate-call?
Secondly, I wonder some things about the Animation framework. I know how a ViewGroup is responsible for animating the children (modifying the Canvas and so on), but what drives the animation, i.e. what makes the screen redraw over and over again? In the case of the ScrollView, it's the call to postInvalidate() made from computeScroll(), but what is it in the case of an Animation?

I'm developing chess game for Android (androidchess.appspot.com). If I want to add animations, should I use custom View extending Canvas (I do this now), or custom View extending SurfaceView?

I am at a stage where I can understand and write a decent Android application. At this stage, I am still not comfortable with SurfaceHolder, Canvas, View invalidate() etc. I don't have a CS background so I must've missed these from a CS Graphics course or something.
Starting directly with Android seemed like a bad idea because there are not many examples out there. And sometimes I am getting things done, but I don't understand what the heck is going on. For instance, there are a few dangling observations. Calling invalidate() from within a view calls its onDraw method but from outside it doesn't do anything and I don't know why this is happening. I know SurfaceHolder can be a powerful thing but I don't know how to use it.
For an absolute beginner to be able to handle this stuff, what are the resources one should follow? Is it animation basics or screen rendering or something else altogether? I mean, it cannot be the case that Android guys invented these concepts right? They must be similar to something out there which has some tutorials already. My end goal is to put myself in a position where I can write some simple custom views that can animate themselves and use some basic physics to react to touch events.

i tried to use my popupWindow with some enter/exit animations - it has setAnimationStyle() method for that purpose. after some time i realized i cannot use my own custom animation styles which is ok but a bit limiting. so i tried system ones: R.style.Animation_Toast works ok, but R.style.Animation_Dialog doesn't. looking at xml definition files i found that Toast animation uses simple alpha animation and Dialog animation is a set of alpha combined wit scale animation. is it a problem for WindowManager to deal with complex animations?

I am wondering how to use custom in/out animations for a ViewAnimator, such as the 3d flip animation in the ApiDemos. Details below in case you have the time to read.
The following methods:
animator.setInAnimation(AnimationUtils.loadAnimation(this, R.anim.fade_in));
animator.setInAnimation(this, R.anim.fade_in);
Require that I use the animation as a XML resource but the documentation says the XML only takes "<alpha>, <scale>, <translate>, <rotate>, interpolator element, or <set>" as the root element. So it seems to indicate that you cannot use a custom animation as an XML resource?
I also tried:
animator.setInAnimation(new AlphaAnimation(0.0f, 1.0f));
Which doesn't seem to work (no animation happens just plain cut).

I have made a custom framework-res.apk that has Android 2.1 "like" animations for the Samsung Behold 2.
You need root to do this and can find out how to root in a different thread.
*NEW* 5/5/10 Animations for Galaxy R10!
Download: 4shared.com - online file sharing and storage - download framework-res.apk
Follow Instructions for R8 as they are the same.
Do not use this framework with any other ROM or previous versions of Galaxy.
Tested and fully working in R10!
If your having problems with this build, download Factory anims at: 4shared.com - online file sharing and storage - download (3)framework-res.apk
*Remove the (3) from the framework file after downloading*
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Galaxy R8 Version
Download the framework here: 4shared.com - online file sharing and storage - download (2)framework-res.apk
Rename the file framework-res.apk (removing the 2).
Now move the file to your Android SDK folder/tools folder on your hard drive.
Next, go to your command prompt and type, pressing enter after every line:
cd
cd (Android SDK folder location) ools
adb push ./framework-res.apk /system/framework
Now reboot your phone and you should have new animations.
I have tested this with BH_MAN's Galaxy 1.6 R8 ROM and everything is working.
*DO NOT USE ON ANY OTHER ROM, it will not work!*
The R8 ROM: http://androidforums.com/all-things-root-behold-2/54769-port-galaxy-1-6-behold-2-a.html
If your having problems with the animations, go to this link to download the factory animations: 4shared.com - online file sharing and storage - download framework-res.apk
Then follow the steps above to apply.
Finally, be sure to have "Animations" enabled under Settings>Sound and Display>Animation for this to work for you or else you will see no difference.

I have small ViewGroup somewhere in the middle of the screen. this ViewGroup contains some Views that i'd like to animate.
now this ViewGroup in dispatchDraw() method manages any child Views animations, clipping them to ViewGroup's bounds.
my question is whether it is possible not to clip them to ViewGroup's bounds?

I'm drawing a rect to a surfaceview. Nothing special, just a test like this, in the surfaceview-extended class:
private int mPosX = 0; private Paint mPaint = new Paint(); Code...
the rect just bounces around the screen. I'm watching DDMS, I still see the garbage collector being called, even with this simple draw loop. There is no other application code being executed.
I'm wondering if it's realistic to expect the gc to not be called at all if we take care to not allocate any objects during our draw loops. I'm trying to extend this example to do some smooth animations, but every once in awhile the gc is called and you can see the drawing stutter. Although none of my application code is allocating any new objects, I don't know what the underlying API is doing inside surfaceview etc, and I doubt we can control that. Just wondering if this is not possible, I'd prefer to abandon this game idea up-front if we can't guarantee smooth animation.

I was wandering whether there is a way to perform
animations between activities like you see when you press the search in google maps (it slides down from the top).
From my research I have gathered it us only possible been views. Am I missing something?

I'm just starting to get the hang of animations, tweened animations that is. I have made several imageviews with pictures rotating and moving, and its all very fun, but I don't know what the best approach for doing multiple animations is.
For example I created a LinearLayout and stuck some ImageViews in it and wrote this:
CODE:...............
for each imageview. So they all spin. But now I want to step it up a gear. But reaidng other sources on the net it seems some people use canvas to do animations. What is the best way?

Do you have settings were you can have the weather animations play longer in the back ground? Do you have other options when the weather animations play besides when you swipe the lock screen? I am new to the Android world but I love HTC weather animations.

Finally, after months of being MIA and somewhat around in between, I finally have some new releases together. I am still working on some more also so check back for updates.
My old thread containing boot animations is now but links to the downloads for those animations are included in this thread. In order to minimize confusion and also to give everyone the desired visual before downloading that I know so many of us enjoy previews are included for your ease of selection and enjoyment.
Many thanks go out to LiQuID, Ubrocked, GirLuvsDroid & everyone else who has helped with ideas, testing and promotion. Also, with my newest mods available I'd also just like to shout out a thanks to: cool saber, for his droid does original boot animation. In addition, I now have some fully original boot animations available with a few more to come shortly.
LiQuID Frozen Yogurt Users:
Also, in LiQuID's new release of 1.7 LFY, with each theme color available these boot animations will already be included in the download links for the themes ready to go, so LFY users of 1.7 after its release need NOT download these unless you want to switch them out or you are customizing with a different theme and of course if you want to use them and you are running an older version of LFY. With each preview that you see, in order to download the one you want simply click on the preview and you will automatically be linked to the download for that boo animation.
VERY IMPORTANT:
After downloading, for users that are not already familiar with this you will need to make sure that you rename the boot animation when ready to use to the name bootanimation.zip exactly as I have it spelled there and I do believe that it is case sensitive.
Also, if you are a newly rooted user or are not sure how to replace this I recommend using root explorer - and then follow these steps:
1.Rename file xyz.zip to bootanimation.zip
2.Copy or Move File
3.Go to System/Media
4.Select Read/Write setting
5.Paste and click OK to overwrite(possibly copy this to another directory for a bakup before overwriting or you will lose the bootanimation already in your phone)
6.Long press to generate menu and select permissions
7.Select rw-r-r or use all permissions
8.Select Read/Only setting
9.Reboot and Enjoy
Another option is to:
put the bootanimation.zip, using terminal into data/local ...
typing command:
#su
#cp /sdcard/bootanimation.zip /data/local/
Keep the spaces it won't work without them also do not type the # symbols
# = superuser privileges
$ = no super user privileges
If anyone encounters any bugs, etc... or you just need a little more help on how to use these just post and I'll and I'm sure other users too, will be more than happy to do my/our best to correct any issues or assist in answering your questions.
I truly hope everyone enjoys and please consider donating (link at bottom) if you like my or LiQuID's hard work as we are facing possible eviction if we don't catch up on rent soon and can barely make it right now. If you can't we understand too and enjoy bringing you more enjoyment with your phones, we just ask if you can spare anything to please consider trying to help out a family in need.

I cannot be held responsible for any negative actions that may/will come as a result of anyone seeing these on your phone, be it your parents grounding you or your wife/gf slapping you or heaven forbid...kicking you in the groin. Use at your own risk.

I've done a fair amount of searching for boot animations (maybe I need to brush up on my searching skills) but I can't seem to find a good collection of boot animations. If people would be so kind as to upload vids of there custom boots and maybe some links to download that would be super fantastic of you!
