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.
I have a custom view on which i have drawn some lines(to represent a grid) i want to use it as a background to another view!!!
View 2 Replies View RelatedJust 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 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 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.
Animated GIF images rendered by Android's WebView do not seem to animate. Has anyone figured out how to make them work? I'm testing on an N1 with 2.1-u1. None of the web settings available seem applicable.

If we place an animated gif file in gallery then thumbnail is not displayed.

I just moved some animated pics to my photo folder on my Behold II and when I view them in the photo gallery it's just stuck on the first frame and stays that way like a regular picture. Is it possible to have animated gifs "move" on this phone or is it not supported?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have an XML layout with some custom tabs, a heading, and a ProgressBar(main.xml). I wish to add another XML layout(home.xml) to the main.xml layout, as i wish to keep main.xml re-usable for other activity's layouts and simply add things to it as necessary.The problem: after inflating R.layout.home into rootLayout, it seems as though the ProgressBar contained in rootLayout is hidden underneath the content of home.xml.Is there a way to tell certain views(via XML) to float above other views when the layout is constructed in this way?if not, am i forced to use methods such as progressBar.bringToFront() to raise targeted views to the top?what alternatives do i have in z-ordering views when some layouts are constructed using inflation?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have, for the time being, a custom view with a 9-patch image as a border.
That custom view is placed three times in a LinearLayout, so it looks like this:
+------------------------+
| CustomView |
+------------------------+
| CustomView |
+------------------------+
| CustomView |
+------------------------+
I have attached a click event listener to the View, so it is clickable. But then I click it, I cant see that I am clicking it - there is no change in color.
So, Im thought that I'd attach a "onPress" listener, and then change the background of the view but I couldnt find such a listener.
So, the question is - how do I create the behaviour on the View so I can see that it is being pressed? this is normally done in Android with a green background to indicate that it is now being pressed.
I'm trying to set the background color of a View (in this case a Button).It causes the Button to disappear from the screen.What am I doing wrong, and what is the correct way to change the background color on any View?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a button defined in my XML file. The button works exactly like you would expect...that is until I add the line at the bottom (android:background="drawable/leftarrow1"). Then the button is no longer click able in the activity, but the new background shows up like I want. What gives?
<Button
android:id="@+id/switch_left"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_center Vertical="true"

I was wondering if someone has a good answer to this.I am looking for a better way to animate a background color transition from on color to the next.Currently, I have two views, vCurrentColor which lays on top of the vNextColor, in a FrameLayout. I then animate the alpha of the currentColorView to zero. At the end of the animation I swap the positions of the views and repeat the process.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to restore the background Color of a View. I have several selectable Views. When the user clicks one of those Views, the following code is executed and the View becomes Yellow:
View newSelection, previousSelection;

newSelection.setBackgroundColor(Color.YELLOW);
However, I want to reset the color of the previously selected View. However, I do not know which color it was (I'm setting it to Color.BLACK in the above code). I was not able to find a getBackgroundColor or similar method in the View class. If I had it, I could save the previous color and just put it back when the new View is selected.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to create a listview containing conversations in chat bubbles, and each chat bubbles are rows in the list view. So what I have is an avatar on the left, and a chat bubble on the right. Then in the chat bubble, I have a textview for name, a textview for content, and a textview for time. The problem is, I cannot adjust the height of the chat bubble such that the bottom edge is just below the textview for time. In the chatBubble, I have this line that does not work android:layout_alignBottom="@+id/timeLabel" because timeLabel is a textview created after chatBubble. If I place chatBubble tags right below timeLabel, the height of chatBubble will be just right because lf the layout_alignBottom, but chatBubble covers all the text created before it.
Is there a way I can create the chatBubble last, and bring the view to the background? Or is there a better way to do this?....................
