Alpha animation on recyclerview problem - after fades to zero pops-up back

one more problem.
I am trying to make RecycleView items fade away, so I wrote an XML animation for each item, then a layer animation XML and added code in Java main activity. Everything works ok, views disappear, but the problem is, after they all disappear, they all of a sudden appear back again on their own! What can be the reason? How to keep alpha 0?
Codes:
Main activity method:
private void layoutDisappear(final RecyclerView recyclerView) {
if(recyclerView.isAnimating()){
return;
}
final Context context = recyclerView.getContext();
final LayoutAnimationController controller =
AnimationUtils.loadLayoutAnimation(context, R.anim.layout_recycleview_disappear);
recyclerView.setLayoutAnimation(controller);
recyclerView.setLayoutAnimationListener(new Animation.AnimationListener() {
public void onAnimationStart(Animation animation) {}
public void onAnimationRepeat(Animation animation) {}
public void onAnimationEnd(Animation animation) {
}
});
recyclerView.scheduleLayoutAnimation();
Item animation XML:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<set xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:duration="1400">
<alpha
android:fromAlpha="1"
android:interpolator="#android:anim/decelerate_interpolator"
android:toAlpha="0" />
<scale
android:fromXScale="100%"
android:fromYScale="100%"
android:interpolator="#android:anim/decelerate_interpolator"
android:pivotX="50%"
android:pivotY="50%"
android:toXScale="102%"
android:toYScale="102%" />
</set>
Layer XML:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layoutAnimation xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:animation="#anim/item_recycleview_disappear"
android:animationOrder="reverse"
android:delay="7%" />

You need add android:fillAfter="true" property to Item animation XML to keep animation changes.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<set xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:fillAfter="true"
android:duration="1400">
...
</set>

Drop-down animation

I am trying to create a drop-down animation. When the user taps on a specified button #+id/btnToHideView, I would like a view #+id/relativeLayoutControls to drop down/slide up (VISIBLE / GONE).
Here is how the layout file looks:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<Button
android:id="#+id/btnToHideView"
android:layout_width="25dp"
android:layout_height="25dp"
android:layout_marginLeft="5dp"
android:layout_marginStart="5dp"
android:layout_marginTop="5dp"
android:background="#drawable/hide_btn"
/>
<RelativeLayout
android:id="#+id/relativeLayoutControls"
android:layout_width="60dp"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_marginRight="6dp"
android:layout_marginEnd="6dp"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:layout_alignParentEnd="true">
//I have buttons in this layoout
</RelativeLayout>
</LinearLayout>
and this is what I have tried:
I created 2 animation files in res/anim
slide_down.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<set xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
<translate
android:duration="1000"
android:fromYDelta="0"
android:toYDelta="100%" />
</set>
slide_up.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<set xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
<translate
android:duration="1000"
android:fromYDelta="100%"
android:toYDelta="0" />
</set>
Then I tried handling this by doing:
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
controlsHide = (RelativeLayout) findViewById(R.id.relativeLayoutControls);
final Animation slide_down = AnimationUtils.loadAnimation(getApplicationContext(),
R.anim.slide_down);
final Animation slide_up = AnimationUtils.loadAnimation(getApplicationContext(),
R.anim.slide_up);
btnToHideView = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btnToHideView);
btnToHideView.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View view) {
//I just did slide_up to test if its working
controlsHide.startAnimation(slide_up);
}
});
I followed this post, but when I tap on the button nothing happens. In logcat, it only prints ACTION_DOWN.

Please try this:
SlideUp:
Animation slideUp = AnimationUtils.loadAnimation(activity, R.anim.slide_up);
view.startAnimation(slideUp);
slide_up.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<set xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
<translate
android:duration="500"
android:fromYDelta="100%"
android:toYDelta="0" />
</set>
or
view.animate().translationY(0);
Dropdown:
view.animate().translationY(view.getHeight());

Here is my source code implementation (refer here), You can use them
// Initially hide/show the content view.
redLayout = mView.findViewById(R.id.history_operation);
//Load animation
slide_down = AnimationUtils.loadAnimation(getActivity(), R.anim.slide_down);
slide_up = AnimationUtils.loadAnimation(getActivity(), R.anim.slide_up);
Create an animation xml for slide down and up. You can feel free to set the duration for the animation if you like. Here I set 500 milli:
<translate
android:duration="500"
android:fromYDelta="-100%"
android:toYDelta="0" />
and
<translate
android:duration="500"
android:fromYDelta="0"
android:toYDelta="-100%" />
Implementing the animation in the source code:
slide_up.setAnimationListener(new Animation.AnimationListener() {
#Override
public void onAnimationStart(Animation animation) {
}
#Override
public void onAnimationEnd(Animation animation) {
//When the animation was finished, set gone to the view
redLayout.setVisibility(View.GONE);
}
#Override
public void onAnimationRepeat(Animation animation) {
}
});
slide_down.setAnimationListener(new Animation.AnimationListener() {
#Override
public void onAnimationStart(Animation animation) {
//When the animation start, set visible to the view
redLayout.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
}
#Override
public void onAnimationEnd(Animation animation) {
}
#Override
public void onAnimationRepeat(Animation animation) {
}
});
Finally, calling the toggle function to start the defined animations
private void toggle1() {
// Start animation
if(isFadeOut){
redLayout.startAnimation(slide_down);
}else {
redLayout.startAnimation(slide_up);
}
isFadeOut = !isFadeOut;
}

Usually I don't like to use dependencies to keep app light as much as possible. But Animation library has fun various animations:
Java:
Import render animations
import render.animations.*;
Start animation
// Declare yourlayout
yourlayout AppleText = findViewById(R.id.yourlayout);
// Create Render Class
Render render = new Render(MainActivity.this);
// Set Animation
render.setAnimation(Attention.Wobble(AppleText));
render.start();
Kotlin:
Import render animations
import render.animations.*
Start animation
// Declare yourlayout
val yourlayout: View = findViewById(R.id.layout_tag)
// Create Render Class
val render = Render(this)
// Set Animation
render.setAnimation(Bounce().InDown(yourlayout))
render.start()
Bonuse().InUp(yourview) and try Bonuse().InDown(yourview)
Slide().InUp(yourview) and try Slide().InDown(yourlayout)

TextView still getting clicked though animated to hide

I'm having a TextView which is animated to slide out on click. Now when I again click the area where TextView was layout the click event is still getting fired as if TextView is still there. I want the TextView to behave as if it's not there once hidden through animation.
Following are my animation files.
res/anim/slide_out.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<set xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:fillAfter="true" >
<scale
android:duration="500"
android:fromXScale="1.0"
android:fromYScale="1.0"
android:interpolator="#android:anim/linear_interpolator"
android:toXScale="1.0"
android:toYScale="0.0" />
</set>
res/anim/slide_in.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<set xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:fillAfter="true">
<scale
android:duration="500"
android:fromXScale="1.0"
android:fromYScale="0.0"
android:interpolator="#android:anim/linear_interpolator"
android:toXScale="1.0"
android:toYScale="1.0" />
</set>
Following is my layout xml.
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
tools:context=".MainActivity" >
<TextView
android:id="#+id/anim_tv"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="50dp"
android:text="#string/hello_world"
android:gravity="center"
android:background="#8800ff00"/>
</RelativeLayout>
And following is Activity code.
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
TextView animTV;
Animation animSlideIn;
Animation animSlideOut;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
animTV = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.anim_tv);
animTV.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View arg0) {
hide();
}
});
// load the animation
animSlideIn = AnimationUtils.loadAnimation(this, R.anim.slide_in);
animSlideOut = AnimationUtils.loadAnimation(this, R.anim.slide_out);
show();
}
private void show() {
animTV.startAnimation(animSlideIn);
}
private void hide() {
animTV.startAnimation(animSlideOut);
}
}
Can anybody suggest a solution to this issue?
Thanks,
Ammar

you can implements Animation.AnimationListener, and when onAnimationEnd is called you can change the TextView's visibility to gone

According to #blackbelt suggestion I did following update in Activity.
animSlideOut.setAnimationListener(new Animation.AnimationListener() {
#Override
public void onAnimationStart(Animation animation) { }
#Override
public void onAnimationEnd(Animation animation) {
animTV.setVisibility( View.GONE );
}
#Override
public void onAnimationRepeat(Animation animation) { }
});
#blackbelt solution was partially helpful. To make it fully working I had to updated the slide_out.xml to set the android:fillAfter attribute to false.

Animation From top to Button

I'm trying to make a animation from the top to the button.
If I click on a button, he should show a View from top. And if I'm clicking again, he should animate it back to the top. This is, what i have:
MainActivity:
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
Button btFilterDown = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btFilterDown);
Button btFilterUp = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btFilterUp);
final View layout = findViewById(R.id.slide);
layout.setVisibility(View.GONE);
btFilterUp.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
hideView(layout);
}
});
btFilterDown.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
showView(layout);
}
});
}
private void hideView(final View view){
Animation animation = AnimationUtils.loadAnimation(this, R.layout.slide_out_up);
animation.setAnimationListener(new AnimationListener() {
#Override
public void onAnimationStart(Animation animation) {}
#Override
public void onAnimationRepeat(Animation animation) {}
#Override
public void onAnimationEnd(Animation animation) {
view.setVisibility(View.GONE);
}
});
view.startAnimation(animation);
}
private void showView(final View view){
Animation animation = AnimationUtils.loadAnimation(this, R.layout.slide_in_down);
animation.setAnimationListener(new AnimationListener() {
#Override
public void onAnimationStart(Animation animation) {}
#Override
public void onAnimationRepeat(Animation animation) {}
#Override
public void onAnimationEnd(Animation animation) {
view.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
}
});
view.startAnimation(animation);
}
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
// Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main, menu);
return true;
}
}
Slide_in_down.xml:
<translate
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:fromXDelta="0"
android:fromYDelta="-1000"
android:duration="#android:integer/config_longAnimTime" />
Slide_out_up.xml:
<translate
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:toXDelta="0"
android:toYDelta="-1000"
android:duration="#android:integer/config_longAnimTime" />
And my main.xml:
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="60dp"
android:background="#android:color/darker_gray" >
</LinearLayout>
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:background="#android:color/white" >
<Button
android:id="#+id/btFilterDown"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:text="FILTER!!!"/>
</LinearLayout>
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/slide"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:background="#99009900"
android:orientation="vertical">
<Button
android:id="#+id/btFilterUp"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:text=" NO FILTER!!!"/>
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>
So now I have 2 problems:
First:
The button of my first layout is not visible anymore, if the second layout is over it. I want to make the view, which animated in, transparency. But it looks very bad, if the objects from the first view away.
How can I lay the animated layout over the first, so that all objects on the first layout are visible?
Second:
The animation should start at the bottom of the Actionbar. I mean, if the layout is coming in, that he starts on bottom edge and not on the top of the screen.
How can I set the start point of the animation?
Thanks a lot :)

Your animation must have 4 xml's like slide_down_in, slide_down_out, slide_up_in, slide_up_out, and use percentage like
slide_down_in
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<set xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<translate
android:fromYDelta="-100%"
android:toYDelta="0%"
android:duration="500" />
</set>
slide_down_out
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<set xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<translate
android:fromYDelta="0%"
android:toYDelta="100%"
android:duration="500" />
</set>
slide_up_in
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<set xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<translate
android:fromYDelta="100%"
android:toYDelta="0%"
android:duration="500" />
</set>
slide_up_out
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<set xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<translate
android:fromYDelta="0%"
android:toYDelta="-100%"
android:duration="500" />
</set>

Its Working
Intent i = new Intent(getActivity(), FeedbackSuccessActivity.class);
i.putExtra("title", "Success!");
i.putExtra("message", "\n Profile Update Successfully \n ");
startActivity(i);
overridePendingTransition(R.anim.slide_down_in, R.anim.slide_down_out);
slide_down_in
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<set xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<translate
android:fromYDelta="-100%"
android:toYDelta="0%"
android:duration="500" />
</set>
slide_down_out
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<set xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<translate
android:fromYDelta="0%"
android:toYDelta="100%"
android:duration="500" />
</set>

Moving an image through a linearlayout

I'm developing an Android 2.2 application.
I want to move an image from left side of the screen to the right side of the screen.
How can I do that? I've read that I have to add this image to a ListView or to a GridView to setup this animation.
UPDATE
I've created the following files:
anim/translate_right
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<set xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:interpolator="#android:anim/accelerate_decelerate_interpolator">
<translate
android:fromXDelta="-100%p"
android:toXDelta="0"
android:duration="5000" />
</set>
anim/ship_layout_controller
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layoutAnimation xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:delay="10%"
android:animationOrder="reverse"
android:animation="#anim/translate_right" />
layout/startpage
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:orientation="vertical">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/appNameTextView"
android:text="#string/app_name"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:layout_marginTop="40px"/>
<Button
android:id="#+id/PlayButton"
android:text="#string/play"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:layout_marginTop="40px"/>
<AbsoluteLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/greekShip"
android:persistentDrawingCache="animation|scrolling"
android:layoutAnimation="#anim/ship_layout_controller"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:src="#drawable/greekship"
android:maxWidth="176px"
android:maxHeight="87px"
android:layout_x="-300px"/>
</AbsoluteLayout>
</LinearLayout>
StartActivity.java
public class StartActivity extends Activity {
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.startpage);
}
#Override
protected void onResume() {
super.onResume();
ImageView ship = (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.greekShip);
ship.startAnimation(AnimationUtils.loadAnimation(this, R.anim.translate_right));
}
}
But it doesn't work.

Please take a look at the Animation class, specifically the Tween Animation, more specifically the Translate element. Create an animation file in your project then apply this animation to your image. For example, this animation would move an object from the center of the screen to the right side.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<translate
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:toXDelta="100%p"
android:fromXDelta="0%"
android:duration="300"
android:fillEnabled="true"
android:fillAfter="true">
</translate>
EDIT: To apply this animation to a Button, a TextView, an ImageView, etc.
ImageView imageView = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.myImageView);
Animation exitAnimation = AnimationUtils.loadAnimation(this, R.anim.exit_animation);
imageView.startAnimation(exitAnimation);

you have to use Translate Animation. For example, this animation would move an image from Left side of the screen to the right side of the screen.
The AnimationActivity is
listener = new AnimationListener() {
#Override
public void onAnimationStart(Animation animation) {}
#Override
public void onAnimationRepeat(Animation animation) {}
#Override
public void onAnimationEnd(Animation animation) {
System.out.println("End Animation!");
//load_animations();
}
};
}
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
if (v==button)
{
moveLefttoRight = new TranslateAnimation(0, 200, 0, 0);
moveLefttoRight.setDuration(1000);
moveLefttoRight.setFillAfter(true);
my_image.startAnimation(moveLefttoRight);
}
}
}
xml code is
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
tools:context=".MainActivity" >
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/diceid"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#drawable/dice"/>
</LinearLayout>
and anim file is
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<rotate
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:fromDegrees="0"
android:toDegrees="360"
android:pivotX="50%"
android:pivotY="50%"
android:duration="2000"
android:repeatMode="reverse"
android:repeatCount="infinite"
android:startOffset="0"
/>
may be this is the answer what you are searching.

I would check your source again. Maybe it's out of context. But the easiest way to do this is to use a Translate animation that originates from the Image's starting place and translates it to the other side of the screen. After that is done I usually register an animation callback so that I can update the true position of the image after the animation is over. hope that helps.

Or is it the Gallery that you are looking for?
