View Animations in Android Collapse/Expand Views in LinearLayout

I added Images view dynamically to my Linear layout,
I want to achieve
Here is sample code what I have done
MainActivity
package ksp.com.animationssample;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.animation.AccelerateInterpolator;
import android.view.animation.Animation;
import android.view.animation.TranslateAnimation;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.ImageView;
import android.widget.LinearLayout;
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
private Button btn_expand;
private Button btn_collapse;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
btn_expand = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btn_expand);
btn_collapse = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btn_collapse);
LinearLayout.LayoutParams vp = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(LinearLayout.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
final LinearLayout layout = (LinearLayout) findViewById(R.id.imageLayout);
for (int i = 0; i < 3; i++) {
final ImageView image = new ImageView(MainActivity.this);
image.setLayoutParams(vp);
if (i == 0)
image.setImageDrawable(getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.item_image1));
else image.setImageDrawable(getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.item_image2));
if (i == 2)
image.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
else
image.setVisibility(View.GONE);
layout.addView(image);
}
btn_expand.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
expandOrCollapse(layout.getChildAt(2), true, layout.getChildAt(0).getHeight() + layout.getChildAt(1).getHeight());
expandOrCollapse(layout.getChildAt(1), true, layout.getChildAt(0).getHeight());
expandOrCollapse(layout.getChildAt(0), true, 0);
}
});
btn_collapse.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
expandOrCollapse(layout.getChildAt(0), false, 0);
expandOrCollapse(layout.getChildAt(1), false, layout.getChildAt(0).getHeight());
expandOrCollapse(layout.getChildAt(2), false, layout.getChildAt(0).getHeight() + layout.getChildAt(1).getHeight());
}
});
}
public void expandOrCollapse(final View v, boolean is_expand, final int animheight) {
TranslateAnimation anim = null;
if (is_expand) {
anim = new TranslateAnimation(0.0f, 0.0f, -animheight, 0.0f);
v.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
Animation.AnimationListener expandedlistener = new Animation.AnimationListener() {
#Override
public void onAnimationStart(Animation animation) {
}
#Override
public void onAnimationRepeat(Animation animation) {
}
#Override
public void onAnimationEnd(Animation animation) {
}
};
anim.setAnimationListener(expandedlistener);
} else {
anim = new TranslateAnimation(0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, -animheight);
Animation.AnimationListener collapselistener = new Animation.AnimationListener() {
#Override
public void onAnimationStart(Animation animation) {
}
#Override
public void onAnimationRepeat(Animation animation) {
}
#Override
public void onAnimationEnd(Animation animation) {
v.setVisibility(View.GONE);
}
};
anim.setAnimationListener(collapselistener);
}
anim.setDuration(1500);
anim.setInterpolator(new AccelerateInterpolator(0.5f));
v.startAnimation(anim);
}
}

when I click expand button at the first time is not showing the animation from the second time it's working.
enable Visible the item after click on collapse button.
What to do next :
When I selected any View item it has to show select animation then collapse animation, after collapse it has to appear as top View like I mention in Image above. Currently I am hard code the count of the views and wrote static animations for each view with static heights of animations i.e (expandOrCollapse(view, height_of_view))
I search a while for this, but no luck.
I follow the Vie expand/collapse and smooth expand / collapse but they can't help me expand all views in Linear layout.
Can we do this List views are recycler view or something ?
for time saving I have added my sample to git hub you can try it Animation Sample Github
Suggest me, please.

I have made separate class for it. Check if it works for you:
public class DropDownAnim extends Animation {
private final int sourceHeight;
private final int targetHeight;
private final View view;
private final boolean down;
public DropDownAnim(View view, int sourceHeight, int targetHeight, boolean down) {
this.view = view;
this.sourceHeight = sourceHeight;
this.targetHeight = targetHeight;
this.down = down;
}
#Override
protected void applyTransformation(float interpolatedTime, Transformation t) {
int newHeight;
if (down) {
newHeight = sourceHeight + (int) (targetHeight * interpolatedTime);
} else {
newHeight = sourceHeight + targetHeight - (int) (targetHeight * interpolatedTime);//(int) (targetHeight * (1 - interpolatedTime));
}
view.getLayoutParams().height = newHeight;
view.requestLayout();
view.setVisibility(down ? View.VISIBLE : View.GONE);
}
#Override
public void initialize(int width, int height, int parentWidth,
int parentHeight) {
super.initialize(width, height, parentWidth, parentHeight);
}
#Override
public boolean willChangeBounds() {
return true;
}
}
While working with this. For expand
public void expand(final View v) {
final int sourceHeight = v.getLayoutParams().height;
final int targetHeight = getResources().getDimensionPixelSize(R.dimen.notification_height);//v.getMeasuredHeight();
DropDownAnim a = new DropDownAnim(v,targetHeight,true);
a.setDuration((int) (targetHeight / v.getContext().getResources().getDisplayMetrics().density));
a.setAnimationListener(new Animation.AnimationListener() {
#Override
public void onAnimationStart(Animation animation) {
}
#Override
public void onAnimationEnd(Animation animation) {
// Your code on end of animation
}
#Override
public void onAnimationRepeat(Animation animation) {
}
});
v.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);
v.startAnimation(a);
}
For collapse:
public void collapse(final View v) {
final int sourceHeight = v.getLayoutParams().height;
final int targetHeight = v.getMeasuredHeight();
DropDownAnim a = new DropDownAnim(v, targetHeight, false);
a.setDuration((int) (targetHeight / v.getContext().getResources().getDisplayMetrics().density));
a.setAnimationListener(new Animation.AnimationListener() {
#Override
public void onAnimationStart(Animation animation) {
}
#Override
public void onAnimationEnd(Animation animation) {
// Your code on end of animation
}
#Override
public void onAnimationRepeat(Animation animation) {
}
});
v.startAnimation(a);
}
Update:
sourceHeight added to prevent view blinking.

Try to not hide your target view (now you set visibility GONE for all views after collapsed animation end) and do this:
targetView.bringToFront();
targetView.invalidate();
targetView.getParent().requestLayout();

Android expand animation on Button click

I try to make some tests with UX and animation. I want at a click on a button to expand it until the button has the size of his parent layout. Here is my very simple interface :
I succeed to create my own animation, it's just a simple class that takes the begin X, the end X, the begin Y and the end Y. Here is the class :
import android.view.View;
import android.view.animation.Animation;
import android.view.animation.Transformation;
public class ExpandAnimation extends Animation {
protected final View view;
protected float perValueH, perValueW;
protected final int originalHeight, originalWidth;
public ExpandAnimation(View view, int fromHeight, int toHeight, int fromWidth, int toWidth) {
this.view = view;
this.originalHeight = fromHeight;
this.originalWidth = fromWidth;
this.perValueH = (toHeight - fromHeight);
this.perValueW = (toWidth - fromWidth);
}
#Override
protected void applyTransformation(float interpolatedTime, Transformation t) {
view.getLayoutParams().height = (int) (originalHeight + perValueH * interpolatedTime);
view.getLayoutParams().width = (int) (originalWidth + (perValueW * interpolatedTime)*2);
view.requestLayout();
}
#Override
public boolean willChangeBounds() {
return true;
}
}
The animation is pretty good and works as expected :
Here is my main loop :
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup;
import android.widget.Button;
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
private Button left;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
left = (Button) findViewById(R.id.left);
left.setLayerType(View.LAYER_TYPE_SOFTWARE, null);
left.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View view) {
ViewGroup parent = (ViewGroup) view.getParent();
ExpandAnimation animation = new ExpandAnimation(view, view.getBottom(), parent.getTop(), view.getLeft(), parent.getRight());
animation.setDuration(3000);
animation.setFillAfter(true);
view.startAnimation(animation);
}
});
}
}
But I have 3 major issues :
First, the text is gone and I don't know why...
On the other hand, I want that my animation come over others views, but when I tried it wasn't working how can I achieve this ?
And last but not least, at the end of my animation, the button is gone and there is just an ugly artefact... How can I avoid that ?
Edit : my layout :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<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">
<LinearLayout
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="150dp"
android:weightSum="3"
android:padding="15dp"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:gravity="bottom">
<Button
android:id="#+id/left"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:text="Retenter"
android:textSize="15dp"
android:textColor="#FFF"
android:background="#FF33CC44" />
</LinearLayout>
</RelativeLayout>
Edit2 : The artefact which appears at the end of the animation is due to the method setLayerType(View.LAYER_TYPE_SOFTWARE, null).

#Override
protected void applyTransformation(float interpolatedTime, Transformation t) {
view.getLayoutParams().height = (int) (originalHeight + perValueH * interpolatedTime);
view.getLayoutParams().width = (int) (originalWidth + (perValueW * interpolatedTime));
view.requestLayout();
}
remove *2 will result below.

Custom view is being displayed as nested views in Component Tree

I have created custom view which extends FrameLayout. After adding it into RelativeLayout it's being displayed as two nested views:
Is it normal? It sometimes messes up with wrap_content flags but I couldn't figure out why. When I use View as a base class everything looks normal.

even i was facing the same issue, it appears that new version of android studio comes up with two files content_main.xml and activity_mail.xml , when we select Activity_main.xml>Design view everything appears 'Custom View' , instead when we highlight content_main.xml>Design, everything is bac to normal. I dont know why it happens but that;s how i fix mine ( android nooob here )

android pre honeycomb animation of layout

I am trying to animate a layout to hide itself (to later animate other layout to take its place also by animation). Must be SDK 8 (android 2.2) compatible.
What I have works great IF the movingLayout's parent (parent_of_moving_layout in my xml) is twice the movingLayout's height, but I want the parent to be the same height so the movingLayout hides itself below so that I can animate another movingLayout2 later to take its place.
I have been working on it for some long hours and I can't find a solution, hoping someone has an idea (tried setFillAfter and setFillEnabled).
Here is my code and xml to reproduce the result:
activity_my.xml
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"

android:layout_centerHorizontal="true" />
<RelativeLayout

} else {
direction = "down";
params.topMargin = params.topMargin - 50;
}
movingLayout.setLayoutParams(params);
}
};
}

After a few more hours of trials, I found an easy and clean solution (it was really just sooo simple, animate down then set View.GONE and to bring it back, set View.VISIBLE before animating up)! Added a scale for DP and finally made the difference between margin and translation.
Here is an updated java file:
package coersum.com.testanimation;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.util.Log;
import android.view.View;

//layout to move and its LayoutParams (relative seems to be the only one that worked on my tests)
RelativeLayout movingLayout;
RelativeLayout.LayoutParams params;
//used to direction of movement for testing
String direction = "down";
//just a counter to see the Log.d changes more clearly
int count = 0;
int convertedSize;
float scale;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_my);
scale = getResources().getDisplayMetrics().density;
convertedSize = (int) (50 * scale + 0.5f); // my layout is 50dp in height set it to (minus)-your_size to go up instead of down
mButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button);
mButton.setOnClickListener(mButtonClickListener);
testButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.testbutton);
testButton.setOnClickListener(testButtonClickListener);
movingLayout = (RelativeLayout) findViewById(R.id.movinglayout);
params = (RelativeLayout.LayoutParams) movingLayout.getLayoutParams();
}
private View.OnClickListener mButtonClickListener = new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
TranslateAnimation animation;
if (direction.equals("down")) {
animation = new TranslateAnimation(0, 0, 0, convertedSize);
} else {
movingLayout.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE); // show the layout before to animate it
animation = new TranslateAnimation(0, 0, convertedSize, 0);
}
animation.setDuration(500);
animation.setAnimationListener(mAnimationListener);
movingLayout.startAnimation(animation);
}
};
private View.OnClickListener testButtonClickListener = new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
count++; // just for debugging (to make sure the button was gone and not just its display)
Log.d("Status", "Clicked on Test Button " + count + " Dir: " + direction + " Size: " + convertedSize);
}
};
private Animation.AnimationListener mAnimationListener = new Animation.AnimationListener() {
#Override
public void onAnimationStart(Animation animation) {
}
#Override
public void onAnimationRepeat(Animation animation) {
}
#Override
public void onAnimationEnd(Animation animation) {
if (direction.equals("down")) {
movingLayout.setVisibility(View.GONE); // once it translated down, remove it so I'll be free to set other layout to visible to use etc
direction = "up";
} else {
direction = "down";
}
movingLayout.setLayoutParams(params);
movingLayout.clearAnimation();
}
};
public void testClick(View view) {
}
}
The setting of margin is good if you want to just move the layout inside the screen (and actually move the objects and not just their "display" which is what animations do below Honeycomb sdk, but that wasn't my case so this, so far seems to work perfectly.

Fading arrows on imageswitcher

I'm creating an application that uses an ImageSwitcher to show some images. I want to show arrows on either side of the screen in addition to a button on the bottom whenever a user has touched the screen or switched images. Just like you'll see when viewing screenshots for an application in Android Market.
So far I've had my activity implement OnGestureListener, and I've created an AsyncTask that fades in, sleeps for 1 seconds then fades out again whenever the ACTION_UP event is triggered. The problem is that I want to remove an arrow if the user flings to another image. There's three images.
Here's an exerpt of my code.
#Override
public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent event) {
if (event.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_UP) {
new FadeInOutButtons().execute();
}
return mGesture.onTouchEvent(event);
}
private void fadeOutAll() {
Animation fadeOut = AnimationUtils.loadAnimation(
MyActivity.this, android.R.anim.fade_out);
mButtonHolder.startAnimation(fadeOut);
mButtonHolder.setVisibility(View.GONE);
if (mRightArrow.getVisibility() == View.VISIBLE) {
mRightArrow.startAnimation(fadeOut);
mRightArrow.setVisibility(View.GONE);
}
if (mLeftArrow.getVisibility() == View.VISIBLE) {
mLeftArrow.startAnimation(fadeOut);
mLeftArrow.setVisibility(View.GONE);
}
}
private class FadeInOutButtons extends AsyncTask<Void, Void, Void> {
#Override
protected Void doInBackground(Void... params) {
try {
Thread.sleep(1000);
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
}
return null;
}
#Override
protected void onPostExecute(Void result) {
fadeOutAll();
super.onPostExecute(result);
}
#Override
protected void onPreExecute() {
Animation fadeIn = AnimationUtils.loadAnimation(
MyActivity.this, android.R.anim.fade_in);
mButtonHolder.startAnimation(fadeIn);
mButtonHolder.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
final int sz = mImages.size();
if (sz > 1) {
if (mPosition < sz - 1) {
mRightArrow.startAnimation(fadeIn);
mRightArrow.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
}
if (mPosition > 0) {
mLeftArrow.startAnimation(fadeIn);
mLeftArrow.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
}
}
super.onPreExecute();
}
}
#Override
public boolean onFling(MotionEvent e1, MotionEvent e2, float velocityX,
float velocityY) {
final int sz = mImages.size();
if (sz > 1) {
if (velocityX < 0 && mPosition < sz - 1) {
mInactive = mActive;
mActive = (ImageView) mSwitcher.getNextView();
mActive.setImageResource(mImages.get(++mPosition));
mSwitcher.showNext();
} else if (velocityX > 0 && mPosition > 0) {
mInactive = mActive;
mActive = (ImageView) mSwitcher.getNextView();
mActive.setImageResource(mImages.get(--mPosition));
mSwitcher.showPrevious();
}
}
mInactive.setImageURI(null);
return true;
}
Have any of you done anything like this before? How can I make only the left arrow disappear when the third image is focused, and only the right one when the first is... And so on... ? I've been stuck on this for an hour.
Thanks!
Sorry about the formatting.

Firstly, don't use an AsyncTask if you're not actually doing any background work (sleeping doesn't count as work!). Use a Handler attached to the UI thread and postDelayed() to it.
WORKING EXAMPLE OF FADING VIEWS IN AND OUT
Firstly, your layout main.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
>
<ImageSwitcher
android:id="#+id/imageSwitcher"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
/>
<Button android:id="#+id/prev"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:text="Previous"
/>
<Button android:id="#+id/next"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:text="Next"
/>
</RelativeLayout>
Yes I'm using buttons rather than imageviews, just to keep the example simple.
Now the fade in and fade out animations:
fade_in.xml:
fade_out.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<alpha xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:interpolator="#android:anim/accelerate_interpolator"
android:fromAlpha="1.0"
android:toAlpha="0.0"
android:duration="500"
android:fillAfter="true"/>
Finally, some actual code for your main activity:
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.os.Handler;
import android.view.MotionEvent;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.View.OnTouchListener;
import android.view.animation.Animation;
import android.view.animation.Animation.AnimationListener;
import android.view.animation.AnimationUtils;
import android.widget.ImageSwitcher;
import android.widget.ImageView;
import android.widget.ViewSwitcher.ViewFactory;
public class MainActivity extends Activity implements ViewFactory, OnTouchListener {
ImageSwitcher imageSwitcher;
View prev,next;
Handler handler = new Handler();
static final int[] images = {
R.drawable.pic1,
R.drawable.pic2,
R.drawable.pic3
};
int currentImageIndex = 0;
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
imageSwitcher = (ImageSwitcher)findViewById(R.id.imageSwitcher);
imageSwitcher.setFactory(this);
imageSwitcher.setOnTouchListener(this);
prev = findViewById(R.id.prev);
next = findViewById(R.id.next);
setCurrentImage();
scheduleHideButtons();
}
private void setCurrentImage() {
imageSwitcher.setImageResource(images[currentImageIndex]);
}
private void scheduleHideButtons() {
handler.removeCallbacks(hideButtonsRunnable);
handler.postDelayed(hideButtonsRunnable, 3000);
}
private Runnable hideButtonsRunnable = new Runnable() {
#Override public void run() {
fadeButtons(false);
}
};
private void fadeButtons(final boolean fadeIn) {
if (fadeIn) {
scheduleHideButtons();
}
Animation anim = AnimationUtils.loadAnimation(this, fadeIn?R.anim.fade_in:R.anim.fade_out);
prev.startAnimation(anim);
next.startAnimation(anim);
anim.setAnimationListener(new AnimationListener() {
#Override
public void onAnimationEnd(Animation animation) {
prev.setVisibility(fadeIn?View.VISIBLE:View.GONE);
next.setVisibility(fadeIn?View.VISIBLE:View.GONE);
}
#Override public void onAnimationRepeat(Animation animation) { }
#Override public void onAnimationStart(Animation animation) { }
});
}
#Override
public View makeView() {
ImageView imageView = new ImageView(this);
imageView.setBackgroundColor(0xFF000000);
imageView.setScaleType(ImageView.ScaleType.FIT_CENTER);
imageView.setLayoutParams(new ImageSwitcher.LayoutParams(
ImageSwitcher.LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT,
ImageSwitcher.LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT));
return imageView;
}
#Override
public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
if (event.getAction()==MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN) {
if (prev.getVisibility()==View.GONE) {
fadeButtons(true);
}
else {
scheduleHideButtons();
}
}
return false;
}
}
