FAB transparent layer does not block the parent layer

I have a problem using Clans FloatingActionButton. I need to add a transparent layer that blocks the parent layer. The effect that I need is similar to Google Inbox.
So in my example I have this sequence:
1) Click item 3
2) Click on fab
3) When I click over transparent layer, the item from ListView is clicked.
I try to block the click event transparent layer using:
final FloatingActionMenu menu1 = (FloatingActionMenu) findViewById(R.id.menu1);
menu1.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
menu1.close(true);
}
});
So with this code, when I click transparent layer the fab menu is closed (this is ok), but the same click listener blocking the click event over listView.
I have tried different ways to solve this problem but the only way I found was to resize the background programmatically . This is not a good solution because the effect is not good.
In a few hours I'll upload a demo and source code to github , but even as hope someone can help me with some idea. Thank You
EDITED

I have download your project from Github and tried the code myself and have solved the issue.
It is working perfectly for me as demonstrated in the Inbox by Google app. You just need to change a very small portion of your code.
menu1.setOnMenuToggleListener(new FloatingActionMenu.OnMenuToggleListener() {
#Override
public void onMenuToggle(boolean opened) {
if (opened) {
menu1.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
menu1.close(true);
menu1.setClickable(false);
}
});
} else {
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Close", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
}
});
Hope I could help you.

Can we embed button inside the min3d screen?

Is it possible to insert a button at the bottom of a working 3d animation done with Min3d framework in android. I do have a working 3d model car which is rotating. I want to put a button at the bottom of this working animation screen. Is it possible since i am not using any layout.Please explain me with an example so that i can replicate the same with my program.

Yes. Rather, the procedure is to rather add the min3d framework to the layout, using glSurfaceView. The following cocde highlights how to achieve the same, assuming you have the other basics (such as loading the object ) covered. If not, links for the same is provided at the end of this brief.
//import statements
public class threedviewActivity extends RendererActivity implements View.OnClickListener,View.OnTouchListener{
//onClick and onTouch in case you want to recognize both touch and click on the button
//initialize the variables you require
#Override
public void onCreateSetContentView() {
setContentView(R.layout.activity_example);
RelativeLayout R1 = (RelativeLayout)this.findViewById(R.id.SceneHolder);
R1.addView(_glSurfaceView); //adding the min3d view into the layout
Button example_1 = (Button)this.findViewById(R.id.example_1);
Button example_2 = (Button)this.findViewById(R.id.example_2);
example_1.setOnTouchListener(this);
example_2.setOnClickListener(this);
}
public boolean onTouch(View $v, MotionEvent event) {
switch($v.getId())
{
case R.id.example_1:
//Your actions and things to do
case R.id.example_2:
//your code
}
}
public void onClick(View $v)
{
//similar to above
}
public void initScene()
{
//initialize object and other activities related to the 3d container
}
#Override
public void updateScene()
{
//update effects such as rotation on the object here, based on the button click or touch, etc.
}
}
And the xml file containing the layout/activity should look something like this :
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
>
<Button
//your data
android:id="#+id/example_1"
/>
<Button
//your data
android:id="#+id/example_2"
/>
<RelativeLayout
//nested layout which will hold the 3d container
android:id="#+id/SceneHolder">
</RelativeLayout>
</RelativeLayout>
for understanding more about working in initScene() function, you can refer here and here.
You can also add extra effects, by playing around with the lighting properties, as stated here
The basic example for adding into the layout was taken from here . The same page also provides links to many examples in case you want to work with in future.

Scratch image in android?

I want to show image only when user scratch on that, image will be overlay with colors. So when user scratch on it they can see the image. I will finished that part by using this link.
But what i need is while user scratch on that image, progress bar want to show the current progress. if user scratches all the portion of image progress bar should finish 100%.

If you use Android-WScratchView library, you can register OnScratchCallback and assign the percentage of cleared part to your progressbar
scratchView.setOnScratchCallback(new WScratchView.OnScratchCallback() {
#Override
public void onScratch(float percentage) {
yourProgressBar.setProgress(percentage);//Assign progressbar value here
}
#Override
public void onDetach(boolean fingerDetach) {
if(mPercentage > 50){
scratchView.setScratchAll(true);
updatePercentage(100);
}
}
});

How to make a page flip like animation when changing between activities?

How can I make a page flip like animation when moving from one activity to other? On some ios applications I saw this, but when I searched for android I could not find any tutorials or code snippets for this.
Please help

Yes it is possible . Please look at this tutorial.
Here's a tutorial on how to add an animation when transistioning between two activities. However, instead of using a translate animation like in the article, you'll want to use a rotate animation.

The flip animation for Activity doesn't exist on Android..sorry!

Here is demo code from sdk:
/**
* <p>Example of using a custom animation when transitioning between activities.</p>
*/
public class Animation extends Activity {
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_animation);
// Watch for button clicks.
Button button = (Button)findViewById(R.id.fade_animation);
button.setOnClickListener(mFadeListener);
button = (Button)findViewById(R.id.zoom_animation);
button.setOnClickListener(mZoomListener);
}
private OnClickListener mFadeListener = new OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v) {
// Request the next activity transition (here starting a new one).
startActivity(new Intent(Animation.this, Controls1.class));
// Supply a custom animation. This one will just fade the new
// activity on top. Note that we need to also supply an animation
// (here just doing nothing for the same amount of time) for the
// old activity to prevent it from going away too soon.
overridePendingTransition(R.anim.fade, R.anim.hold);
}
};
private OnClickListener mZoomListener = new OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v) {
// Request the next activity transition (here starting a new one).
startActivity(new Intent(Animation.this, Controls1.class));
// This is a more complicated animation, involving transformations
// on both this (exit) and the new (enter) activity. Note how for
// the duration of the animation we force the exiting activity
// to be Z-ordered on top (even though it really isn't) to achieve
// the effect we want.
overridePendingTransition(R.anim.zoom_enter, R.anim.zoom_exit);
}
};
}

How can we display progress icon in button

I need to display progress icon in button so that user can interact other GUI elements while background task is processing.
I have searched in Android developer site and found that we can use animated drawables but don't know how to use them. Please advise on the same.

The very simple way to do this without using the animated drawable is to use "PregressBar" component in the design layout xml. When u need to show it, just set it's visibility property to visible and when you need to hide it, u can set it's visibility property to GONE. But remember this is UI task so when u need to do this with non-UI thread, u need to use Handler to set the status of "ProgressBar" component at runtime.
Below id the component in the layout file.
<ProgressBar
android:id="#+id/progressBar1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
</ProgressBar>
Below is the code written in java file
ProgressBar prg;
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main1);
prg=(ProgressBar)findViewById(R.id.ProgressBar1);
prg.setVisibility(ProgressBar.GONE);
}
public void start_background_process()
{
// starting the process
prg.setVisibility(ProgressBar.VISIBLE);
new Thread(new Runnable()
{ public void run()
{
// Do your background stuff here which takes indefinite time
mHandlerUpdateProgress.post(mUpdateUpdateProgress);
}
} ).start();
}
final Handler mHandlerUpdateProgress= new Handler();
final Runnable mUpdateUpdateProgress = new Runnable() {
public void run() {
// ending the process
prg.setVisibility(ProgressBar.GONE);
}
};

If the default progress indicator is good enough for you (i.e. the spinning wheel), then you can just use ProgressBar. To change it from a normal progress bar to a spinning wheel, use progressBar.setIndeterminate(true).
