android imageview bottom to top animation / create imageview programmatically - android

I have got an android app, i want to add at button click one of 10 images (R.raw.geld1-10) animated from before bottom of the activity to after its top.
I tried to get the numbers of pixels and multiply it with Math.random(), but the problem was that i pressed the button and it lagged hard without reason. It seemed that the generation and animation of this was too much for this uithread. Besides it was NOT an avd, it was a modern smartphone (snapdragon).
Please can anyone help me and send me an alternative with no overhead.

That solved it for me, thank you!

Android - creating a simplified spotify-like layout

I am developing an Android app and am a bit stuck on how I go about creating the layout I'm after. I said spotify-like (website not app) as I dont want the parallax effect. It's actually closer to http://www.poormet.com/.
What I have tested so far is a RelativeLayout with an ImageView and Listview (with transparent dividers) within it. This layout shows the image in the background between rows which is a step in the right direction. The issue is I'm at a loss as to how to get the images to change smoothly depending on what listrows are on screen.
Also, if I want to replicate the text over the images like poormet example mentioned above, then it seems to me I am going to have to have alternating transparent and not transparent rows.
Am I on the right track or am I approaching this problem the wrong way?
Any guidance will be greatly appreciated!!!
(also, please let me know if what I have described doesn't make sense - more than happy to clarify)

How to animate the opacity of android gridLayout?

Actually, I got a little problem while building my Android App. I want to create a mini-game in my app. It will works like this:
At the begining an image appears
then the app ask the user to zoom-in the picture
then a grid will appear and seperate the picture into pixels (like the one million pixel wall for example)
the user will have to choose one "pixel" of the grid and he will win (or not) some points.
It seems quite simple but i got some issues:
How can i create this grid? (GridLayout? )
How can i put an invisible Grid (opacity=0) on a picture ? (Grid Layout Option Maybe ? )
How can i use the zoom-in option to be as smooth(natural and simple) as possible?
What should i do in order to turn the Grid opacity to 1 when "the Zoom in" effect has been done ?
I know that some several questions are likely answering to the grid problem but I need some personal advices in order to build my own game. General tips and tricks are welcomed. Explanations will be great.
Thanks in advance.
P.S.: Sorry for my English. It's not really my main language but I hope that I am still understandable.
Actually i've found The GridLayout.setalpha(alpha) Option so i know now how to build a grid and to manipulate his opacity.
I just Need now some informations about how to animate this grid with the zoom-in effect and the Zoom-out effect !

Creating a 9 Patch with repeatining pattern

iam stuck with the creation of a nine patch for a progressbar background.
It has a repeating pattern like a ruler-scala and that given me headache.
here is a image of what i want(at the bottom) and what i have (top).
can someone give me a hint how to acomplish my goal?
edit: or is it generelly possible to do this with a 9patch?
my other attempt was to make a with android:tileMode="repeat" but there i get problems with the height of my image (repeating in the second line), i need something like repeat-x.
Thanks in advance
edit2: ok i managed to do my repeating 9patch by stretching the whole repeating pattern, but its not ideal :(
You seem to be overestimating the power of 9-patches. The most you could do is have a ruler image with expanding space between the ticks. You can't, however, make a 9-patch that automatically tiles parts of your image.
On the other hand, if you create a BitmapDrawable programatically, you can set the tile mode separately for the X and Y axes.
I used to do this in my webview project using border image which provides both options (repeat, stretch, fill).
As webview has kind of it's own problems in android (mostly fixed element) I decided to be more android for the next project and I found out that it's not possible to have the repeated border using 9Patch. It's so awkward as it's needy but not implemented.
In a word android development area makes me crazy, one option here one option there is a usual thing here.

Android: Smooth fade animation

I'm attempting to fade between two background images on my Droid, but the animation seems to get 5fps if not less. Is there any method I can use other than fading in\out a couple image views that would be smoother?
You can set your background to be defined by a TransitionDrawable. Used it to develop a nice splash screen that fades in and didn't have any issues.
I'm not exactly sure what you want to do, but if you want to change from one screen to the other within the same app you should use the ViewFlipper.
View Flipper on Android Developer site
This will allow to smoothly change from one screen to the other (much like the iPhone way).
If it is about the actual Android background i can't help you. Sorry.

Image rumble in Android app

I have a quiz of sorts. There are a couple images at the top. What I'd like to do is when a wrong answer is given, rumble one if the images for a second or two and have it settle back into position. Just a small shake in the X and Y. Is this doable? The images are in the same layout as the rest. I don't know if that matters.
Thanks for the help
There's a demo of this in the API Demos, under Views/Animation/Shake.
You can probably use a simple View animation to alter the position as outlined at http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/graphics/view-animation.html.
