Custom passwordToggleDrawable is too large in TextInputLayout

I have used android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout to make a password input that allows the user to toggle readability on the password. The xml is as follows:
<android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
app:hintEnabled="false"
app:passwordToggleDrawable="#drawable/password_toggle_selector"
app:passwordToggleEnabled="true" >
<android.support.design.widget.TextInputEditText
android:id="#+id/password"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:hint="Password"
android:inputType="textPassword"/>
</android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout>
The drawable selector is as described by How to customize android passwordToggleDrawable
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:drawable="#drawable/password_toggle_show"
android:state_checked="true"/>
<item android:drawable="#drawable/password_toggle_hide"/>
</selector>
The issue is that the custom drawable becomes really large. Not larger than the edittext, but rather it seems to maximize its size while still fitting inside it (so, it seems to be bounded by the height of the element). However, if I leave the passwordToggleDrawable property unset, the drawable for the toggle is sized as is normal for android (I am sure you have seen the icon in other apps before). After much searching I have found a way to resize the custom one, but I am not happy with how its done (requires 2 extra xml files per drawable) and it only works for API 23+.
I would like to know if there is a good way to set the size of the drawable, or better yet, make it target the size of the default drawable?
I have tried setting the padding of the EditText as the source of TextInputLayout says that it gets the four paddings from it and apply to the mPasswordToggleView (line 1143), but it made no change on the icon and (as expected) also affected the padding of the EditText. I have tried setting minheight to 0. I have also tried changing between EditText and TextInputEditText (using the latter now as it seems to be recommended). I have tried switching the layout_height properties to wrap_content. I have tried scaling the drawable using xml's <scale> tag with the scale properties set. I have tried similarly with the <inset> tag. But none of those methods works.
The way I found (and am currently using) to resize the drawable that actually works is by using the xml tag <layer-list>, while setting the width and height properties. Then the <selector> xml file references those resized drawables instead of the png ones. But I don't like this solution because as I mentioned it requires API 23 and because of that results in a total of 4 extra xml files. It also sets the width and height by themselves, instead of keeping the ratio locked.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item
android:drawable="#drawable/password_toggle_hide"
android:width="22dp"
android:height="15dp"/>
</layer-list>
TL;DR
How do I set the size of a custom passwordToggleDrawable in TextInputLayout? Preferably to same size as the default drawable.

I know this is an old question, but I faced the same problem and I believe I figure out a simple solution for this.
I'm using the TextInputLayout for the newest material library, and the only thing that I did was to find the reference for the endIcon from the TextInputLayout and change it's minimum dimensions.
val dimension = //here you get the dimension you want to
val endIconImageView = yourTextInputLayout.findViewById<ImageView>(R.id.text_input_end_icon)
endIconImageView.minimumHeight = dimension
endIconImageView.minimumWidth = dimension
yourTextInputLayout.requestLayout()
Important things to notice:
I did this on the OnFinishedInflated from a custom TextInputLayout, but I believe it will work fine on some activity class.
Cheers!

I face same problem. To avoid this situation I used png and set them based dpi like drawable-hdpi, drawable-mdpi etc. Also make those drawable as per radio. Hope that this tricks also work for you.

I were unable to find any solution to the question I actually asked, but I decided to instead solve the issue by disregarding the "in InputTextLayout" part of the question and implemented my own version of the class.
Mostly it is just a copy of InputTextLayout (sadly that class doesnt translate well for subclassing as everything is private) but with most of the stuff I dont need removed, and more importantly, with the CheckableImageButton mPasswordToggleView changed to a ViewGroup containing a View.
The ViewGroup is the clickable button, and handles setMinimumDimensions to keep the clickable area at min 48 dp, like the original did through design_text_input_password_icon.xml. This also makes small drawables not hug the right side of the screen as they are centered in the clickable area, giving the margin that the default drawable appears to have.
The View (or more precisely, a new subclass of it I called CheckableView) is the actual drawable (setBackground()), replacing the CheckableImageButton as the container of the drawable that lets it switch based on state_checked selector.
The xml-property passwordToggleSize allows a dimension to be set, which is used to scale the drawable. I opted to only have one value instead of width&height, and the drawable scales with its ratio locked such that its greatest dimension matches the dimension specified. I made the default size 24dp, as is specified for the default-drawable in design_ic_visibility.xml.

Same issue for me. The problem comes from the gradle material API implementation:
implementation 'com.google.android.material:material:1.1.0'
downgrade to version 1.0.0 fixes the issue:
implementation 'com.google.android.material:material:1.0.0'

Paralax effect in app background

Im new in Android world. I want to put some parallax background effects in my app.
How can I do it? How to approach to this in Android?
Is there any productive way to create 2-3 layer parallax background? Is there some tool, or class in android API?
Or maybe I have to modify background image location or margins "manually" in code?
Im using API level 19.
I have tried to understand Paralloid library, but this is too big to understand without any explanation. Im new to Android and Java, im not familiar with all Layouts and other UI objects, however I'm familiar with MVC.
I started bounty, maybe someone can explain step by step how that library works.

This is what you can do:
In your activity/fragment layout file specify 2 ScrollView's (say background_sv and content_sv).
<?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" >
<com.example.parallax.MyScrollView
android:id="#+id/background_sv"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" >
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/parallax_bg"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="..." />
</com.example.parallax.MyScrollView>
<com.example.parallax.MyScrollView
android:id="#+id/content_sv"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" >
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical" >
</LinearLayout>
</com.example.parallax.MyScrollView>
</RelativeLayout>
Add a dummy view in the content scrollview of the height of the background and make it transparent. Now, attach a scroll listener to the content_sv. When the content scrollview is scrolled, call
mBgScrollView.scrollTo(0, (int)(y /*scroll Of content_sv*/ / 2f));
The existing API's doesn't have the support to get the scroll events.
Hence, we need to create a Custom ScrollView, to provide the ScrollViewListener.
package com.example.parallax;
// imports;
public class MyScrollView extends ScrollView {
public interface ScrollViewListener {
void onScrollChanged(MyScrollView scrollView, int x, int y, int oldx, int oldy);
}
private ScrollViewListener scrollViewListener = null;
public MyScrollView(Context context) {
super(context);
}
public MyScrollView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle) {
super(context, attrs, defStyle);
}
public MyScrollView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
super(context, attrs);
}
public void setScrollViewListener(ScrollViewListener scrollViewListener) {
this.scrollViewListener = scrollViewListener;
}
#Override
protected void onScrollChanged(int x, int y, int oldx, int oldy) {
super.onScrollChanged(x, y, oldx, oldy);
if(scrollViewListener != null) {
scrollViewListener.onScrollChanged(this, x, y, oldx, oldy);
}
}
}
Here is the activity which hosts both the content ScrollView and background ScrollView
package com.example.parallax;
// imports;
public class ParallaxActivity extends Activity implements ScrollViewListener {
private MyScrollView mBgScrollView;
private MyScrollView mContentScrollView;
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
mBgScrollView = findViewById(R.id.background_sv);
mContentScrollView = findViewById(R.id.content_sv);
mContentScrollView.setOnScrollListener(this);
}
// this is method for onScrollListener put values according to your need
#Override
public void onScrollChanged(MyScrollView scrollView, int x, int y, int oldx, int oldy) {
super.onScrollChanged(scrollView, x, y, oldx, oldy);
// when the content scrollview will scroll by say 100px,
// the background scrollview will scroll by 50px. It will
// look like a parallax effect where the background is
// scrolling with a different speed then the content scrollview.
mBgScrollView.scrollTo(0, (int)(y / 2f));
}
}

I think the question is unclear, so this is not really an answer so much as an attempt to clarify with more detail than I could include in a comment.
My question is about what kind of parallax effect you want to achieve. Given these three examples (they are demo apps you can install from the Play Store), which if any has the type of parallax effect you want? Please answer in a comment.

Given an answer, we all will find it easier to help out. If you edit your question to include this information, it will be improved.

The following contains an example application published by the author of Paralloid:

From the GitHub page under the 'Getting Started' section:
Layout
ScrollView
This is an example, please refer to the paralloidexample App for full
code.

</uk.co.chrisjenx.paralloid.views.ParallaxScrollView>
</FrameLayout>
Fragment
Inside your onViewCreated() or onCreateView().
//...
FrameLayout topContent = (FrameLayout) rootView.findViewById(R.id.top_content);
ScrollView scrollView = (ScrollView) rootView.findViewById(R.id.scroll_view);
if (scrollView instanceof Parallaxor) {
((Parallaxor) scrollView).parallaxViewBy(topContent, 0.5f);
}
// TODO: add content to top/scroll content
Thats it!
Have a look at the Parallaxor interface for applicable Parallax
methods.
Hope this helps!
Also, here is a link to Google's 'getting started' page for android.
Also, here is a link to a 'java tutorial for complete beginners'.
As well as link to some documentation about layouts, which 'define the visual structure for a user interface'.
That being said, you would use the layout to define what the interface looks like and use the subsequent example code to define what happens when you interact with it.
P.S. You can see the application in action here

I use the ParallaxScroll library. Very easy to use, good samples and well documented.

Here is how it can be done using ScrollView and it's background image. I've committed the code in github.
You need to extend the ScrollView and Drawable classes.
By default the ScrollView background height will be same as viewport height. To achieve the parallax effect, the background height should be larger and should be based on the ScrollView child height and the background scrolling factor we want to impose.
Background scroll factor of 1 indicates, background height is same as ScrollView child height and hence background will scroll with same offset as the child scrolls.
0.5 indicates, background height is 0.5 times ScrollView child extended height and will scroll 50% slower compared to the child contents. This effectively brings the parallax scrolling effect.
Call following method from ScrollView constructor:
void init() {
// Calculate background drawable size before first draw of scrollview
getViewTreeObserver().addOnPreDrawListener(new ViewTreeObserver.OnPreDrawListener() {
#Override
public boolean onPreDraw() {
// Remove the listener
getViewTreeObserver().removeOnPreDrawListener(this);
mDrawable = (ParallaxDrawable) getBackground();
if(mDrawable != null && mDrawable instanceof ParallaxDrawable) {
// Get the only child of scrollview
View child = getChildAt(0);
int width = child.getWidth();
// calculate height of background based on child height and scroll factor
int height = (int) (getHeight() + (child.getHeight() - getHeight()) * mScrollFactor);
mDrawable.setSize(width, height);
}
return true;
}
});
}
When ScrollView is scrolled, take into consideration the scroll offset while drawing the background. This basically achieves the parallax effect.
ParallaxScrollView:
protected void onScrollChanged(int x, int y, int oldX, int oldY) {
if(mDrawable != null && mDrawable instanceof ParallaxDrawable) {
// set the scroll offset for the background drawable.
mDrawable.setScrollOffset(x*mScrollFactor, y*mScrollFactor);
}
}
ParallaxDrawable:
#Override
public void draw(Canvas canvas) {
// To move the background up, translate canvas by negative offset
canvas.translate(-mScrollXOffset, -mScrollYOffset);
mDrawable.draw(canvas);
canvas.translate(mScrollXOffset, mScrollYOffset);
}
protected void onBoundsChange(Rect bounds) {
// This sets the size of background drawable.
mDrawable.setBounds(new Rect(bounds.top, bounds.left, bounds.left + mWidth, bounds.top + mHeight));
}
Usage of ParallaxScrollView and ParallaxDrawable:
public class MyActivity extends Activity {
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.parallax_layout);
final ParallaxScrollView scrollView = (ParallaxScrollView) findViewById(R.id.sv);
ParallaxDrawable drawable = new ParallaxDrawable(getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.bg));
scrollView.setBackground( drawable, 0.2f );
}
}
parallax_layout.xml:
<manish.com.parallax.ParallaxScrollView
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/sv"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" >
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/tv"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textColor="#fff"
android:text="#string/text" />
<View
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="5dp" />
...
</LinearLayout>
</manish.com.parallax.ParallaxScrollView>

The Android API does not support much concrete tools for it as you probably noticed. In API 20 they added elevation which is an attribute for depth. This does not support parallax layouts itself but I would say it's a step by Google to make this kind of work easier. If you want a wild guess on if and when, I would say that parallax utilities could be added before API 25 is released, based on the latest update and the progress in battery efficiency.
For now all you need is to listen for some kind of movement and change the views positions based on a value representing elevation.
Your question made me upgrade my own project and this is how I did it using ViewDragHelper inside a Fragment.

private ViewDragHelper mDragHelper;

Bundle savedInstanceState) {
mRootLayout = (RelativeLayout) inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_main, container, false);
mRootLayout.setOnTouchListener(this);
mDecor = (ImageView) mRootLayout.findViewById(R.id.decor);
mBamboo = (ImageView) mRootLayout.findViewById(R.id.bamboo);
mBackgroundBamboo = (ImageView) mRootLayout.findViewById(R.id.backround_bamboo);
mDragHelper = ViewDragHelper.create(mRootLayout, 1.0f, new ViewDragHelper.Callback() {
private final float MAX_LEFT = -0;
private final float MAX_TOP = -20;
private final float MAX_RIGHT = 50;
private final float MAX_BOTTOM = 10;

private final int FRONT_BAMBOO_ELEVATION = 6;
private final int BACKGROUND_BAMBOO_ELEVATION = 1;
private float mLeft = 0;
private float mTop = 0;
#Override
public boolean tryCaptureView(View view, int i) {
return true;
}
#Override
public int clampViewPositionVertical(View child, int top, int dy) {

Android GLSurfaceView in XML Layout

I am trying to put a GLSurfaceView and a button into the same xml layout. But my application keep closing automatically whenever I run it on my device.
Could someone please help me and tell what am I missing or what is wrong with my code?
here is my code

===========================
Thank you.

In MainActivity.onCreate() use findViewById instead of creating a new View.(like u did in onPause, onResume) and only assign the variable once.
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
mGLView = (MyGLSurfaceView) findViewById(R.id.glSurfaceViewID);
Make sure MyGLSurfaceView has constructors with AttributeSet so it could be inflated from XML. Check out this stackoverflow atricle for the constructors.
And aswell change the order of the Button and MyGLSurfaceView in the XML, because now Button will be below the MyGLSurfaceView in your layout so you won't be able to see it.

This is a 7 year old QA, this is how you do it now with Kotlin:
import android.content.Context
import android.opengl.GLES20
import android.opengl.GLSurfaceView
import android.util.AttributeSet
import javax.microedition.khronos.egl.EGLConfig
import javax.microedition.khronos.opengles.GL10
class GameView
#JvmOverloads constructor(
context: Context,
attrs: AttributeSet? = null,
) : GLSurfaceView(context, attrs) {
companion object{
// Support OpenGL ES 2.0
private const val OPEN_GLES_VERSION = 2
}
private val renderer: GameRenderer
init {
//create an OpenGL ES 2.0-compatible context.
setEGLContextClientVersion(OPEN_GLES_VERSION)
// Set the Renderer for drawing on the GLSurfaceView
renderer = GameRenderer().apply {
setRenderer(this)
}
}
inner class GameRenderer : Renderer {
override fun onSurfaceCreated(unused: GL10, config: EGLConfig) {
// Set the background frame color
GLES20.glClearColor(1.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f)
}
override fun onDrawFrame(unused: GL10) {
// Redraw background color
GLES20.glClear(GLES20.GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT)
}
override fun onSurfaceChanged(unused: GL10, width: Int, height: Int) {
GLES20.glViewport(0, 0, width, height)
}
}
}
In XML
<com.hiteshsahu.opengl.boilerplate.GameView
android:id="#+id/glView"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"/>

Android:Why after override onMeasure() in a custom view, the view's text can't show in RalativeLayout?

I made a custom component that extends View and overrides its onMeasure(), the content of this component is some text, then I add it to a RelativeLayout, but this text can't display, if I comment onMeasure() that been overridden the text shows. What's the reason?
Here is the code:
public class CustomView extends View {
private String text;
private int viewWidth;
private int viewHeight;
private Paint paint;
private FontMetrics fontMetrics;
public CustomView(Context context) {
this(context, null);
}
public CustomView(Context context, String text) {
this(context, text, 0);
this.text = text;
paint = new Paint(Paint.ANTI_ALIAS_FLAG);
updateViewBounds();
}
public CustomView(Context context, String text, int defStyle) {
super(context);
}
private void updateViewBounds(){
viewWidth = (int) paint.measureText(this.text);
fontMetrics = paint.getFontMetrics();
viewHeight = (int)(fontMetrics.descent - fontMetrics.ascent);
}
private String getText() {
return this.text;
}
protected void onMeasure(int widthMeasureSpec, int heightMeasureSpec) {
super.onMeasure(widthMeasureSpec, heightMeasureSpec);
setMeasuredDimension(viewWidth, viewHeight);
//setMeasuredDimension(560, 100);even though give a ensured size, it can't //anyway.
}
protected void onDraw(Canvas canvas) {
super.onDraw(canvas);
paint.setColor(Color.WHITE);
paint.setTextSize(30);
canvas.drawText(text, 0, 200, paint);
Log.e("content", ""+this.getText());
}
public boolean onTouchEvent (MotionEvent event){
Log.e("Touch", ""+this.getText());
return false;
}
}
Here is the Activity:
public class CustomViewActivity extends Activity {
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
private RelativeLayout contentLayout;
private CustomView view1;
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
contentLayout = (RelativeLayout)findViewById(R.id.contentLayout);
view1 = new CustomView(this, "You drive me crazy!!!");
RelativeLayout.LayoutParams layoutParams = new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(
LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
view1.setLayoutParams(layoutParams);
contentLayout.addView(view1);
}
}
this is the XML file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/contentLayout"
android:layout_width="1024px"
android:layout_height="560px"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<Button
android:id="#+id/button2"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_marginLeft="126dp"
android:text="Button" />
</RelativeLayout>

You can absolutely set the MeasureSpec to a different size, however, the arguments for onMeasure are misleading. A MeasureSpec is a specially translated int that has to be specifically created by using both a pixel measure and a flag. The correct way to set a specific size it indicated below...
final int desiredHSpec = MeasureSpec.makeMeasureSpec(pixelHeight, MeasureSpec.MODE_CONSTANT);
final int desiredWSpec = MeasureSpec.makeMeasureSpec(pixelWidth, MeasureSpec.MODE_CONSTANT);
setMeasuredDimension(desiredWSpec, desiredHSpec);
The MODE_CONSTANTS must have a value of one of the following:
* AT_MOST - meaning that it is dynamic, but will be clipped if the contents are too large
* EXACTLY - meaning it will be that size no matter how large or small the contents are
* UNSPECIFIED - meaning that it will make whatever decision it makes according to the parameters of the parents, children, device size, etc...
If you do not specify one of these constants, then the Android Layout rendering engine has no idea what to do, and simply hides the object. It must be understood, that as an open platform for so many devices, Google decided to make the layout engine "dynamic and intelligent" to support as many apps as possible on as many platforms as possible. This simply requires the developer to let the device know exactly what it needs.
Note: It sounds like you want EXACTLY, but think carefully about your choice and how many devices you will be supporting. :)

Creating a 3D flip animation in Android using XML

I have created a 3D flip of a view using this android tutorial
However, I have done it programmatically and I would like to do it all in xml, if possible. I am not talking about simply shrinking a view to the middle and then back out, but an actual 3D flip.
Is this possible via xml?

Here is the answer, though it only works with 3.0 and above.
1) Create a new resources folder called "animator".
2) Create a new .xml file which I will call "flipping". Use the following xml code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<objectAnimator xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:valueFrom="0" android:valueTo="360" android:propertyName="rotationY" >
</objectAnimator>
No, the objectAnimator tags do not start with an uppercase "O".
3) Start the animation with the following code:
ObjectAnimator anim = (ObjectAnimator) AnimatorInflater.loadAnimator(mContext, R.animator.flipping);
anim.setTarget(A View Object reference goes here i.e. ImageView);
anim.setDuration(3000);
anim.start();
I got all this from here.

Since the answers to this question are fairly dated, here is a more modern solution relying on ValueAnimators.
This solution implements a true, visually appealing 3D-flip, because it not just flips the view, but also scales it while it is flipping (this is how Apple does it).
First we set up the ValueAnimator:
mFlipAnimator = ValueAnimator.ofFloat(0f, 1f);
mFlipAnimator.addUpdateListener(new FlipListener(frontView, backView));
And the corresponding update listener:
public class FlipListener implements ValueAnimator.AnimatorUpdateListener {
private final View mFrontView;
private final View mBackView;
private boolean mFlipped;
public FlipListener(final View front, final View back) {
this.mFrontView = front;
this.mBackView = back;
this.mBackView.setVisibility(View.GONE);
}
#Override
public void onAnimationUpdate(final ValueAnimator animation) {
final float value = animation.getAnimatedFraction();
final float scaleValue = 0.625f + (1.5f * (value - 0.5f) * (value - 0.5f));
if(value <= 0.5f){
this.mFrontView.setRotationY(180 * value);
this.mFrontView.setScaleX(scaleValue);
this.mFrontView.setScaleY(scaleValue);
if(mFlipped){
setStateFlipped(false);
}
} else {
this.mBackView.setRotationY(-180 * (1f- value));
this.mBackView.setScaleX(scaleValue);
this.mBackView.setScaleY(scaleValue);
if(!mFlipped){
setStateFlipped(true);
}
}
}
private void setStateFlipped(boolean flipped) {
mFlipped = flipped;
this.mFrontView.setVisibility(flipped ? View.GONE : View.VISIBLE);
this.mBackView.setVisibility(flipped ? View.VISIBLE : View.GONE);
}
}
That's it!
After this setup you can flip the views by calling
mFlipAnimator.start();
and reverse the flip by calling
mFlipAnimator.reverse();
If you want to check if the view is flipped, implement and call this function:
private boolean isFlipped() {
return mFlipAnimator.getAnimatedFraction() == 1;
}
You can also check if the view is currently flipping by implementing this method:
private boolean isFlipping() {
final float currentValue = mFlipAnimator.getAnimatedFraction();
return (currentValue < 1 && currentValue > 0);
}
You can combine the above functions to implement a nice function to toggle the flip, depending on if it is flipped or not:
private void toggleFlip() {
if(isFlipped()){
mFlipAnimator.reverse();
} else {
mFlipAnimator.start();
}
}
That's it! Simple and easy. Enjoy!

I have created a simple program for creating flip of view like :
In Activity you have to create this method, for adding flip_rotation in view.
private void applyRotation(View view)
{
final Flip3dAnimation rotation = new Flip3dAnimation(view);
rotation.applyPropertiesInRotation();
view.startAnimation(rotation);
}
for this, you have to copy main class used to provide flip_rotation.
import android.graphics.Camera;
import android.graphics.Matrix;
import android.util.Log;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.animation.AccelerateInterpolator;
import android.view.animation.Animation;
import android.view.animation.Transformation;
public class Flip3dAnimation extends Animation {
private final float mFromDegrees;
private final float mToDegrees;
private final float mCenterX;
private final float mCenterY;
private Camera mCamera;
public Flip3dAnimation(View view) {
mFromDegrees = 0;
mToDegrees = 720;
mCenterX = view.getWidth() / 2.0f;
mCenterY = view.getHeight() / 2.0f;
}
#Override
public void initialize(int width, int height, int parentWidth,
int parentHeight) {
super.initialize(width, height, parentWidth, parentHeight);
mCamera = new Camera();
}
public void applyPropertiesInRotation()
{
this.setDuration(2000);
this.setFillAfter(true);
this.setInterpolator(new AccelerateInterpolator());
}
#Override
protected void applyTransformation(float interpolatedTime, Transformation t) {
final float fromDegrees = mFromDegrees;
float degrees = fromDegrees
+ ((mToDegrees - fromDegrees) * interpolatedTime);
final float centerX = mCenterX;
final float centerY = mCenterY;
final Camera camera = mCamera;
final Matrix matrix = t.getMatrix();
camera.save();
Log.e("Degree",""+degrees) ;
Log.e("centerX",""+centerX) ;
Log.e("centerY",""+centerY) ;
camera.rotateY(degrees);
camera.getMatrix(matrix);
camera.restore();
matrix.preTranslate(-centerX, -centerY);
matrix.postTranslate(centerX, centerY);
}
}

The tutorial or the link by om252345 don't produce believable 3D flips. A simple rotation on the y-axis isn't what's done in iOS. The zoom effect is also needed to create that nice flip feel. For that, take a look at this example.
There is also a video here.

One of the better solution to flip the image with out use of the resource animation , is as follow:-
ObjectAnimator animation = ObjectAnimator.ofFloat(YOUR_IMAGEVIEW, "rotationY", 0.0f, 360f); // HERE 360 IS THE ANGLE OF ROTATE, YOU CAN USE 90, 180 IN PLACE OF IT, ACCORDING TO YOURS REQUIREMENT
animation.setDuration(500); // HERE 500 IS THE DURATION OF THE ANIMATION, YOU CAN INCREASE OR DECREASE ACCORDING TO YOURS REQUIREMENT
animation.setInterpolator(new AccelerateDecelerateInterpolator());
animation.start();

The simplest way to do it is using ViewPropertyAnimator
mImageView.animate().rotationY(360f);
Using the fluent interface you can build more complex and exciting animation.
E.g. you can enable hardware acceleration just call withLayer() method(API 16). More here
If you want to figure out how to create 3d flick animation, please follow here and here
I implemended my own solution only for a research. It includes: cancelation, accelleration, support API >= 15 and is based on Property Animation.
The entire animation includes 4 parts, 2 for each side.
Every objectAnimator has a listener that defines current animation index and represents an image in the onAnimationStart and current play time value in the onAnimationCancel.
It looks like
mQuarterAnim1.addListener(new AnimatorListenerAdapter() {
#Override
public void onAnimationStart(Animator animation) {
mQuarterCurrentAnimStartIndex = QUARTER_ANIM_INDEX_1;
mImageView.setImageResource(mResIdFrontCard);
}
#Override
public void onAnimationCancel(Animator animation) {
mQuarterCurrentAnimPlayTime = ((ObjectAnimator) animation).getCurrentPlayTime();
}
});
For start set call
mAnimatorSet.play(mQuarterAnim1).before(mQuarterAnim2)
If AnimatorSet was canceled we can calculate delta and run the reverse animation relying on the current index animation and the current play time value.
long degreeDelta = mQuarterCurrentAnimPlayTime * QUARTER_ROTATE / QUARTER_ANIM_DURATION;
if (mQuarterCurrentAnimStartIndex == QUARTER_ANIM_INDEX_1) {
mQuarterAnim4.setFloatValues(degreeDelta, QUARTER_FROM_1);
mQuarterAnim4.setDuration(mQuarterCurrentAnimPlayTime);
mAnimatorSet.play(mQuarterAnim4);
}
A full code snippet you can find here

Just put the view which you're going to animate it in place of viewToFlip.
ObjectAnimator flip = ObjectAnimator.ofFloat(viewToFlip, "rotationY", 0f, 360f); // or rotationX
flip.setDuration(2000); // 2 seconds
flip.start();

Adding to A. Steenbergen's great answer. When flipping the same view (updating a TextView for example) I removed the View.Visibility change in the constructor in order to keep the transition smoother.
public FlipListener(final View front, final View back) {
this.mFrontView = front;
this.mBackView = back;
}
