I want to create an image auto scrolling for an outer-space type of game. To make it more exact, I want to load 2 background image that uses a single image occupying the whole screen and auto-scroll it alternatively to create an animation that the background image is moving. Don't get confused with auto scrolling and and shifting to another image automatically. I really meant auto scrolling like moving background using 1 image.
I did some research but what I saw are segments of java codes that made me confused. If possible can anyone provide me an example? From loading the image from xml (should I use an imageview with this? or just set the background image of the layout?) and how I should process it in java code to make an image autoscrolling.
Any ideas guys? Thanks! Sorry for asking too much.

Good day guys.I want to make the bottom part of my own image an curved line.Not to talk back and forth here is an image which i want to get into the application.
Important to notice that i have reached 10th result of the google and everything i came up was only some curved image not in my desired way,the whole image was curved and the lines of 4 parts were connected to single one.
So basically i want the image to be as rectangle as it comes from server and only curve the bottom part of a bitmap.Is that even possible?
Noticae the bottom line is curved,that what i want to achieve,and rest parts are rectangle.Thank you for your time.
If you are trying to change the image itself, photoshop or any editing tool is the right way to do it. besides if you are getting the image from a server somewhere then getting the image adjusted from the server, instead of modifying it on the client side(o your app) has lot of benefits.
But, if want to change the look not the image itself, then that could be achieved by creating a custom image view like answered here.
You can also use a card view hold your image view to achieve some curves, although i don't think that would be efficient or satisfactory for your case.
Sometimes, editing the image in Photoshop is the right way. This can save your android app CPU time.
For my app, I plan to have a grid of images and when you select one the image increases in size and the rest of the images get grayed out. I read about Activity Transitions but have never implemented that before so I'm not sure if this is the appropriate way of achieving the correct affect. I was thinking of possibly using a fragment and an animation to display the image in a larger size but how do I display the activity in the background with a grey tint to it so that it looks out of focus? I'm looking here to see what you think the most appropriate method of making this work. Here is a gif of exactly what I'm trying to accomplish.
I need to build a component to view large images.
I cannot put the ImageView in a ScrollView because I will need to be handle other touch events on the image.
The ideal would be to build a "viewer"
with an horizontal handle
and a vertical handle
that enable to move where the picture is centered so that I can scroll the image using the handles without touching the picture itself.
I would like to achieve something like in the following picture, I have researched but I was not able to find any Android API or other component/library that I could use.
Thank you very much for any suggestion.
Best thing I can think of is use two custom scrollbars for the horizontal and vertical scroll. In an onChange() function you can change the crop area on the master image and display the cropped image. Depedning on how it is done you can get a slide effect going for the image.
if u check this steam page http://store.steampowered.com/
There is a banner which feature games, It move from right to left scroll horizontal transition which is automatic and can be scrolled left or right on press of button. I want to do same banner in android app. But right now i don't know how to start with. Need some ideas from you guys. I need efficient approach. Is it just one imageview and drawing and doing transition on its canvas. If yes then how does it work for my situation which is i am fetching images from web service via xml. SO this banner contents would be dynamic. The url of image will be in xml and i have to render those images in this banner with those transition as seen in steam page.
Thanks.
I'd suggest using a ViewFlipper and dynamically (in code) adding ImageViews. Keep in mind that loading multiple Images is very memory heavy.
You could load the shown picture +- 1 and adding/removing images on-the-fly when the shown image is switched. With this approach it would save memory and should be efficient.
can anyone let me know how to keep an image on top of other image. If we select a portion of the top image it should display the below image portion.
Please share the samp
Thanks in advance.

I'm not sure if this would completely answer your question... but firstly, images shouldn't really ever overlap in a LinearLayout. If you're using a RelativeLayout, they definitely can overlap, and the image on top will be whatever was loaded last in the XML.
If I understand what you're attempting to do - kind of transparency (so to speak) of the top image so that portions of the bottom image are displayed along with portions of the top image ... I do things like that all the time by overriding the onDraw() method on my View to handle the image painting myself. There's allot of examples on the net for this - simple stuff.
