Creating a 3D flip animation in Android using XML - android

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;
}

Android - Cube Out Transformer Not working

I am using this Library in order to create a transform effect on a pager. All the classes working good except for the Cube Out and Cube In transform. They appear white while scrolling.
I have also created a custom animation but it still not animate the pager.
What could be the problem here? and why only setRotationY is not working properly?
public class CubePageTrasformer extends BaseTransformer {
#Override
protected void onTransform(View view, float position) {
final float height = view.getHeight();
final float width = view.getWidth();
view.setPivotX(position < 0f ? width : 0f);
view.setPivotY(height * 0.5f);
float rotation = (90f * position);
view.setRotationY(rotation);
}
#Override
public boolean isPagingEnabled() {
return true;
}
}
I had the exact same issue as you and I found that the following change fixed the issue on all devices:
viewPager.clipChildren = false

Imageview not moving

Im trying to make an Imageview (a ball) move around the layout and bounce a number of times before stoping when a buttom is pressed. The probles is that although the logcat says its happening, i dont see it moving.
Here it is
public class BallPhisics {
int x =400;
int y = 0;
boolean bounceX = false;
boolean bounceY= false;
int counter =0;
ImageView object;
public BallPhisics(ImageView i){
object=i;
}
public void applyMovement() {
while (true) {
object.setLeft((int) object.getX()+x); //i know i shouldnt use pixels
Log.d("EVENT", "X moved"); Log.d("Ended",Integer.toString(object.getLeft()));
object.setBottom((int)(object.getY() + y));
Log.d("EVENT", "Y moved");
try {
Thread.sleep(1000);
Log.d("EVENT", "Time 1 used");
} catch(InterruptedException ex) {
Thread.currentThread().interrupt();
}
if (object.getX()<=50||(object.getRight()<=50)){
bounceX =true;
break;
}
if (object.getY()<=50||object.getTop()<=50){
bounceY=true;
break;
}
}
this.bouncing();
}
public void bouncing(){
Log.d("EVENT", "Bouncing!!");
if (bounceX&&bounceY){
x=-x;
y=-y;
}
else if (bounceX){
x=-x;
y=(int)(Math.random()*100- 50 +y);
}
else if (bounceY) {
x = (int) (Math.random() * 100 - 50 + x);
y = -y;
}
counter++;
if(counter==5){return;}
this.applyMovement();
}
And on mainActivity the onclick event.
public void StartBall (View view){
ImageView imageview=(ImageView) findViewById(R.id.imageView);
BallPhisics phisics = new BallPhisics(imageview);
Log.d("EVENT", Integer.toString(imageview.getLeft() )+" before");
phisics.applyMovement();
Log.d("EVENT",Integer.toString(imageview.getLeft())+" after" );
}
Sorry if it is a lot of reading. By the way does anyone knows the proper way of moving a view?
Thanks in advance
First of all to move a View it's probably not a good idea to use setLeft (int left) or setBottom (int bottom) because this method is meant to be called by the layout system and should not generally be called otherwise, according to the documentation.
To move a View dynamically you should take a look at LayoutParams or setX (float x) and setY (float Y), if you can limit your support to Honeycomb (API Level 11).
Regardless which one you use, you may find it difficult to achieve a smooth movement. Therefore I recommend you to use the view animation system to perform tweened animation of your ImageView.
Below you will find an example of a chain animation that moves an ImageView starting from left to right with an arbitrary y-coordinate. After each translation from one x-border to the next, the onAnimationEnd will be called and start an animation in the other direction.
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
//the ImageView you want to animate
private ImageView imageview;
private Animation mAnimation;
//The coordinates the view moved to in the last animation
private float lastX=0;
private float lastY=0;
private float secondlastY;
//Listener that implements a translate animation chain
AnimationListener animationListener=new AnimationListener() {
#Override
public void onAnimationEnd(Animation animation) {
float newY=(float)(Math.random()*0.75);
//this prevents that we move back to the position we came from
// to get a more natural bounce animation
while(newY<=secondlastY+0.15 && newY>=secondlastY-0.15){
newY=(float)(Math.random()*0.75);
}
if(lastX==0.75f){
//test if we are on the right border of the parent
mAnimation=newAnimation(lastX,lastY,0f,newY);
mAnimation.setAnimationListener(animationListener);
lastX=0f;
}else if(lastX==0.0f){
//test if we are on the left border of the parent
mAnimation=newAnimation(lastX,lastY,0.75f,newY);
mAnimation.setAnimationListener(animationListener);
lastX=0.75f;
}
secondlastY=lastY;
lastY=newY;
imageview.startAnimation(mAnimation);
}
};
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
imageview=(ImageView) findViewById(R.id.imageView);
//the coordinates the first animation should move to
lastY=(float)(Math.random()*0.75);
lastX=0.75f;
mAnimation=newAnimation(0f,0f,lastX,lastY);
mAnimation.setAnimationListener(animationListener);
imageview.startAnimation(mAnimation);
}
//Method that returns a new animation with given start and end coordinates
private Animation newAnimation(float startX, float startY, float endX, float endY){
Animation mAnimation = new TranslateAnimation(
TranslateAnimation.RELATIVE_TO_PARENT, startX,
TranslateAnimation.RELATIVE_TO_PARENT, endX,
TranslateAnimation.RELATIVE_TO_PARENT, startY,
TranslateAnimation.RELATIVE_TO_PARENT, endY );
mAnimation.setDuration(2500);
mAnimation.setRepeatCount(0);
mAnimation.setRepeatMode(Animation.REVERSE);
mAnimation.setFillAfter(true);
return mAnimation;
}
}
Note:
The translation animation is relative to the parents width and height. If you move the View all the way to x=1.0 or y=1.0 you will move parts of the view out of the parent layout. Because it's sufficient for this example I chose to set 0.75 to the max position in either direction. But you should probably set this dynamically in regards to the width and height of your ImageView and ParentLayout.

Cube Flip animation for Fragments on Android

I want to implement a basic 3d cube and rotate it by 90degrees either horizontally or vertically on Touch. What i want to implement is something similar to what is shown in the image below.
I've achieved this using ViewPager's ViewTransformer
But I am not happy with the result. The animation is not very smooth, and i cannot flip it, i have to drag my finger across the entire widht of the screen to rotate the cube.
I want to just flip it, but am not able to achieve it.
I've used BTGridPager-Android to achieve the above. But as mentioned, its not very convincing.
Here is my ViewTransformer code:
public abstract class ABaseTransformer implements PageTransformer {
#Override
public void transformPage(View page, float position) {
onPreTransform(page, position);
onTransform(page, position);
onPostTransform(page, position);
}
protected void onPreTransform(View page, float position) {
final float width = page.getWidth();
page.setRotationX(0);
page.setRotationY(0);
page.setRotation(0);
page.setScaleX(1);
page.setScaleY(1);
page.setPivotX(0);
page.setPivotY(0);
page.setTranslationY(0);
page.setTranslationX(isPagingEnabled() ? 0f : -width * position);
if (hideOffscreenPages()) {
page.setAlpha(position <= -1f || position >= 1f ? 0f : 1f);
} else {
page.setAlpha(1f);
}
}
public class HorizontalCubeOutTransformer extends ABaseTransformer {
#Override
protected void onTransform(View view, float position) {
final float normalizedposition = Math.abs(1 - Math.abs(position));
view.setPivotX(position < 0f ? view.getWidth() : 0f);
view.setPivotY(view.getHeight() * 0.5f);
view.setRotationY(90f * position);
view.setAlpha(normalizedposition);
}
#Override
public boolean isPagingEnabled() {
return true;
}
}
public class VerticalCubeOutTransformer extends ABaseTransformer {
#Override
protected void onTransform(View view, float position) {
final float normalizedposition = Math.abs(Math.abs(position) - 1);
view.setAlpha(normalizedposition);
view.setTranslationX(view.getWidth() * -position);
view.setTranslationY(position * view.getHeight());
view.setPivotX(view.getWidth() * 0.5f);
view.setPivotY(position < 0f ? view.getHeight() : 0f);
view.setRotationX(90f * -position);
}
#Override
public boolean isPagingEnabled() {
return false;
}
}
What I would like to know is how to rotate the cube on the flip gesture.
Note: I would like to achieve this without OpenGL or SurfaceView.
UPDATE:
till now i have implemented the cube flip using fragmenttransactionExtended but now i got some other problem, as the current fragment disappears as soon as the flip begins
You can use FragmentTransactionExtended
FragmentTransactionExtended
it provides all types of animations between frgaments

How to move a image across the screen on Android

How to move an image across the screen android?
Guys, im creating MoleMash game for My Coursework and I really need help!. I want to try to move a image (the mole) across the screen in different and random coordinates so that it can be touched by the user to get a score. I created the background which I made the image view. I have the mole, Is it another image view? or is it a Image button?
And how do I move this across to different parts of the screen for the user interact?
I would greatly appreciate your help!
For games development you need to learn how to use canvas and SurfaceView: How can I use the animation framework inside the canvas?
Using onTouch event listener you would compare the touch location with the location of your animated images...
The mole would be an image button so it could be clicked, but to make it move you would have to use animation. Keep in mind that I am a beginner in Android animation as well :). You would probably use TranslateAnimation and set the x and y in the parameters to random variables, the duration could be when a time/counter variable reaches a certain point after the game has started. This post has more information on animation: How to move an image from left to right in android.
Try this code,
declare following variables
private Random random=new Random();
private int screenwidth, screenhgt;
In onCreate():
screenwidth= getyourScreenWidth;
screenhgt=getyourscreenheight;
Pass your view to this method(In my case I animate textview.. you pass the imageview)
private void screenRandomAnimator(final TextView textView) {
final AnimatorSet mAnimatorSet = new AnimatorSet();
mAnimatorSet.playTogether(ObjectAnimator.ofFloat(textView, "x", (float) random.nextInt(screenwidth), (float) random.nextInt(screenwidth)),
ObjectAnimator.ofFloat(textView, "y", (float) random.nextInt(screenhgt), (float) random.nextInt(screenhgt)), ObjectAnimator.ofFloat(textView, "rotation", 360)
/* ObjectAnimator.ofFloat(textView, "scaleX", 1, 0.8f, 1, 1.1f, 1), ObjectAnimator.ofFloat(textView, "scaleY", 1, 0.8f, 1, 1.1f, 1)*/);
int Low = 1500;
int High = 2500;
int Result = random.nextInt(High - Low) + Low;
mAnimatorSet.setDuration(Result);
mAnimatorSet.start();
mAnimatorSet.addListener(new Animator.AnimatorListener() {
#Override
public void onAnimationStart(Animator animation) {
}
#Override
public void onAnimationEnd(Animator animation) {
mAnimatorSet.playTogether(ObjectAnimator.ofFloat(textView, "x", textView.getX(), (float) random.nextInt(screenwidth)),
ObjectAnimator.ofFloat(textView, "y", textView.getY(), (float) random.nextInt(screenhgt)));
int Low = 1500;
int High = 2500;
int Result = random.nextInt(High - Low) + Low;
mAnimatorSet.setDuration(Result);
mAnimatorSet.start();
}
#Override
public void onAnimationCancel(Animator animation) {
}
#Override
public void onAnimationRepeat(Animator animation) {
}
});
}

Reversing an Animation

I have an ImageView that gets animated when it is added to a layout.
When it is removed, I want to reverse the same animation.
Is there a way to reverse an animation in android without recoding it and reversing the parameters?
No, sadly you cannot do it with the Animation object.
But you can simulate it using an interpolator that will inverse the animation:
package com.example.android;
import android.view.animation.Interpolator;
public class ReverseInterpolator implements Interpolator {
#Override
public float getInterpolation(float paramFloat) {
return Math.abs(paramFloat -1f);
}
}
Then on your animation you can set your new interpolator:
myAnimation.setInterpolator(new ReverseInterpolator());
If you are using Object or ValueAnimator to animate the view, you can simply do
ValueAnimator myAnimator = new ValueAnimator();
myAnimator.reverse()
Documentation can be found here.
Based on pcans idea, you can reverse any interpolator, not just linear.
class ReverseInterpolator implements Interpolator{
private final Interpolator delegate;
public ReverseInterpolator(Interpolator delegate){
this.delegate = delegate;
}
public ReverseInterpolator(){
this(new LinearInterpolator());
}
#Override
public float getInterpolation(float input) {
return 1 - delegate.getInterpolation(input);
}
}
Usage
ReverseInterpolator reverseInterpolator = new ReverseInterpolator(new AccelerateInterpolator())
myAnimation.setInterpolator(reverseInterpolator);
I have a similar approach to pcans buts slightly different. It takes an Interpolator and will effectively pass out values that would be the same as using the passed in Interpolator normally and then in REVERSE mode. Saves you having to think about the buggy implementations of Animation.REVERSE across Android. See the code here
public class ReverseInterpolator implements Interpolator {
private final Interpolator mInterpolator;
public ReverseInterpolator(Interpolator interpolator){
mInterpolator = interpolator;
}
#Override
public float getInterpolation(float input) {
return mInterpolator.getInterpolation(reverseInput(input));
}
/**
* Map value so 0-0.5 = 0-1 and 0.5-1 = 1-0
*/
private float reverseInput(float input){
if(input <= 0.5)
return input*2;
else
return Math.abs(input-1)*2;
}
}
Simplest solution i came up with
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<set xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:interpolator="#android:anim/linear_interpolator">
<alpha
android:duration="2000"
android:fromAlpha="0.1"
android:repeatCount="infinite"
android:repeatMode="reverse"
android:toAlpha="1.0">
</alpha>
</set>
You can make the code remember the original position and the end position. And let your code dynamically get those values when triggering animation.
If you are using animation from xml then an easy way is to made an exact same reverse animation to original animation. Add Animation.AnimationListener to original animation and in onAnimationEnd method start the reverse animation.
this worked for me
ObjectAnimator anim = ObjectAnimator.ofFloat(imageViewUpb, "rotation", rotationAngle, rotationAngle + 180);
if (linearLayoutb.getVisibility()==GONE){
linearLayoutb.setVisibility(VISIBLE);
anim.setDuration(500);
anim.start();
rotationAngle += 180;
rotationAngle = rotationAngle%360;
imageViewUpb.animate().rotation(rotationAngle).setDuration(500).start();
}else{
linearLayoutb.setVisibility(GONE);
anim.setDuration(500);
anim.start();
rotationAngle += 180;
rotationAngle = rotationAngle%180;
imageViewUpDownb.animate().rotation(rotationAngle).setDuration(500).start();
}
linearlayoutb is the view that expands when the imageviewUpb faces up
make int rotationAngle = 0; global parameter
You need to use RepeatCount and RepeatMode
kotlin
var anim = TranslateAnimation(0, 100, 0, 100)
anim.repeatCount = Animation.INFINITE // you cant 1,2,...
anim.repeatMode = Animation.REVERSE // you can set REVERSE or RESTART
anim.start()
Since other answers have already been answered in Java, I will answer in Kotlin
// code inside onViewCreated()
...
var anim: TranslateAnimation = TranslateAnimation(0F,60F,0F, 0F)
anim.duration = 3000
anim.fillAfter = true
anim.repeatCount = -1
anim.repeatMode = Animation.REVERSE // back and forth
binding.asteroid.startAnimation(anim)
...
This is the simplest approach in Kotlin.
