Android Card flip Animation

Im trying to have a card flip animation between activities. I looked at the example given by google but i only got more confused on how it works. I want to be able to click a button and have the card flip animation between two activites. Is there any examples on how to do this using a button and two activities?

As per my knowledge,3D transitions are not supported by window manager.
Behind this there is a reason, that to achieve FLIP animation both views must be loaded to show mirror effect. While activities are stand alone processes in Android.
So If you want such animations better you use fragments rather activities.
But If you still want it with activities. Here is the alternative Click

You may again go through the developer site. They have used fragments. With the use of fragments it is easily achievable. You need a one activity and other fragments to achieve the desire functionality.

Android Ghost Layout on Activity Transition

I noticed something strange today and i'm not sure the best way to describe it.
I have two activities (A and B). I'm on A and start a new intent for B. I override the pending transition to be a slow slide up. This part is fine.
When B is sliding up I noticed that I can still tap on the screen where B's buttons would be and use their actions. (example, there is a close button to close B. When I tap on it's destination area it will close B even though it hasn't completely gone up).
My current solution is to disable all of the buttons until the animation is done. This is working fine, however I'd be interested to know if there is a better (more standard) solution. If anyone can explain (and confirm my suspicions) then that'd be a nice plus!

This is the expected behavior. Android is simply animating a transition and not actually moving the views from one physical location to another.

How to get iphone like animation for button in android

I saw one iphone application if the button is visible and we press cancel button then that button should gone. in that case there is animation "the button diposes from left to right and finally got vanished". In android i am able to rotate any view or move it from left to right. But how can i get the effect that the button destroy animation and make a button visible in that type of animation.
Thanks

I'm not sure that I fully understand what you're trying to do, but it seems like you want to fade the button as well as translating it. If that's the case, then you can use alpha animations to change the opacity of the button. By gradually reducing the alpha to 0, the button will appear to fade away.
I have recently completed a series on animations on my blog. It is probably best to read the articles in order starting with the first, but the final article covers animating individual widgets.

To get a general idea of animations in android, check out this awesome page on quick actions. There is plenty of code and working animations with different options so you can get a full tutorial of how they work.

flip activity in android

I'm developing an android application and I want flipping in my application (like iPhone).
When the user touches the screen and swipes left or right it should change the activity.
Does anyone have suggestions as to how I could implement this in code?

try this

I have another Solution:
If you want to flip not only one view but the whole screen with all views, you have only one possibility: you must use Fragment and flip them. For this use google solution: google example
So in your project use mix structure activities and fragments

Is there a flip animation available to use when transitioning between activities?

When transitioning between activities, such as calling startActivity(); or when using the back button, the screen slides in from the sides.
Is there any way to alter this? I have a flash-card like application, so when I move from activity A to activity B I would like the screen to flip over like turning a real flash card.
Is there any way to do this out of the box? Or does this require some custom animations?

Since Android 2.0 (API Level 5), you can use Activity.overridePendingTransition specify an explicit transition animation .
see http://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/Activity.html#overridePendingTransition(int, int)

As far as I know, the applications have no control over the transitions between their activities.
What you could do is merge the two activities using a custom ViewGroup that changes between the two Views using any animation you like. It's not trivial but should certainly be doable.
