I'm looking for a simple animation example using the android SDK for displaying a little animation between views.
Basically when we have a list view and a detail view - lets have a 'transition' animation between them.
Thanks
ViewSwitcher supports all kind of Animation and is very easy to use.
You can use overridePendingTransition on API 5 and above. Alternatively, you could have a ViewFlipper, with the detail and list activity in one.

I am trying to implement an application intro something like in the attached gif.
I know Shared animation isn't supported in Viewpager but I really need to have something like that.
Any help would be appreciated.
One way would be to draw the animating view in top of view pager using framelayout. And then animate it using scale animation and translate animation when view pager moves..
I am answering my own question just to help others who are looking for the same.
I have found the library for such kind of animation. Below mentioned is the github link
https://github.com/IFTTT/SparkleMotion
However, I used the suggestion given by PrafulBhatnagar and used some overlay views while hiding the actual page views during the viewPager's scrolled/fling state.
In an android activity, I would like to have a view that can display different elements, sliding the screen like a carousel.
My question is what is the appropriate view for this work.
Horizontal ScrollView(http://developer.android.com/intl/es/reference/android/widget/HorizontalScrollView.html) is probably the simplest to implement, but I would suggest you to use a ViewPager (http://developer.android.com/intl/es/reference/android/support/v4/view/ViewPager.html)
Try ViewPager. This is the documentation http://developer.android.com/training/animation/screen-slide.html
I am trying to have a calendar flip animation on a view. I have looked many examples but i got more confused.
I need to create an animation - Flip a view and show another one.
If you want to implement a calendar flip animation in a flip card manner, you should try using this library.
https://github.com/emilsjolander/android-FlipView
It gives you a general way to do it. You can always extend it further to for finer implementations.
There is a standard ViewFlipper component in Android. It extends ViewAnimator so you should be able to animate it if it doesn't do that by default.
Just to notify that I've developed a new library FlipView that includes basic flip animation and extends ViewFlipper. I mean a fully customizable library where you will be able to swap any kind of views and layouts with any kind of animation and shapes you desire, included the Gmail image flipping.
It differs from the library provided by danialzahid94. Mine is just a simple View not a ListView. By the way at time i write, ListView has been replaced by RecyclerView.
Please have a look.
I want to scroll between views. Actually, I don't know what to use: HorizontalScrollView or Activities?
I want to slide between my layouts:
Am I need to implement GestureListener?
The problem with HorizontalScrollView is that I can't have more than 1 child.
Sounds like you're looking for a ViewPager, here's a description of them and a video of how it works - http://developer.android.com/training/animation/screen-slide.html
You'll have to use Fragments rather than Activities and if you want to do them on older versions of Android you'll need to use the support library.
you are looking for ViewPager, also have a look at this library
I am new to android therefore I got a little bit lost with all those ViewFlipper, ViewSwitcher, ViewAnimator and ViewPager. Moreover, I am not sure what's happening under the hood.
Basically I have an activity which shows some data. With swipe (or button, doesnt matter) I would like to scroll the view and get to another page (as seen in the picture below).
Is it possible to implement something like that without changing to another activity?
I am a little bit confused regarding views and access to the design elements. How those pages are located each to another? e.g. If I am currently seeing Page1, can I modify content of Page3? Or plainly saying, are all page views loaded all together? As if I set setContentView(R.layout.xlayout); then I can access only xlayout elements.
But if I use same activity, then I have a thread there which updates a counter on Page1, if I change view to Page 2, the counter will not find Page1 Counter TextView and will complain.
As I Understand Android 4.0 has ViewPager which is similar to the seen in the picture. I am using GB. Should I use support library or can I just go around and implement something similar without importing any libraries?
(Sorry, my description is a little bit messy)
Yes, you can use ViewSwitcher, ViewFlipper and ImageSwitcher depending on your requirements.
ViewSwitcher may have two childs at max. And these child might be a View or an object of subclass of view.
ViewFlipper: May have as many childs you want. and these child might be a View or an object of subclass of view.
ImageSwitcher might be used to switch images over.
By using view flipper you can display one item at a time, and adding a gesture overlay, you can apply sliding effect. To apply View Flipper, you need to add all the views to ViewFlipper, and showNext and showPrevious methods are used to show next and previous child.
You need to use a ViewPager to have the same behaviour as in Google Play.
it only available on recent version of Android, but you can use the Compatibility Package to make it available for older version.
With a ViewFlipper you can't "scroll" between two pages.
