Text in a spinner changes height and width selecting another item - Java for Android App Development

I wrote this code for an Android spinner:
Code:
<Spinner
android:id="@+id/lstCommunity"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignBottom="@+id/community_string"
android:layout_alignLeft="@+id/txtName"
android:layout_below="@+id/txtName"
android:minHeight="0dp"
android:textSize="10sp"
android:background="@drawable/box" />
But the text in the spinner changes its height and width after selecting another item in the list.
So, initially it is a bit smaller than the height and width of the spinner, after selecting another item, it becomes really bigger than the spinner's size.
How should i change my code?

1) Creare spinnertext.xml in res/layout
For example:
Code:
xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<TextView xmlns:android=
android:text="@+id/TextView01"
android:id="@+id/TextView01"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textSize="12sp"
android:textColor="#FFFFFFFF"
android:gravity="center"/>
2)Declare the spinner in the file main.xml (in res\layout), to manage its size :
Code:
<Spinner
android:id="@+id/spinner"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="32dip"
android:drawSelectorOnTop="true"
android:prompt="@string/spinner_prompt"
/>
3) Declare the spinner in the activity
Code:
Spinner s = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.spinner);
ArrayAdapter adapter = ArrayAdapter.createFromResource(this, R.array.sensors, R.layout.spinnertext);
adapter.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item);
s.setAdapter(adapter);
//when an item is selected call the selectSensor method
s.setOnItemSelectedListener(new OnItemSelectedListener() {
@Override
public void onItemSelected(AdapterView parent, View view, int position, long id) {
selectSensor(parent.getItemAtPosition(position));
}
@Override
public void onNothingSelected(AdapterView arg0) {
}
});
Notice the change in the createfromresource function.

[Q] Need help with discount calculator

I am a newbie in android dev.
I want to develop a very small and simple discount rate calculator.
in which there will be drop down menu with options like:
calculate 10%
calculate 20%
calculate 30%
Based on the selection of option from the drop down menu the discount rate should change.
After selection, there will be a textbox which should ask user to enter price.
and on the click even of "Calculate" button, the resultant amount (discounted rate) should be displayed.
I guess it is very simple for you guys. If anyone can help me with the code, i will deeply appreciate.
thank you
ok this is what I have done till now:
I created an Android Project names as :MyDC
MyDC.java
Code:
package com.super.mydc;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.EditText;
import android.widget.TextView;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.view.View;
public class MyDC extends Activity {
private EditText amount1;
private double x=0;
private double y=2.0;
private double z=0;
private TextView tt;
private Button calculate;
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle icicle) {
super.onCreate(icicle);
// We want to view some very simple text, so we need a TextView
TextView tv = new TextView(this);
// Put some text to the newly created TextVIew
tv.setText("Test");
// Tell our Application to display the textView
this.setContentView(tv);
super.onCreate(icicle);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
initControls();
}
private void initControls()
{
amount1=(EditText)findViewById(R.id.amount1);
tt=(TextView)findViewById(R.id.tt);
calculate=(Button)findViewById(R.id.calculate);
calculate.setOnClickListener(new Button.OnClickListener()
{public void onClick
(View v) { calculate();}});
}
private void calculate()
{
x=Double.parseDouble(amount1.getText().toString());
z=x-(x*y/100);
tt.setText(Double.toString(z));
}
}
This is main.xml
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"

android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Enter the price"
/>
<EditText android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:id="@+id/amount1" android:text="" android:layout_width="match_parent"></EditText>
<Button android:text="Calculate Result" android:id="@+id/calculate" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content"></Button>
<EditText android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:id="@+id/tt" android:text="" android:layout_width="match_parent"></EditText>
</LinearLayout>
This is string.xml
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
<string name="hello">Hi, MyDC!</string>
<string name="app_name">My, DC</string>
<string name="spinner1">Choose discount type</string>
</resources>
This is what I am able to get:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I am able to calculate discount on the button click, BUT i have hardcoded the discount rate.
I want to select discount rate based on the dropdown menu (I don't know how to set dropdown values with different discount rate in this problem)
In the dropdown menu I would like to have values like this:
Type 1 discount
Type 2 discount
Type 3 discount
Here is the respective discount rate for the above drop-down values:
Type 1 discount - 10%
Type 2 discount - 15%
Type 3 discount - 18%

Anyone ? Please Help ?
Im sorry to not be of very much help I studied java as a highschool unfortunately it was senior year and I am good at slacking. I would like to add suggestions though. first off i would try to find someway of implementing a way to get closer increments such as 5 or 1 %. such as a text box. let me sift through your code and see what i can see. are you having specific errors or what. we need some info.
Ok i looked at your code and im having a hard time reading it just because it isnt the norm that I look at. first off ya need to name your variables more recognizable things then x and y. that will make coding immensely more easy. also I am not seeing where you gathered the information from the drop down or spinner. at some point in the code you have to collect the information from the drop down or spinner and use it for the percent. also i didn't see any point where you gave the drop down any values. if you have any questions or anything feel free to pm I have xda app on my phone so even if not im not online ill get a notification on my phone.

Hi,
Yes, I know I haven't defined values to drop down because that is the thing I need help with.
I also posted above this:
"Now the question is how to select discount rate based on selected value from spinner.
PLZ HELP ME WITH THE CODE"
I need help - How to define discount rate based on selection of drop down values.
Please help me with the code....
I also tried doing this quite awhile with an app I was writing and then discovered I had not enough experience to with the android system to write the program I should look it up and fix both of our programs but I've had a migraine for days and I'm just getting close to sleeping but when I get a chance I will look up giving values to the drop down and collecting them unless you want to google it first.
Sent from my Synergized xda Premium Evo
I have tried to find the solution on google but didn't get anything but somehow from google I was able to do (whatever I did above)
thanks, I think that would be great, if you can test my program on your side by that we both will be on the same page.
That's fine, you can test it whenever you get some time.
I appreciate your help!
I would setup radio buttons for the discount percentages
0 10% 0 20% etc.
Name each radio button and use a case statement to set a float to it's value:
switch(radioGroupName) {
case 10Percent:
int discountValue = .10
break;
...
Then do something like:
int discountedAmount = usersAmount - (usersAmount * discountValue);
Try this code.

Re: Need Help
Hello nemoc 23 ,
Firstly thank you very much for replying back with a solution.
It did work and solved my problem upto some extend.
Now what I only want 2 things to be done:
1) Right now, if we enter price in decimal or anything, if the final result is in decimal, it is being displayed as EXACT something like 99.9999999
How to limit the RESULT upto 2 decimal points only ?
2) What I am trying to do is to have this calculator on 3 different pages (in each page I will just modify the discounted rate). So I want a homepage (which will work as MENU) with 3 or 4 buttons and each button should be connected with specific page that will have ITS OWN above discount calculator.
Could you please show me how to create a homepage screen (which will work as MENU) and 3 or 4 buttons on it which are linked with different pages (in each page you can copy the same above calculator and I will modify the rate by myself)
thank you
Why 3 pages? Just do this:
Enter discount amount: ___________
Enter discount rate:______
Discounted Amount: ___________
Easy peasy.

Hello nemoc 23 ,
Just giving you an update. I did try the tutorial you asked me to try. I am having some problem in it which you can see here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=15612542
Coming back my question (this calculator topic) - I created a screen layout to give you an idea what I want to do and need your help with.
This is what I want to do:
In this each button click will open separate page (or I guess it is called activity). I have mentioned on button what each button will open.
Please help me. thanks
Intent i = new Intent(this, calculator1.class);
startActivity(i);
You are still better off creating just ONE new Activity and passing to it which calculator you want to run. It is poor programming to code 3 activities when one will suffice. You'll need "extras" to do this.

**Please help me!!!**
You got a couple options. First instead of the startActivity() throw in a Toast so you can see if your onClick() is ok. You can also throw some inline clicklisteners (anonymous inner class) inside the setOnClickListener() instead of using 'this'. I find that way is a bit easier to organize.
Annd might I suggest you follow the Java guidelines for capitalisation of class names. Its confusing when reading your code and seeing testcalculator.class when usually instances of objects are lower case while the class name is capitalized. Like TestCalculator.class

How to set the background of an activity

Ok so im just practising my android skills. What I did was basically make an app that lets the user choose what image to set as the wallpaper or the background of the app.
Ive set the wallpaper up but couldnt find a way to setting the background up for the app/activity.

I dont know what methods to use. I was thinking of setting up individual pictures as the layouts (so I'd have 5 extra layouts since I have 5 pictures), but that wouldn't make any sense.
You need to give your linearlayout an id and then find the view by normal ways and use:
yourLayout.setBackgroundDrawable(Drawable d);
Code:
LinearLayout linLay = (LinearLayout) findViewById(R.id.theLinearLayoutId);
//set background to a color
linLay.setBackgroundColor("#404040");
//set background to a drawable
linLay.setBackgroundDrawable(drawableItem);
//set background to a resource
linLay.setBackgroundResource(R.id.backgroundResource);
Or just
Code:
getWindow().getDecorView().setBackgroundDrawable(*yourDrawable*);
After setContentView
Thanks for your help guys. I followed Chris95x8's advice since its only one line of code and really, who can deny one line of code??
Anyways, took a few tries to make it work but finally did it. I put that statement after the set content view but got errors and plus that statement is deprecated so I used this methd:
getWindow().getDecorView().setBackgroundResource();
I just pasted it into the switch statement I created earlier:
case R.id.bkgbutton:
getWindow().getDecorView().setBackgroundResource(tophone);
break;
Whilst I was at it, created a few toasts letting the user know the background/wallpaper has been set.
One thing I dont understand, what does it mean by context? For example, when using the toast method:
Toast df = Toast.makeText(context, text, duration)
What does the context mean in the bracket/parenthesis ?

Stackview Widget - Items not loading

I've tried to create simple dialer widget that will get contacts from contact book, put them into stackview and when clicked create a popup where you can call or create a message. I worked well as an application, but when I turned it into actual widget, I've encountered something weird. Despite all the methods firing, the items are not updated and stay on loading layout.
I've compared it to the example, tried to switch parts of code and nothing works. Even funnier, my code works perfectly when I put it in example widget, but example code doesn't work in mine. The same thing happens for listview and gridview. Is there any other file I should edit?
I provide the code, layouts and manifest. Logcat shows all methods firing in right order, so there's nothing to see there.
WidgetProvider.java
Code:
public class WidgetProvider extends AppWidgetProvider {
@Override
public void onUpdate(Context context, AppWidgetManager appWidgetManager,
int[] appWidgetIds){
Log.d("WIDGET", "Called onUpdate()");
for (int i = 0; i < appWidgetIds.length; ++i){
// Set up the intent that starts the StackViewService, which will
// provide the views for this collection.
Intent intent = new Intent(context, WidgetService.class);
// Add the app widget ID to the intent extras.
intent.putExtra(AppWidgetManager.EXTRA_APPWIDGET_ID, appWidgetIds[i]);
intent.setData(Uri.parse(intent.toUri(Intent.URI_INTENT_SCHEME)));
// Instantiate the RemoteViews object for the app widget layout.
RemoteViews rv = new RemoteViews(context.getPackageName(), R.layout.main);
rv.setRemoteAdapter(R.id.stackView, intent);
rv.setEmptyView(R.id.stackView, R.id.emptyView);

[Q] Help needed display fragment with listadapter properly...

Hi guys, I am new to android development and I'm having a little trouble working with a list in fragment.
This is what I'm trying to achieve:
------------------
frag 1
------------------
frag 2 <-- list is here
-----------------
frag 3
-----------------
The list displays 3 strings in one row. This is my fragment code: ( the CustomListViewAdapter is implemented in another file called CustomListViewAdapter.java)
Code:
public class ListActivity extends Fragment{
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
FragmentManager fm = getFragmentManager();
if (fm.findFragmentById(android.R.id.content) == null) {
DataListFragment list = new DataListFragment();
fm.beginTransaction().add(android.R.id.content, list).commit();
}
}
public static class DataListFragment extends ListFragment implements
LoaderManager.LoaderCallbacks<List<Model>> {
CustomListViewAdapter mAdapter;
@Override
public void onActivityCreated(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onActivityCreated(savedInstanceState);
System.out.println("DataListFragment.onActivityCreated");
// Initially there is no data
setEmptyText("No Data Here");
// Create an empty adapter we will use to display the loaded data.
mAdapter = new CustomListViewAdapter(getActivity());
setListAdapter(mAdapter);
// Start out with a progress indicator.
setListShown(false);
}
@Override
public Loader<List<Model>> onCreateLoader(int arg0, Bundle arg1) {
return new DataListLoader(getActivity());
}
}
public static class DataListLoader extends AsyncTaskLoader<List<Model>> {
List<Model> mModels;
public DataListLoader(Context context) {
super(context);
}
@Override
public List<Model> loadInBackground() {
System.out.println("DataListLoader.loadInBackground");
List<Model> entries = new ArrayList<Model>(5);
entries.add(new Model("1", "a","3:48"));
entries.add(new Model("2", "b","4:02"));
entries.add(new Model("3", "c","3:48"));
entries.add(new Model("4", "d","3:52"));
entries.add(new Model("5", "e","3:44"));
return entries;
}
@Override public void deliverResult(List<Model> listOfData) {
...
}
@Override protected void onStartLoading() {
...
}
protected void onReleaseResources(List<Model> apps) {}
}
The 3 fragments are added programmatically in the main activity. MainActivity.java
The problem I am facing is that once the code runs, this fragment 2 overlaps the fragment 1 (both are still visible) that was supposed to be above it. How do I resolve this issue? Please help me figure this out! I believe I'm doing something wrong while adding this fragment.
This is the mainactivity.java
Code:
public class MainActivity extends Activity{
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState){
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main_layout);
FragmentManager fragmentManager = getFragmentManager();
FragmentTransaction fragmentTransaction = fragmentManager.beginTransaction();
fragmentTransaction.add(R.id.info_fragment, new InfoActivity());//frag 1
fragmentTransaction.add(R.id.list_fragment, new listActivity()); // frag 2
fragmentTransaction.add(R.id.controls_fragment, new ControlsActivity()); //frag 3
fragmentTransaction.commit();
}
}

The layout and views along with the layoutParams control how it looks, the fragments just nest inside the views, that you reference with your resource idents, so however it looks is probably based of the layout or layout parameters that are set in the xml layout

I doubt there is any problem with the xml layout. Here is the main layout file:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http//schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="@+id/linlayname"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<FrameLayout
android:id="@+id/info_fragment"
android:layout_weight="3"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp" >
</FrameLayout>
<FrameLayout
android:id="@+id/list_fragment"
android:layout_weight="4"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp" >
</FrameLayout>
<FrameLayout
android:id="@+id/controls_fragment"
android:layout_weight="2"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp" >
</FrameLayout>
</LinearLayout>
And this is the list xml:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http//schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<ListView
android:id="@android:id/list"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
</ListView>
</LinearLayout>

Are you sure you are using android:layout_weight properly ?
It would first occur to me that not all the views (3 that contain the fragments) should/would be variable ... but it suggests they are ? weight is of the unused remainder space, so I would maybe suggest a weight of 0,1,0 meaning the 1st and last you set to wrap_content and they are variable based on content... the middle using a weight of 1 uses any space remaining
so
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http//schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="@+id/linlayname"
android:layout_width="match_parent"

Yes that is the way I want it laid out, it looks better now, but the main problem still remains. The listActivity (the middle fragment) starts from the top of the screen and overlaps the first fragment (first one is visible under the list).I think I am adding the fragment at the wrong place?

BTW I think I have flu atm (or a man cold, either way it would kill a woman) so double check whatever I say
Erm, not sure what your doing with ListActivity onCreate() your doing fragment transactions in there ? But will it not always be null when loading anything ? onCreateView() is where it would return the new view to the fragmentManager for attaching... so when it does the transaction in ListActivity your also using android.R.id.content which is a base id for the area that an app runs in (also happens to be a frameLayout) which is what you problem is... personally I would think and design out of this problem a little different ... if you want a chat hit me up on hangouts, happy to help!

listView Resize animation

I have this custom listView:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<TableRow
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:id="@+id/tableRow">
<ImageView
android:id="@+id/img"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:src="@drawable/ic_launcher"
android:contentDescription="@string/imdDesc" />
<TextView
android:id="@+id/titleList"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:textSize="25sp"
android:autoText="false"
android:gravity="center_vertical|center|center_horizontal" />
</TableRow>
This adapter:
public class CustomList extends ArrayAdapter<String> {
private final Activity context;
private final String[] title;
private final int[] colors;
private final Integer[] imageId;
public CustomList(Activity context,String[] title,int[] colors, Integer[] imageId) {
super(context, R.layout.list_single, title);
this.context = context;
this.title = title;
this.imageId = imageId;
this.colors=colors;
}
@override
public View getView(int position, View view, ViewGroup parent) {
LayoutInflater inflater = context.getLayoutInflater();
View rowView= inflater.inflate(R.layout.list_single, null, true);
TextView txtTitle = (TextView) rowView.findViewById(R.id.titleList);
ImageView imageView = (ImageView) rowView.findViewById(R.id.img);
txtTitle.setText(title[position]);
txtTitle.setTextColor(Color.parseColor("#FFffffff"));
txtTitle.setBackgroundColor(colors[position]);
imageView.setImageResource(imageId[position]);
return rowView;
}
}
and this is how I bind them:
final CustomList adapter = new
CustomList(MainActivity.this, title, colors, imageId);
list = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.list);
list.setAdapter(adapter);
My list has 12 items. I need to resize the list when user click one item. If the user choses an Item for the first time, the list has to change its width to 1/3 of its original size and to double the height of the selected item. If an item is already selected in the list and the user selects another the old item has to go back to the original height and the new selected one has to double its height without any width changes.
I want to animate all the resizing for nice looking.
This is the animation for changing width:
public class ShrinkList extends Animation
{
int fromWidth;
View view;
int def;
public ShrinkList(View view) {
this.view = view;
this.fromWidth = view.getWidth();
def=fromWidth/3;
}
@override
public boolean willChangeBounds() {
return true;
}
@override
public void initialize(int width, int height, int parentWidth,
int parentHeight) {
super.initialize(width, height, parentWidth, parentHeight);
}
@override
protected void applyTransformation(float interpolatedTime, Transformation t) {
int newWidth;
newWidth = (int) ((def - fromWidth) * interpolatedTime + fromWidth);
if (newWidth > def/3) {
view.getLayoutParams().width = newWidth;
view.requestLayout();
}
else{
view.getLayoutParams().width = def/3;
view.requestLayout();
}
}
}
and this one is for changing height:
public class Grow extends Animation
{
int fromHeight;
View view;
int defaultHeight;
public Grow(View view,int height) {
this.view = view;
this.fromHeight = view.getHeight();
defaultHeight=height;
}
@override
public boolean willChangeBounds() {
return true;
}
@override
public void initialize(int width, int height, int parentWidth,
int parentHeight) {
super.initialize(width, height, parentWidth, parentHeight);
}
@override
protected void applyTransformation(float interpolatedTime, Transformation t) {
int newHeight;
newHeight = (int) (fromHeight / (1 - interpolatedTime));
if (newHeight < defaultHeight * 2) {
view.getLayoutParams().height = newHeight;
view.requestLayout();
}
else{
view.getLayoutParams().height = defaultHeight*2;
view.requestLayout();
}
}
}
and I play them like that:
if(h==0) { //first time the user selects an item =>change width and height
Animation a = new ShrinkList(list);
a.setInterpolator(new LinearInterpolator());
a.setDuration(1000);
list.setAnimation(a);
list.startAnimation(a);
}
Animation a1 = new Grow(view,height); //change only height
a1.setInterpolator(new LinearInterpolator());
a1.setDuration(300);
view.setAnimation(a1);
view.startAnimation(a1);
My problem is that when the list changes its width, the animation is not smooth at all and it only changes the width, not the height too.
How can I make the animation smoother and make the two animations play at once?
I have tried scaling the list, but that scales all the list. basically I need only to resize the textView within ListView nd changing layoutParams does that.
I have tried to insert the code from Grow.java into ShrinkList.Java in orefer to play both animations once and it only played the one from Grow.java.

I have this custom listView:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<TableRow
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:id="@+id/tableRow">
<ImageView
android:id="@+id/img"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:src="@drawable/ic_launcher"
android:contentDescription="@string/imdDesc" />
<TextView
android:id="@+id/titleList"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:textSize="25sp"
android:autoText="false"
android:gravity="center_vertical|center|center_horizontal" />
</TableRow>
This adapter:
public class CustomList extends ArrayAdapter<String> {
private final Activity context;
private final String[] title;
private final int[] colors;
private final Integer[] imageId;
public CustomList(Activity context,String[] title,int[] colors, Integer[] imageId) {
super(context, R.layout.list_single, title);
this.context = context;
this.title = title;
this.imageId = imageId;
this.colors=colors;
}
@override
public View getView(int position, View view, ViewGroup parent) {
LayoutInflater inflater = context.getLayoutInflater();
View rowView= inflater.inflate(R.layout.list_single, null, true);
TextView txtTitle = (TextView) rowView.findViewById(R.id.titleList);
ImageView imageView = (ImageView) rowView.findViewById(R.id.img);
txtTitle.setText(title[position]);
txtTitle.setTextColor(Color.parseColor("#FFffffff"));
txtTitle.setBackgroundColor(colors[position]);
imageView.setImageResource(imageId[position]);
return rowView;
}
}
and this is how I bind them:
final CustomList adapter = new
CustomList(MainActivity.this, title, colors, imageId);
list = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.list);
list.setAdapter(adapter);
My list has 12 items. I need to resize the list when user click one item. If the user choses an Item for the first time, the list has to change its width to 1/3 of its original size and to double the height of the selected item. If an item is already selected in the list and the user selects another the old item has to go back to the original height and the new selected one has to double its height without any width changes.
I want to animate all the resizing for nice looking.
This is the animation for changing width:
public class ShrinkList extends Animation
{
int fromWidth;
View view;
int def;
public ShrinkList(View view) {
this.view = view;
this.fromWidth = view.getWidth();
def=fromWidth/3;
}
@override
public boolean willChangeBounds() {
return true;
}
@override
public void initialize(int width, int height, int parentWidth,
int parentHeight) {
super.initialize(width, height, parentWidth, parentHeight);
}
@override
protected void applyTransformation(float interpolatedTime, Transformation t) {
int newWidth;
newWidth = (int) ((def - fromWidth) * interpolatedTime + fromWidth);
if (newWidth > def/3) {
view.getLayoutParams().width = newWidth;
view.requestLayout();
}
else{
view.getLayoutParams().width = def/3;
view.requestLayout();
}
}
}
and this one is for changing height:
public class Grow extends Animation
{
int fromHeight;
View view;
int defaultHeight;
public Grow(View view,int height) {
this.view = view;
this.fromHeight = view.getHeight();
defaultHeight=height;
}
@override
public boolean willChangeBounds() {
return true;
}
@override
public void initialize(int width, int height, int parentWidth,
int parentHeight) {
super.initialize(width, height, parentWidth, parentHeight);
}
@override
protected void applyTransformation(float interpolatedTime, Transformation t) {
int newHeight;
newHeight = (int) (fromHeight / (1 - interpolatedTime));
if (newHeight < defaultHeight * 2) {
view.getLayoutParams().height = newHeight;
view.requestLayout();
}
else{
view.getLayoutParams().height = defaultHeight*2;
view.requestLayout();
}
}
}
and I play them like that:
if(h==0) { //first time the user selects an item =>change width and height
Animation a = new ShrinkList(list);
a.setInterpolator(new LinearInterpolator());
a.setDuration(1000);
list.setAnimation(a);
list.startAnimation(a);
}
Animation a1 = new Grow(view,height); //change only height
a1.setInterpolator(new LinearInterpolator());
a1.setDuration(300);
view.setAnimation(a1);
view.startAnimation(a1);

Do it like this
Code:
<RelativeLayout
android:id="@+id/myRelativeLayout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
[B]android:animateLayoutChanges="true"[/B]
<ListView
android:id="@+id/myListView"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
[B]android:animateLayoutChanges="true"[/B]/>
</RelativeLayout>
Then you only need to change the width and height. And you don't have to worry about the animation

I have tried what you suggested and the relative layout works great, but the list doesn't animate when it changes its witdh

You should add the animate layout changes to the first parent with match_parent as width

I created a relative layout as in your example and added animate layout changes to both the listview and that layout and changed the witth of the layout and it doesn't animate the list getting smaller. Only the next relative layout getting bigger after the list is small

Okey. AnimateLayoutChanges applies to the chields. So if you want to animate the relative layout the listview is in. You need to add animateLayoutChanges to his parent

I added animate layout changes to all the listView ancestors and it still doesn't animate the listView.
This is the java code for changing width. Maybe I doing something wrong here:
RelativeLayout.LayoutParams lp = (RelativeLayout.LayoutParams) linLay.getLayoutParams();
if(sdkVersion>=Build.VERSION_CODES.HONEYCOMB) {
Display display = getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay();
Point size = new Point();
display.getSize(size);
lp.width =size.x/3;
}
else{
Display display = getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay();
lp.width = display.getWidth()/3;
}
linLay.setLayoutParams(lp); //linLay is the listView parrent and is a relativeLayout

You have to set the animateLayoutChanges to the paretn of linLay

Yes, I have already done that.As I said, I added animate layout changes to all of the listview ancestosr meaning linLay, parent of linLay, parent of parent of linLay and so on until the root of layouts, but the listView still doesn't animate
