Answer 1

Your problem is that when you refer to this in your OnClickListener your are referring to that particular listener and not to your current Activity. You should change it to

 final Animation out= AnimationUtils.loadAnimation(image_slider.this, android.R.anim.slide_out_right); 
 final Animation in= AnimationUtils.loadAnimation(image_slider.this, android.R.anim.slide_in_left);
 ...
 imageSwitcher.setFactory(image_slider.this);

And use android.R.anim.slide_in_left and android.R.anim.slide_out_right not slide_out_left and “slide_in_right” because these don’t exist.

BTW, good Java practice is to start your class name with a capital letter, e.g. ImageSlider
