i need to cooperate with IOS developer. He does not know how Android work in layout system. He design a very dynamics UI. Please see my link.
[Link:] http://dl.dropbox.com/u/78582670/layoutdesign.png
Remarks: Orange rectangle mean image buttons.
In this layout, there exist two main views. For View 1, it is a list view. When clicking a item, a View 2 will animate. View 2 move from right to left. Also, it cover the View 1 a bit. After this translation finish, the orange Rect also animate. They move from bottom to the relative position.
I talk to them. If i do that design, the layout cannot be reused. Secondly, i don’t want to hard code for playing animation and the UI design.
They think everything is possible and easy to do = =|||.
If you are me, how do you design it?
Here is my solution, but View 2 cannot cover View 1.
public class EducationSystemActivity extends Activity
{
ImageButton mButton1 = null;
ImageButton mButton2 = null;
ImageButton mButton3 = null;
ImageButton mButton4 = null;
ImageButton mButton5 = null;
OnClickListener mImageButtonClickListner = new OnClickListener()
{
@Override
public void onClick(View v)
{
switch(v.getId()){
case R.id.imageButton1:{
Fragment fragment = new TestFragment2();
FragmentTransaction ft = getFragmentManager().beginTransaction();
ft.setCustomAnimations(R.animator.fragment_slide_left_enter,
R.animator.fragment_slide_left_exit,
R.animator.fragment_slide_right_enter,
R.animator.fragment_slide_right_exit);
ft.replace(R.id.fragment_content, fragment);
ft.addToBackStack(null);
ft.commit();
Toast.makeText(EducationSystemActivity.this, "Button1", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
break;
}
case R.id.imageButton2:{
Toast.makeText(EducationSystemActivity.this, "Button2", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
break;
}
case R.id.imageButton3:{
Toast.makeText(EducationSystemActivity.this, "Button3", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
break;
}
case R.id.imageButton4:{
Toast.makeText(EducationSystemActivity.this, "Button4", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
break;
}
case R.id.imageButton5:{
Toast.makeText(EducationSystemActivity.this, "Button5", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
break;
}
}
}
};
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.menu);
mButton1 = (ImageButton) findViewById(R.id.imageButton1);
mButton2 = (ImageButton) findViewById(R.id.imageButton2);
mButton3 = (ImageButton) findViewById(R.id.imageButton3);
mButton4 = (ImageButton) findViewById(R.id.imageButton4);
mButton5 = (ImageButton) findViewById(R.id.imageButton5);
mButton1.setOnClickListener(mImageButtonClickListner);
mButton2.setOnClickListener(mImageButtonClickListner);
mButton3.setOnClickListener(mImageButtonClickListner);
mButton4.setOnClickListener(mImageButtonClickListner);
mButton5.setOnClickListener(mImageButtonClickListner);
FragmentTransaction ft = getFragmentManager().beginTransaction();
ft.replace(R.id.fragment_content, new TestFragment1());
ft.commit();
}
}
TestFragment2:
public class TestFragment2 extends Fragment
{
LayoutInflater mInflater = null;
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
mInflater = (LayoutInflater) getActivity().getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
}
@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
Bundle savedInstanceState) {
Log.d("TestFragment1", "onCreateView");
return inflater.inflate(R.layout.test_fragment2, container, false);
}
@Override
public Animator onCreateAnimator(int transit, boolean enter, int nextAnim) {
Log.d("TestFragment2", "onCreateAnimator transit:" + transit + " enter:" + enter + " nextAnim:" + nextAnim);
Animator set = null;
if(enter){
set = AnimatorInflater.loadAnimator(this.getActivity(), R.animator.fragment_slide_left_enter);
set.addListener(new AnimatorListener()
{
@Override
public void onAnimationCancel(Animator animation)
{
}
@Override
public void onAnimationEnd(Animator animation)
{
Log.d("TestFragment2", "onAnimationEnd()");
addAnimationSubMenu();
}
@Override
public void onAnimationRepeat(Animator animation)
{
}
@Override
public void onAnimationStart(Animator animation)
{
Log.d("TestFragment2", "onAnimationStart()");
}
});
}
else{
set = AnimatorInflater.loadAnimator(this.getActivity(), R.animator.fragment_slide_left_exit);
}
return set;
}
private void addAnimationSubMenu()
{
ViewGroup submenu_frame = (ViewGroup) getActivity().findViewById(R.id.submenu_frame);
mInflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment1_submenu, submenu_frame, true);
View submenu_layout = getActivity().findViewById(R.id.submenu_layout);
Animation anim = AnimationUtils.loadAnimation(this.getActivity(), R.anim.slide_bottom_to_top);
submenu_layout.startAnimation(anim);
}
}
