I'm implementing an Animation for one menu in my project.
The animation itself is ok, the menu enters and exit just as I wanted: Slide from left to right and right to left, however...
If the entire view is OUT of the screen, then it NEVER comes back egain! If, at least one pixel is still inside the screen, then it comes back normally.
I belive that Android is disposing the layout, and not caring about it after out of the screen bounds. I tried to place a setVisibility(VISIBLE) but it also didn't worked.
Here is the code:
public class ChwaziMenuAnimation extends Animation{
float posStart = 0;
float posTarget = 100;
int getCurrentPosition(){
RelativeLayout.LayoutParams rootParam =
(RelativeLayout.LayoutParams) rootView.getLayoutParams();
return rootParam.leftMargin;
}
public void setTarget(float target){
// Save current position
posStart = getCurrentPosition();
posTarget = target;
}
@Override
protected void applyTransformation(float interpolatedTime, Transformation t) {
RelativeLayout.LayoutParams rootParam =
(RelativeLayout.LayoutParams) rootView.getLayoutParams();
// Calculate current position
rootParam.leftMargin = (int) ((posTarget - posStart) * interpolatedTime + posStart);
rootView.setLayoutParams(rootParam);
}
/*
* Since we will be animating the margin, the bounds will always change
*/
public boolean willChangeBounds() {
return true;
};
};
And how I initialize the animation:
public void appear(){
Log.i(TAG, "appear");
menuAnimation.setTarget(0);
menuAnimation.setDuration(750);
rootView.clearAnimation();
rootView.startAnimation(menuAnimation);
}
public void disapear(){
Log.i(TAG, "disapear");
menuAnimation.setTarget(-400);
menuAnimation.setDuration(750);
rootView.startAnimation(menuAnimation);
}
