Android Flipboard animation

Question

I want to animate a Flipboard while changing views in Android.

Is it possible to animate a Flipboard on whole layout? Something similar to those letters on the picture but the whole layout.

For example:

<LinearLayout
       android:layout_width="fill_parent"
       android:layout_height="fill_parent">

// whole layout design

<LinearLayout/>

I would like to make an animation when changing this Layout and/or inflating another to do the Flipboard animation.

The animation should look exactly like this one

The answer of this Question is on GitHub. Very nice example provided by OpenAphid. Visit this link.

Use following Codes They are exactly for your requirement:

Class 1:

import android.graphics.Color;
import android.view.Display;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.WindowManager;
import android.view.animation.AccelerateInterpolator;
import android.view.animation.Animation;

    /**
     * A class that is responsible switching the mode with the flip animation 
     */

    public class ViewSwitcher {

        private final static int DURATION = 500;
        private final static float DEPTH = 400.0f;

        public interface AnimationFinishedListener {
            /**
             * Called when the animation is finished.
             */
            public void onAnimationFinished();
        }

        public static void animationIn(View container, WindowManager windowManager) {
            animationIn(container, windowManager, null);
        }

        public static void animationIn(View container, WindowManager windowManager, AnimationFinishedListener listener) {
            apply3DRotation(90, 0, false, container, windowManager, listener);
        }

        public static void animationOut(View container, WindowManager windowManager) {
            animationOut(container, windowManager, null);
        }

        public static void animationOut(View container, WindowManager windowManager, AnimationFinishedListener listener) {
            apply3DRotation(0, -90, true, container, windowManager, listener);
        }

        private static void apply3DRotation(float fromDegree, float toDegree, boolean reverse, View container, WindowManager windowManager, final AnimationFinishedListener listener) {
            Display display = windowManager.getDefaultDisplay();
            final float centerX = display.getWidth() / 2.0f;
            final float centerY = display.getHeight() / 2.0f;

            final Rotate3dAnimation a = new Rotate3dAnimation(fromDegree, toDegree, centerX, centerY, DEPTH, reverse);
            a.reset();
            a.setBackgroundColor(Color.WHITE);
            a.setDuration(DURATION);
            a.setFillAfter(true);
            a.setInterpolator(new AccelerateInterpolator());
            if (listener != null) {
                a.setAnimationListener(new Animation.AnimationListener() {
                    public void onAnimationStart(Animation animation) {
                    }

                    public void onAnimationRepeat(Animation animation) {
                    }

                    public void onAnimationEnd(Animation animation) {
                        listener.onAnimationFinished();
                    }
                });
            }
            if(container != null){
                container.clearAnimation();
                container.startAnimation(a);
            }
            else if (listener != null)
                listener.onAnimationFinished();
        }
    }

Class 3:

This Will be Your Actual activity where you should call following two calls to AnimationOut and AnimationIn with passing old view, new view respectively whenever you require to make your disered animation.

Now Call the animationOut with first argument as the Old view to be removed like below:

ViewSwitcher.animationOut(this.findViewById(android.R.id.content1), getWindowManager(), new ViewSwitcher.AnimationFinishedListener() {
            public void onAnimationFinished() {
            //Do Something here before removing this view from screen if required.
            }
        });

Now Call the animationIn with first argument as the new view to be shown like below:

ViewSwitcher.animationIn(this.findViewById(android.R.id.content2), this.getWindowManager());
