I am trying to include a widget / view in my Android app that displays a number and when the number is incremented, the new number slides into view as if each digit was on a rolling dial. In the UK (at least), electricity meters work in this way. Examples would be:

See screenshots of http://www.appszoom.com/android_applications/lifestyle/using-the-power-meter-in-tokyo_vvfi.html
A Google image search for "android electricity meter view" also brings up some similar results.
On iOS, the Nike+ FuelBand app shows their fuel points on the same dial:
I'm not even sure I know what to call those things. I am told that they were originally called a "Digital Clock", but that is obviously not a good thing to search for. Does Android code exist for one somewhere already?
Otherwise I think I could create one by sliding Fragments in and out of view, perhaps using a ViewPager. Would this be a good way to go about this problem?
