I have code of normally zoom in and zoom out animation between two activities, but I want something different. I have five buttons on my first activity if I click on first button then zoom in would be starts from position of first button only instead of zooming from centre. Please help me.
EDIT : Zoom should start from the button I clicked as a centre.
You can use this method after running the command to start your new activity,
startActivity(intent);
overridePendingTransition(animation_in_goes_here,animation_out_goes_here);
Then you may replace your animations above, replacing the animation_in_goes_here
with the animation resource you need for the activity that you have newly started and replacing animation_out_goes_here
with the animation resource for the activity that you are leaving from. This will give you the switching effects.
zoom_in.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<set xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:fillAfter="true">
<scale
android:duration="1000"
android:fromXScale="1"
android:fromYScale="1"
android:pivotX="50%"
android:pivotY="50%"
android:toXScale="3"
android:toYScale="3"/>
</set>
zoom_out.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<set xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:fillAfter="true">
<scale
android:duration="1000"
android:fromXScale="1.0"
android:fromYScale="1.0"
android:pivotX="50%"
android:pivotY="50%"
android:toXScale="0.5"
android:toYScale="0.5"/>
</set>
Hope this helped to answer your question.
Zoom In
<scale xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:duration="1000"
android:fromXScale="0"
android:fromYScale="0"
android:pivotX="50%"
android:pivotY="50%"
android:toXScale="0.5"
android:toYScale="0.5">
</scale>
Zoom Out
<scale xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:duration="1000"
android:fromXScale="2.1"
android:fromYScale="2.1"
android:pivotX="50%"
android:pivotY="50%"
android:startOffset="3000"
android:toXScale="0"
android:toYScale="0">
</scale>
I think you have to
- Set "in" and "out" animations
- Create folder res/anim
Put animation descriptions into res/anim folder
object.setInAnimation(AnimationUtils.loadAnimation(this, R.anim.zoom_enter));
object.setOutAnimation(AnimationUtils.loadAnimation(this, R.anim.zoom_exit));
You can use android sdk sample animations supplied by google under Apache 2.0 licence
Or refer this which uses scaling based zooming which is easier than the former
