I'm trying to do some color animation on the action bar by using a TransitionDrawable.
The code I'm trying is pretty simple, during onCreate, I put the transition drawable as the actionbar background:
Drawable d = getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.actionbar);
actionbarDrawable = new TransitionDrawable(new Drawable[] { d, d });
getActionBar().setBackgroundDrawable(actionbarDrawable);
then on the event I replace the second drawable of the TransitionDrawable and ask to animate it.
actionbarDrawable.setDrawableByLayerId(1, d);
actionbarDrawable.startTransition(666);
I've tried the same code on a RelativeLayout on my activity and it seems to work fine, any ideas why the ActionBar doesn't want to cooperate and how to make it work?
thanks.
