Android: Expand/collapse animation

Question

Let's say I have a vertical linearLayout with :

[v1]
[v2]

By default v1 has visibily = GONE. I would like to show v1 with an expand animation and push down v2 at the same time.

I tried something like this:

Animation a = new Animation()
{
    int initialHeight;

    @Override
    protected void applyTransformation(float interpolatedTime, Transformation t) {
        final int newHeight = (int)(initialHeight * interpolatedTime);
        v.getLayoutParams().height = newHeight;
        v.requestLayout();
    }

    @Override
    public void initialize(int width, int height, int parentWidth, int parentHeight) {
        super.initialize(width, height, parentWidth, parentHeight);
        initialHeight = height;
    }

    @Override
    public boolean willChangeBounds() {
        return true;
    }
};

But with this solution, I have a blink when the animation starts. I think it's caused by v1 displaying full size before the animation is applied.

With javascript, this is one line of jQuery! Any simple way to do this with android?

Best solution for expand/collapse view's:

    @Override
    public void onCheckedChanged(CompoundButton buttonView, boolean isChecked) {
        View view = buttonView.getId() == R.id.tb_search ? fSearch : layoutSettings;
        transform(view, 200, isChecked
            ? ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT
            : 0);
    }

    public static void transform(final View v, int duration, int targetHeight) {
        int prevHeight  = v.getHeight();
        v.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
        ValueAnimator animator;
        if (targetHeight == ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT) {
            v.measure(ViewGroup.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
            animator = ValueAnimator.ofInt(prevHeight, v.getMeasuredHeight());
        } else {
            animator = ValueAnimator.ofInt(prevHeight, targetHeight);
        }
        animator.addUpdateListener(animation -> {
            v.getLayoutParams().height = (animation.getAnimatedFraction() == 1.0f)
                    ? targetHeight
                    : (int) animation.getAnimatedValue();
            v.requestLayout();
        });
        animator.setInterpolator(new LinearInterpolator());
        animator.setDuration(duration);
        animator.start();
    }

Answer 2

Based on solutions by @Tom Esterez and @Seth Nelson (top 2) I simlified them. As well as original solutions it doesn't depend on Developer options (animation settings).

private void resizeWithAnimation(final View view, int duration, final int targetHeight) {
    final int initialHeight = view.getMeasuredHeight();
    final int distance = targetHeight - initialHeight;

    Animation a = new Animation() {
        @Override
        protected void applyTransformation(float interpolatedTime, Transformation t) {
            if (interpolatedTime == 1 && targetHeight == 0) {
                view.setVisibility(View.GONE);
            } else {
                view.getLayoutParams().height = (int) (initialHeight + distance * interpolatedTime);
                view.requestLayout();
            }
        }

        @Override
        public boolean willChangeBounds() {
            return true;
        }
    };

    a.setDuration(duration);
    view.startAnimation(a);
}

If you don't want to expand or collapse all the way - here is a simple HeightAnimation -

import android.view.View;
import android.view.animation.Animation;
import android.view.animation.Transformation;

public class HeightAnimation extends Animation {
    protected final int originalHeight;
    protected final View view;
    protected float perValue;

    public HeightAnimation(View view, int fromHeight, int toHeight) {
        this.view = view;
        this.originalHeight = fromHeight;
        this.perValue = (toHeight - fromHeight);
    }

    @Override
    protected void applyTransformation(float interpolatedTime, Transformation t) {
        view.getLayoutParams().height = (int) (originalHeight + perValue * interpolatedTime);
        view.requestLayout();
    }

    @Override
    public boolean willChangeBounds() {
        return true;
    }
}

Usage:

HeightAnimation heightAnim = new HeightAnimation(view, view.getHeight(), viewPager.getHeight() - otherView.getHeight());
heightAnim.setDuration(1000);
view.startAnimation(heightAnim);

You can use a ViewPropertyAnimator with a slight twist. To collapse, scale the view to a height of 1 pixel, then hide it. To expand, show it, then expand it to its height.

private void collapse(final View view) {
    view.setPivotY(0);
    view.animate().scaleY(1/view.getHeight()).setDuration(1000).withEndAction(new Runnable() {
        @Override public void run() {
            view.setVisibility(GONE);
        }
    });
}

private void expand(View view, int height) {
    float scaleFactor = height / view.getHeight();

    view.setVisibility(VISIBLE);
    view.setPivotY(0);
    view.animate().scaleY(scaleFactor).setDuration(1000);
}

The pivot tells the view where to scale from, default is in the middle. The duration is optional (default = 1000). You can also set the interpolator to use, like .setInterpolator(new AccelerateDecelerateInterpolator())

Answer 5

This is a snippet that I used to resize the width of a view (LinearLayout) with animation.

The code is supposed to do expand or shrink according the target size. If you want a fill_parent width, you will have to pass the parent .getMeasuredWidth as target width while setting the flag to true.

Hope it helps some of you.

public class WidthResizeAnimation extends Animation {
int targetWidth;
int originaltWidth;
View view;
boolean expand;
int newWidth = 0;
boolean fillParent;

public WidthResizeAnimation(View view, int targetWidth, boolean fillParent) {
    this.view = view;
    this.originaltWidth = this.view.getMeasuredWidth();
    this.targetWidth = targetWidth;
    newWidth = originaltWidth;
    if (originaltWidth > targetWidth) {
        expand = false;
    } else {
        expand = true;
    }
    this.fillParent = fillParent;
}

@Override
protected void applyTransformation(float interpolatedTime, Transformation t) {
    if (expand && newWidth < targetWidth) {
        newWidth = (int) (newWidth + (targetWidth - newWidth) * interpolatedTime);
    }

    if (!expand && newWidth > targetWidth) {
        newWidth = (int) (newWidth - (newWidth - targetWidth) * interpolatedTime);
    }
    if (fillParent && interpolatedTime == 1.0) {
        view.getLayoutParams().width = -1;

    } else {
        view.getLayoutParams().width = newWidth;
    }
    view.requestLayout();
}

@Override
public void initialize(int width, int height, int parentWidth, int parentHeight) {
    super.initialize(width, height, parentWidth, parentHeight);
}

@Override
public boolean willChangeBounds() {
    return true;
}

}
