+ <p>
+ Crossfade animations (also know as dissolve) gradually fade out one UI component while simultaneously fading in
+ another. This animation is useful for situations where you want to switch content or views
+ in your app. Crossfades are very subtle and short but offer a fluid transition from one screen to the
+ next. When you don't use them, however, transitions often feel abrupt or hurried.
+ </p>
+ <p>Here's an example of a crossfade from a progress indicator to some text content.
+ </p>
+
+<div class="framed-galaxynexus-land-span-8">
+ <video class="play-on-hover" autoplay>
+ <source src="anim_crossfade.mp4" type="video/mp4">
+ <source src="anim_crossfade.webm" type="video/webm">

+ If you want to jump ahead and see a full working example,
+ <a href="{@docRoot}shareables/training/Animations.zip">download</a>
+ and run the sample app and select the Crossfade example.
+ See the following files for the code implementation:
+ </p>
+ <ul>
+ <li>
+ <code>src/CrossfadeActivity.java</code>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <code>layout/activity_crossfade.xml</code>
+ </li>

+ <code>menu/activity_crossfade.xml</code>
+ </li>
+ </ul>
+ <h2 id="views">
+ Create the Views
+ </h2>
+ <p>
+ Create the two views that you want to crossfade. The following example creates a progress
+ indicator and a scrollable text view:
+ </p>
+ <pre>
+&lt;FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
+ android:layout_width="match_parent"
+ android:layout_height="match_parent"&gt;
+
+ &lt;ScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
+ android:id="@+id/content"
+ android:layout_width="match_parent"
+ android:layout_height="match_parent"&gt;
+
+ &lt;TextView style="?android:textAppearanceMedium"
+ android:lineSpacingMultiplier="1.2"
+ android:layout_width="match_parent"
+ android:layout_height="wrap_content"
+ android:text="@string/lorem_ipsum"
+ android:padding="16dp" /&gt;
+
+ &lt;/ScrollView&gt;
+
+ &lt;ProgressBar android:id="@+id/loading_spinner"
+ style="?android:progressBarStyleLarge"
+ android:layout_width="wrap_content"
+ android:layout_height="wrap_content"
+ android:layout_gravity="center" /&gt;
+
+&lt;/FrameLayout&gt;
+</pre>
+ <h2 id="setup">
+ Set up the Animation
+ </h2>
+ <p>
+ To set up the animation:
+ </p>
+ <ol>
+ <li>Create member variables for the views that you want to crossfade. You need
+ these references later when modifying the views during the animation.
+ </li>
+ <li>For the view that is being faded in, set its visibility to {@link
+ android.view.View#GONE}. This prevents the view from taking up layout space and omits it
+ from layout calculations, speeding up processing.
+ </li>
+ <li>Cache the <code>{@link android.R.integer#config_shortAnimTime}</code>
+ system property in a member variable. This property defines a standard
+ "short" duration for the animation. This duration is ideal for subtle animations or
+ animations that occur very frequently. {@link android.R.integer#config_longAnimTime} and
+ {@link android.R.integer#config_mediumAnimTime} are also available if you wish to use them.
+ </li>
+ </ol>
+ <p>
+ Here's an example using the layout from the previous code snippet as the activity content
+ view:
+ </p>
+ <pre>
+public class CrossfadeActivity extends Activity {
+
+ private View mContentView;
+ private View mLoadingView;
+ private int mShortAnimationDuration;
+
+ ...
+
+ &#64;Override
+ protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
+ super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
+ setContentView(R.layout.activity_crossfade);
+
+ mContentView = findViewById(R.id.content);
+ mLoadingView = findViewById(R.id.loading_spinner);
+
+ // Initially hide the content view.
+ mContentView.setVisibility(View.GONE);
+
+ // Retrieve and cache the system's default "short" animation time.
+ mShortAnimationDuration = getResources().getInteger(
+ android.R.integer.config_shortAnimTime);
+ }
+
+</pre>
+ <h2 id="animate">
+ Crossfade the Views
+ </h2>
+ <p>
+ Now that the views are properly set up, crossfade them by doing the following:
+ </p>
+ <ol>
+ <li>For the view that is fading in, set the alpha value to <code>0</code> and the visibility
+ to {@link android.view.View#VISIBLE}. (Remember that it was initially set to {@link
+ android.view.View#GONE}.) This makes the view visible but completely transparent.
+ </li>
+ <li>For the view that is fading in, animate its alpha value from <code>0</code> to
+ <code>1</code>. At the same time, for the view that is fading out, animate the alpha value
+ from <code>1</code> to <code>0</code>.
+ </li>
+ <li>Using {@link android.animation.Animator.AnimatorListener#onAnimationEnd onAnimationEnd()}
+ in an {@link android.animation.Animator.AnimatorListener}, set the visibility of the view
+ that was fading out to {@link android.view.View#GONE}. Even though the alpha value is <code>0</code>,
+ setting the view's visibility to {@link android.view.View#GONE} prevents the view from taking
+ up layout space and omits it from layout calculations, speeding up processing.
+ </li>
+ </ol>
+ <p>
+ The following method shows an example of how to do this:
+ </p>
+ <pre>
+private View mContentView;
+private View mLoadingView;
+private int mShortAnimationDuration;
+
+...
+
+private void crossfade() {
+
+ // Set the content view to 0% opacity but visible, so that it is visible
+ // (but fully transparent) during the animation.
+ mContentView.setAlpha(0f);
+ mContentView.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
+
+ // Animate the content view to 100% opacity, and clear any animation
+ // listener set on the view.
+ mContentView.animate()
+ .alpha(1f)
+ .setDuration(mShortAnimationDuration)
+ .setListener(null);
+
+ // Animate the loading view to 0% opacity. After the animation ends,
+ // set its visibility to GONE as an optimization step (it won't
+ // participate in layout passes, etc.)
+ mHideView.animate()
+ .alpha(0f)
+ .setDuration(mShortAnimationDuration)
+ .setListener(new AnimatorListenerAdapter() {
+ &#64;Override
+ public void onAnimationEnd(Animator animation) {
+ mHideView.setVisibility(View.GONE);
+ }
+ });
+}
