GridView
In Android we can animate a GridView to make it more interactive and enhance the user experience.
To animate a GridView we need animation resource.
In this Example I have used two types of Animation.
Type 1: GridView will come In on Screen from Top Left corner. (fly_in_from_top_corner.xml has been used for this) See Snapshot 1 below
Type 2: GridView will come In on Screen from Center of the Screen.(fly_in_from_center.xml has been used for this) See Snapshot 2 below
To learn Basic of Android Animation go to Android Animation Tutorial
Animation Resources
fly_in_from_top_corner.xml
<set xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:shareInterpolator="true">
<scale android:interpolator="@android:anim/decelerate_interpolator"
android:fromXScale="0.0" android:toXScale="1.0"
android:fromYScale="0.0" android:toYScale="1.0"
android:pivotX="100%" android:pivotY="0%"
android:fillAfter="false" android:duration="5000"/>
</set>
fly_in_from_center.xml
<set xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:shareInterpolator="true">
<scale android:interpolator="@android:anim/decelerate_interpolator"
android:fromXScale="1.0" android:toXScale="0.0"
android:fromYScale="1.0" android:toYScale="0.0"
android:pivotX="50%" android:pivotY="50%"
android:fillAfter="false" android:duration="1000"/>
</set>
Create a new Folder "anim" inside "res" folder and put these two animation resource files in "anim" folder
main.xml
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:background="#4D9494"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<GridView
android:id="@+id/gridView"
android:verticalSpacing="5dp"
android:horizontalSpacing="5dp"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:numColumns="3" >
</GridView>
</LinearLayout>
GridViewActivity
public class MainActivity extends Activity
{
static final String[] numbers = new String[] {
"A", "B", "C", "D", "E",
"F", "G", "H", "I", "J",
"K", "L", "M", "N", "O",
"P", "Q", "R", "S", "T",
"U", "V", "W", "X", "Y", "Z"};
GridView gridView;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
gridView=(GridView)findViewById(R.id.gridView);
// Create the ArrayAdapter
ArrayAdapter<String> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this,
android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, numbers);
// Set the Adapter to GridView
gridView.setAdapter(adapter);
// Set the Required Animation to GridView and start the Animation
// use fly_in_from_center to have 2nd type of animation effect (snapshot 2)
Animation anim = AnimationUtils.loadAnimation(getApplicationContext(), R.anim.fly_in_from_top_corner);
gridView.setAnimation(anim);
anim.start();
}
}
