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 animat

Answer 1

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;
}

}
