How can I scale textviews using shared element transitions?

Question

I am able to get TextViews to transition perfectly between two activities using ActivityOptions.makeSceneTransitionAnimation. However I want to make the text sc

Answer 1

I used solution from Alex Lockwood and simplified the use (it's only for TextSize of a TextView), I hope this will help:

public class Activity2 extends AppCompatActivity {

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

        setContentView(R.layout.activity2);

        EnterSharedElementTextSizeHandler handler = new EnterSharedElementTextSizeHandler(this);

        handler.addTextViewSizeResource((TextView) findViewById(R.id.timer),
                R.dimen.small_text_size, R.dimen.large_text_size);
    }
}

and the class EnterSharedElementTextSizeHandler:

public class EnterSharedElementTextSizeHandler extends SharedElementCallback {

    private final TransitionSet mTransitionSet;
    private final Activity mActivity;

    public Map> textViewList = new HashMap<>();


    public EnterSharedElementTextSizeHandler(Activity activity) {

        mActivity = activity;

        Transition transitionWindow = activity.getWindow().getSharedElementEnterTransition();

        if (!(transitionWindow instanceof TransitionSet)) {
            mTransitionSet = new TransitionSet();
            mTransitionSet.addTransition(transitionWindow);
        } else {
            mTransitionSet = (TransitionSet) transitionWindow;
        }

        activity.setEnterSharedElementCallback(this);

    }


    public void addTextViewSizeResource(TextView tv, int sizeBegin, int sizeEnd) {

        Resources res = mActivity.getResources();
        addTextView(tv,
                res.getDimensionPixelSize(sizeBegin),
                res.getDimensionPixelSize(sizeEnd));
    }

    public void addTextView(TextView tv, int sizeBegin, int sizeEnd) {

        Transition textSize = new TextSizeTransition();
        textSize.addTarget(tv.getId());
        textSize.addTarget(tv.getText().toString());
        mTransitionSet.addTransition(textSize);

        textViewList.put(tv, new Pair<>(sizeBegin, sizeEnd));
    }

    @Override
    public void onSharedElementStart(List sharedElementNames, List sharedElements, List sharedElementSnapshots) {

        for (View v : sharedElements) {

            if (!textViewList.containsKey(v)) {
                continue;
            }

            ((TextView) v).setTextSize(TypedValue.COMPLEX_UNIT_PX, textViewList.get(v).first);
        }
    }

    @Override
    public void onSharedElementEnd(List sharedElementNames, List sharedElements, List sharedElementSnapshots) {
        for (View v : sharedElements) {

            if (!textViewList.containsKey(v)) {
                continue;
            }

            TextView textView = (TextView) v;

            // Record the TextView's old width/height.
            int oldWidth = textView.getMeasuredWidth();
            int oldHeight = textView.getMeasuredHeight();

            // Setup the TextView's end values.
            textView.setTextSize(TypedValue.COMPLEX_UNIT_PX, textViewList.get(v).second);

            // Re-measure the TextView (since the text size has changed).
            int widthSpec = View.MeasureSpec.makeMeasureSpec(0, View.MeasureSpec.UNSPECIFIED);
            int heightSpec = View.MeasureSpec.makeMeasureSpec(0, View.MeasureSpec.UNSPECIFIED);
            textView.measure(widthSpec, heightSpec);

            // Record the TextView's new width/height.
            int newWidth = textView.getMeasuredWidth();
            int newHeight = textView.getMeasuredHeight();

            // Layout the TextView in the center of its container, accounting for its new width/height.
            int widthDiff = newWidth - oldWidth;
            int heightDiff = newHeight - oldHeight;
            textView.layout(textView.getLeft() - widthDiff / 2, textView.getTop() - heightDiff / 2,
                    textView.getRight() + widthDiff / 2, textView.getBottom() + heightDiff / 2);
        }
    }
