Smooth text change in android animation

Question

I want to add animation in android text view so that when a text changes it should change smoothly and slowly. Like, fade in or fade out when the text changes. Is it possibl

Answer 1

use TextSwitcher

Array of Strings to show in TextSwitcher

String textToShow[] = {"Main HeadLine", "Your Message", "New In Technology"};

You have to set animation

mSwitcher.setInAnimation(context, android.R.anim.slide_in_left);
mSwitcher.setOutAnimation(context, android.R.anim.slide_out_right);

Animation is triggered by calling method setText(CharSequence text)

// When clicked on Button TextSwitcher will switch between texts
btnNext.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
    public void onClick (View v) {

       currentIndex++;
       // If index reaches maximum reset it
       if (currentIndex == messageCount) {
          currentIndex = 0;
       }

       mSwitcher.setText(textToShow[currentIndex]);
}):

If you want to set text without animation, call method setCurrentText(CharSequence text).
