I am working on an app, which can run on Froyo as well as JellyBean. I have a class that extends PageTransformer as below:

import a         


        

Answer 1

To be both forward and backward compatible I use following implementation for my views:

private void fadeOut(final View view) {
    int sdk = android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT;
    if(sdk < android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES.JELLY_BEAN) {
        AlphaAnimation alpha = new AlphaAnimation(1f, 0f);
        alpha.setDuration(mAnimationDuration);
        alpha.setFillAfter(true);
        view.startAnimation(alpha);
    } else {
        view.animate()
        .alpha(0f)
        .setDuration(mAnimationDuration)
        .setListener(new AnimatorListenerAdapter() {
            @Override
            public void onAnimationEnd(Animator animation) {
                view.setVisibility(View.GONE);
            }
        });
    }
}

private void fadeIn(View view) {
    int sdk = android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT;
    if(sdk < android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES.JELLY_BEAN) {
        view.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
        AlphaAnimation alpha = new AlphaAnimation(0f, 1f);
        alpha.setDuration(mAnimationDuration);
        alpha.setFillAfter(true);
        view.startAnimation(alpha);
    } else {
        view.setAlpha(0f);
        view.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);

        view.animate()
        .alpha(1f)
        .setDuration(mAnimationDuration)
        .setListener(null);
    }
}
