Android: show/hide a view using an animation

Question

I\'ve been looking through many google results / questions on here to determine how to show/hide a view via a vertical animation, but I can\'t seem to find one that\'s exactly r

Answer 1

First of all get the height of the view yo want to saw and make a boolean to save if the view is showing:

int heigth=0;
boolean showing=false;
LinearLayout layout = (LinearLayout) view.findViewById(R.id.layout);

        proDetailsLL.getViewTreeObserver().addOnGlobalLayoutListener(new OnGlobalLayoutListener() {

            @Override
            public void onGlobalLayout() {
                // gets called after layout has been done but before display
                // so we can get the height then hide the view

                proHeight = proDetailsLL.getHeight(); // Ahaha!  Gotcha

                proDetailsLL.getViewTreeObserver().removeGlobalOnLayoutListener(this);
                proDetailsLL.setLayoutParams(new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, 0));
            }
        });

Then call the method for showing hide the view, and change the value of the boolean:

slideInOutAnimation(showing, heigth, layout);
proShowing = !proShowing;

The method:

/**
     * Method to slide in out the layout
     * 
     * @param isShowing
     *            if the layout is showing
     * @param height
     *            the height to slide
     * @param slideLL
     *            the container to show
     */
private void slideInOutAnimation(boolean isShowing, int height, final LinearLayout slideLL, final ImageView arroIV) {

        if (!isShowing) {
        Animation animIn = new Animation() {
        protected void applyTransformation(float interpolatedTime, Transformation t) {
                    super.applyTransformation(interpolatedTime, t);
        // Do relevant calculations here using the interpolatedTime that runs from 0 to 1
        slideLL.setLayoutParams(new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, (int) (heigth * interpolatedTime)));

                }
            };
            animIn.setDuration(500);
            slideLL.startAnimation(animIn);
        } else {

            Animation animOut = new Animation() {
                protected void applyTransformation(float interpolatedTime, Transformation t) {
                    super.applyTransformation(interpolatedTime, t);
                    // Do relevant calculations here using the interpolatedTime that runs from 0 to 1


                        slideLL.setLayoutParams(new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT,
                                (int) (heigth * (1 - interpolatedTime))));

                }
            };
            animOut.setDuration(500);
            slideLL.startAnimation(animOut);


        }

    }
