AnimationDrawable can be used to implement simple thumb animation such
as blinking.
* Create animation in anim/thumb_anim.xml:
<animation-list
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android";
android:oneshot="true">
<item android:drawable="@drawable/red" android:duration="300" />
<item android:drawable="@drawable/blue" android:duration="300" />
...
<item android:drawable="@drawable/ball_red" android:duration="300" /
>
</animation-list>
* Create an ImageView that turns the above XML into AnimationDrawable:
//mImageView.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);
mImage.setBackgroundResource(R.anim.thumb_anim);
mAnim = (AnimationDrawable)mImage.getBackground();
* Set seekbar thumb to the AnimationDrawable:
mSeekBar.setThumb(mAnim);
* In onWindowFocuseChanged,
public void onWindowFocusChanged(boolean hasFocus) {
if(hasFocus) {
mAnim.start();
} else {
mAnim.stop();
}
}
This step is baesd on disucssion in:
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=79#c4
* Note the imageview is needed only for turning the XML into
AnmiationDrawable so
its visibility can be turned off (or using a ViewStub ?)
* Also need to turn off mAnim as soon as user starts interacting w/
the thumb.
