[android-developers] Re: Animation
So kindly can you suggest me what am I supposed to use? Thanks in advance. On Sep 21, 10:20 pm, Dianne Hackborn hack...@android.com wrote: Don't use animations. This is not what they are for. They are for performing transitions between different states of a UI, not for writing game-like interactions.

[android-developers] Re: Animation Problem
I know its too late but Thanks for the reply. Basically what I want is a combination of Translate and rotate animation. I dont know if i chose the right thing as i'm very new to android. I want to animate a object on a random curve (like a freehand drawn curve which has no specific shape).So for this i chose a animation set of translate and rotate animatinos. I hope it makes sense. and also i want to capture clicks on the object while it animates. Do you think you can help me? Probably i chose the wrong approach kindly correct me if so. Actually if you have a little idea of iPhone development, this kind of animation can be achieved by making a image animate on a Path. And this path can be created by us by supplying random values. Its a cake walk in iPhone.

The coordinates are a 'pivot point'; you could think of them as the 'middle' of the rotation. If you want an object to rotate or spin without moving up/down/left/ right, then what you actually want is: RotateAnimation spin = new RotateAnimation(0.0f, 360.0f,Animation.RELATIVE_TO_SELF, 0.5f,Animation.RELATIVE_TO_SELF, 0.5f); This gives the middle of the image as the 'pivot' so it doesn't move in an arc. Hope this helps! On Aug 11, 1:59 am, HVT vikramhiman...@gmail.com wrote: Hello All, I'm new to Android and trying to develop an app that has loads of animation. Its a small game.
