Animation

The specified dimension is an absolute number of pixels.

Repeat the animation indefinitely.

The specified dimension holds a float and should be multiplied by the height or width of the parent of the object being animated.

The specified dimension holds a float and should be multiplied by the height or width of the object being animated.

When the animation reaches the end and the repeat count is INFINTE_REPEAT or a positive value, the animation restarts from the beginning.

When the animation reaches the end and the repeat count is INFINTE_REPEAT or a positive value, the animation plays backward (and then forward again).

Can be used as the start time to indicate the start time should be the current time when getTransformation(long, Transformation) is invoked for the first animation frame. This can is useful for short animations.

Requests that the content being animated be forced under all other content for the duration of the animation.

Requests that the content being animated be kept in its current Z order.

Requests that the content being animated be forced on top of all other content for the duration of the animation.

Creates a new animation with a duration of 0ms, the default interpolator, with fillBefore set to true and fillAfter set to false

Creates a new animation whose parameters come from the specified context and attributes set.

Cancel the animation. Cancelling an animation invokes the animation listener, if set, to notify the end of the animation. If you cancel an animation manually, you must call reset() before starting the animation again.

Compute a hint at how long the entire animation may last, in milliseconds. Animations can be written to cause themselves to run for a different duration than what is computed here, but generally this should be accurate.

Returns the background color behind the animation.

Return value of setDetachWallpaper(boolean).

How long this animation should last

If fillAfter is true, this animation will apply its transformation after the end time of the animation.

If fillBefore is true, this animation will apply its transformation before the start time of the animation. If fillBefore is false and fillEnabled is true, the transformation will not be applied until the start time of the animation.

Gets the acceleration curve type for this animation.

Defines how many times the animation should repeat. The default value is 0.

Defines what this animation should do when it reaches the end.

When this animation should start, relative to StartTime

When this animation should start. If the animation has not startet yet, this method might return START_ON_FIRST_FRAME.

Gets the transformation to apply at a specified point in time. Implementations of this method should always replace the specified Transformation or document they are doing otherwise.

Gets the transformation to apply at a specified point in time. Implementations of this method should always replace the specified Transformation or document they are doing otherwise.

Returns the Z ordering mode to use while running the animation as previously set by setZAdjustment(int).

Indicates whether this animation has ended or not.

Indicates whether this animation has started or not.

Initialize this animation with the dimensions of the object being animated as well as the objects parents. (This is to support animation sizes being specified relative to these dimensions.)

Objects that interpret Animations should call this method when the sizes of the object being animated and its parent are known, and before calling getTransformation(long, Transformation).

If fillEnabled is true, this animation will apply the value of fillBefore.

Whether or not the animation has been initialized.

Reset the initialization state of this animation.

Ensure that the duration that this animation will run is not longer than durationMillis. In addition to adjusting the duration itself, this ensures that the repeat count also will not make it run longer than the given time.

How much to scale the duration by.

Binds an animation listener to this animation. The animation listener is notified of animation events such as the end of the animation or the repetition of the animation.

Set background behind animation.

If detachWallpaper is true, and this is a window animation of a window that has a wallpaper background, then the window will be detached from the wallpaper while it runs. That is, the animation will only be applied to the window, and the wallpaper behind it will remain static.

How long this animation should last. The duration cannot be negative.

If fillAfter is true, the transformation that this animation performed will persist when it is finished. Defaults to false if not set. Note that this applies to individual animations and when using an AnimationSet to chain animations.

If fillBefore is true, this animation will apply its transformation before the start time of the animation. Defaults to true if setFillEnabled(boolean) is not set to true. Note that this applies when using an AnimationSet to chain animations. The transformation is not applied before the AnimationSet itself starts.

If fillEnabled is true, the animation will apply the value of fillBefore. Otherwise, fillBefore is ignored and the animation transformation is always applied until the animation ends.

Sets the acceleration curve for this animation. The interpolator is loaded as a resource from the specified context.

Sets the acceleration curve for this animation. Defaults to a linear interpolation.

Sets how many times the animation should be repeated. If the repeat count is 0, the animation is never repeated. If the repeat count is greater than 0 or INFINITE, the repeat mode will be taken into account. The repeat count is 0 by default.

Defines what this animation should do when it reaches the end. This setting is applied only when the repeat count is either greater than 0 or INFINITE. Defaults to RESTART.

When this animation should start relative to the start time. This is most useful when composing complex animations using an AnimationSet where some of the animations components start at different times.

When this animation should start. When the start time is set to START_ON_FIRST_FRAME, the animation will start the first time getTransformation(long, Transformation) is invoked. The time passed to this method should be obtained by calling currentAnimationTimeMillis() instead of currentTimeMillis().

Set the Z ordering mode to use while running the animation.

Convenience method to start the animation the first time getTransformation(long, Transformation) is invoked.

Convenience method to start the animation at the current time in milliseconds.

Indicates whether or not this animation will affect the bounds of the animated view. For instance, a fade animation will not affect the bounds whereas a 200% scale animation will.

Indicates whether or not this animation will affect the transformation matrix. For instance, a fade animation will not affect the matrix whereas a scale animation will.

Helper for getTransformation. Subclasses should implement this to apply their transforms given an interpolation value. Implementations of this method should always replace the specified Transformation or document they are doing otherwise.

Creates and returns a copy of this Object. The default implementation returns a so-called "shallow" copy: It creates a new instance of the same class and then copies the field values (including object references) from this instance to the new instance. A "deep" copy, in contrast, would also recursively clone nested objects. A subclass that needs to implement this kind of cloning should call super.clone() to create the new instance and then create deep copies of the nested, mutable objects.

Gurantees that this animation has an interpolator. Will use a AccelerateDecelerateInterpolator is nothing else was specified.

Invoked when the garbage collector has detected that this instance is no longer reachable. The default implementation does nothing, but this method can be overridden to free resources.

Note that objects that override finalize are significantly more expensive than objects that don't. Finalizers may be run a long time after the object is no longer reachable, depending on memory pressure, so it's a bad idea to rely on them for cleanup. Note also that finalizers are run on a single VM-wide finalizer thread, so doing blocking work in a finalizer is a bad idea. A finalizer is usually only necessary for a class that has a native peer and needs to call a native method to destroy that peer. Even then, it's better to provide an explicit close method (and implement Closeable), and insist that callers manually dispose of instances. This works well for something like files, but less well for something like a BigInteger where typical calling code would have to deal with lots of temporaries. Unfortunately, code that creates lots of temporaries is the worst kind of code from the point of view of the single finalizer thread.

If you must use finalizers, consider at least providing your own ReferenceQueue and having your own thread process that queue.

Unlike constructors, finalizers are not automatically chained. You are responsible for calling super.finalize() yourself.

Uncaught exceptions thrown by finalizers are ignored and do not terminate the finalizer thread. See Effective Java Item 7, "Avoid finalizers" for more.

The scale factor is set by the call to getTransformation. Overrides of getTransformation(long, Transformation, float) will get this value directly. Overrides of applyTransformation(float, Transformation) can call this method to get the value.
