I'd like to make list items animate, falling to the bottom of the screen and shrinking, as they're clicked on.

I believe doing this requires the following:
- When a list item is clicked, a bitmap of the list item is created.
- The bitmap is animated so it falls to the bottom of the screen and shrinks.


At the moment, I'm still stuck on the first step. How exactly would I create a bitmap of the list item? Here is my attempt so far:

Code: Select all

    @Override
    protected void onListItemClick(ListView l, View v, int position, long id) {
       super.onListItemClick(l, v, position, id);
       
       v.setDrawingCacheEnabled(true);
       Bitmap bit = v.getDrawingCache();
       v.setDrawingCacheEnabled(false);
       
   // do something with bit
    }

This does not work (when debugging, I see that the width and height of bit are -1). What am I doing wrong?

If you would like to give me some insight into the second step, that would be much appreciated, too.

Thank you for your time

The easist thing to do is to subclass AdapterView.
