Hi,
I have 3 png-images with transparent areas integrated in one LinearLayout this way:


I want to animate "splash_1" without animating his child "splash_2"!
If I rotate my splash_1_Layout then splash_2 is doing the same because his parent is rotating.
Is it possible to turn animation for splash_2 off? And how can I do that?
Few code snippets would be most helpful to me than explanations.

Thanks in advance,
navajo

It's early in the morning here and such and I haven't done this / implemented it in code as it's just an idea, but take a look at LayeredDrawable (http://developer.android.com/reference/ ... wable.html) and see if you can animate each layer (IE a unique drawable itself) independently. This may also reduce the extraneous nested LinearLayouts in your current layout.

LayerDrawable has XML definitions as so briefly defined in the documentation: "It can be defined in an XML file with the <layer-list> element. Each Drawable in the layer is defined in a nested <item>."

Another route is the coding option which is to simply implement this functionality (rotating bitmaps) in a custom component using the Android 2D API.

I'll be releasing a comprehensive framework that makes option 2 easy cheesy Q1 this year..

This too is just off the top of my head, so take it with a grain of salt.

Are all of your images drawn on top of one another?
How about putting all 3 LinearLayouts inside a FrameView. Then don't nest the LinearLayouts, make them all first level children of the FrameView. They will all be aligned to the top-left corner of the screen and drawn on top of each other and can be animated independantly. And once you do this, you might not need to make them LinearLayouts but ImageViews(Not positive these are animatable though) might work and be more specific.

Many thanks volks,
you helped me a lot!

@BUKsAPPs: your solution is very simple and worked straightaway. Thanks again!
