Creating the running line with text - The Ticker

fresco · by **fresco** » Tue Dec 18, 2007 12:03 pm

I want to create a running line with some text on the screen. The text should enter the screen from the right edge and exit to the left.
I found a Ticker object, that can do almost everithing I planned, but I still have a couple of problems. First the ticker stops when it reaches left edge, and I want him to keep running, and second how to restart the ticker so it can run forever ?

Hello fresco,

Have a look at the following functions:

Syntax: [ Download ] [ Hide ]

Using java Syntax Highlighting

        myTicker.resetTicker();
 
        myTicker.startTicker();
Parsed in 0.030 seconds,  using GeSHi 1.0.8.4

Haven't tried it but this should restart the animation:

Syntax: [ Download ] [ Hide ]

Using java Syntax Highlighting

        aTicker.setTickerListener(new TickerListener(){
 
                        @Override
 
                        public void onTickerFinished(Ticker myTicker) {
 
                                myTicker.resetTicker();
 
                                myTicker.startTicker();
 
                        }
 
        });
Parsed in 0.031 seconds,  using GeSHi 1.0.8.4

Yes, I already checked these functions, and their behavior is weird. Sometimes it really restart the the ticker sometimes not. I think it depends on the current screen condition. Besides that I still can't make the ticker keep running after it reaches the edge of the screen.

Hello fresco,

Tried a lot (also extending the Ticker) but got no solution for the scrolling out to the right.

:warning:

NOTE: The stop-'Event' is not the child reaching the left edge of the ticker, but the right edge of the child reaching the right edge of the ticker :!:

Summarized: The Child-View scrolls until every pixel of it has been seen once.
:idea:

Just make your text a bit longer than the screen ...

How can i change de Ticker speed? It sounds like I can't, but i noticed the Scroller class which could be usefull for this...It's about velocityX,duration etc...

But I don't understand how to use it with the ticker...

thx
