Hello tikloo,

Animations can be done similar to this:

Syntax: [ Download ] [ Hide ]

Using xml Syntax Highlighting

<set android:shareInterpolator="true" 
 
     android:interpolator="@android:anim/accelerate_interpolator">
 
    <translate android:toYDelta="-100"
 
               android:fillAfter="true"
 
               android:duration="800"
 
               android:startOffset="1600"/>
 
</set>
Parsed in 0.001 seconds,  using GeSHi 1.0.8.4

Syntax: [ Download ] [ Hide ]

Using java Syntax Highlighting

// Hook into the object to be animated.
 
TextView animWindow = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.anim);
 
// Load the animation from XML (XML file is res/anim/move_animation.xml).
 
Animation anim = AnimationUtils.loadAnimation(AnimationSample.this, R.anim.move_animation);
 
anim.setRepeatMode(Animation.NO_REPEAT);
 
// Play the animation.
 
animWindow.startAnimation(anim);

Hello Tikloo,

no problem

But this time I can't understand your questions properly.
What do you mean with "point to":

You mean: "When the ImageButton is selected i don't want it to highlight with a white background, but transparent" ?

Hi Plusminus,

Thank you for ur immediate response.

I will explain the question.

1) I want to use a gif as a cursor point for this particular page alone.When I scroll through the buttons say moving down while selecting or moving up the image should point to the image button currently having the focus.

2) I am trying to solve this problem. I will comeback to you once if I cant.

thanks in advance.

Hello Tikloo,

remember that there is no cursor on an Android Device!
i.e. On windows mobile you only have a cursor, when you attach an external mouse to your device.
