the animation is concurrent, so only in case of a very fast animation you can do both steps after each other (setVisibility(GONE); startAnimation(fade-out))

greetings,
darolla

ok, you are right when it comes to GONE & fade-out, however the opposite should work without listener: VISIBLE & fade-in even for 5000 ms animation

i think this is because GONE completely hides view from the screen (setting its bounds to [0, 0]) but in other animations you can live without listener e.g. when using translate, rotate or alpha.

wow!

guys, look at this! thanks Emmanuel7 for inspiration ;)

this is how i did it (right-top panel):

<Button
android:id="@id/panelHandle"
android:layout_width="33dip"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginTop="-110dip"
android:layout_gravity="center"
/>

i know, i know: this is weird, stupid & ugly, thats why i'm lokking for better solution...

hi,

introduced new attribute weight: it should force content's size relative to parent

it's used in right-center and right-bottom panel

panel:weight="100%p"
panel:weight="75%p"

however my implementation uses setMinimumWidth/Height() which is ok when using 100%p but when using for example 75%p it can work not as expected: if panel has for example TextView with very long text the panel extends beyound 75%

i cannot find out a way how to force fixed size, any suggestions?

ok, managed to fix it in onMeasure method :)

Aleksiej,

are you reffering to some existing google project or to new one?

I'm suggesting create a new space at code.google.com/p name it like andWidgets or whatever and after that we can all use it and contribute . It'll be just a bit easier to maintain the code.

can someone give or point to a tutorial on how to implement this in my own code?

Aleksiej and all,

created http://code.google.com/p/android-misc-widgets project (hope there will be more than one widget here). i'll submit files to svn today

thanks

Thanks ! A Lot ..

you are welcome...

all the files are now in svn and from now everything will be commited there.

thanks

What's the license on the panel ? BSD ?

the project i created is under apache 2.

what is more liberal: apache 2 or bsd?

i wanted it to be as free as possible.

i don't know how legit it is but i've seen in the blog of the guy who works on mono on android ( search my brain hurts blog )

To bad, but you could use a BSD style licence, it has a lot in common with the WTFPL, exect it asks the user to leave your name in it, that's it!
Oh and I believe BSD is a lot more liberal than Apache. I have never read the apache licence, but as it's a lot bigger than BSD's it can only be more strickt . The BSD (style) licence is only a couple of lines long.
