Public Constructors

public TranslateAnimation (Context context, AttributeSet attrs)

Added in API level 1

Constructor used when a TranslateAnimation is loaded from a resource.

Parameters
context Application context to use
attrs Attribute set from which to read values

public TranslateAnimation (float fromXDelta, float toXDelta, float fromYDelta, float toYDelta)

Added in API level 1

Constructor to use when building a TranslateAnimation from code

Parameters
fromXDelta Change in X coordinate to apply at the start of the animation
toXDelta Change in X coordinate to apply at the end of the animation
fromYDelta Change in Y coordinate to apply at the start of the animation
toYDelta Change in Y coordinate to apply at the end of the animation

public TranslateAnimation (int fromXType, float fromXValue, int toXType, float toXValue, int fromYType, float fromYValue, int toYType, float toYValue)

Added in API level 1

Constructor to use when building a TranslateAnimation from code

Parameters
fromXType Specifies how fromXValue should be interpreted. One of Animation.ABSOLUTE, Animation.RELATIVE_TO_SELF, or Animation.RELATIVE_TO_PARENT.
fromXValue Change in X coordinate to apply at the start of the animation. This value can either be an absolute number if fromXType is ABSOLUTE, or a percentage (where 1.0 is 100%) otherwise.
toXType Specifies how toXValue should be interpreted. One of Animation.ABSOLUTE, Animation.RELATIVE_TO_SELF, or Animation.RELATIVE_TO_PARENT.
toXValue Change in X coordinate to apply at the end of the animation. This value can either be an absolute number if toXType is ABSOLUTE, or a percentage (where 1.0 is 100%) otherwise.
fromYType Specifies how fromYValue should be interpreted. One of Animation.ABSOLUTE, Animation.RELATIVE_TO_SELF, or Animation.RELATIVE_TO_PARENT.
fromYValue Change in Y coordinate to apply at the start of the animation. This value can either be an absolute number if fromYType is ABSOLUTE, or a percentage (where 1.0 is 100%) otherwise.
toYType Specifies how toYValue should be interpreted. One of Animation.ABSOLUTE, Animation.RELATIVE_TO_SELF, or Animation.RELATIVE_TO_PARENT.
toYValue Change in Y coordinate to apply at the end of the animation. This value can either be an absolute number if toYType is ABSOLUTE, or a percentage (where 1.0 is 100%) otherwise.

Public Methods

public void initialize (int width, int height, int parentWidth, int parentHeight)

Added in API level 1

Initialize this animation with the dimensions of the object being animated as well as the objects parents. (This is to support animation sizes being specified relative to these dimensions.)

Objects that interpret Animations should call this method when the sizes of the object being animated and its parent are known, and before calling getTransformation(long, Transformation).

Parameters
width Width of the object being animated
height Height of the object being animated
parentWidth Width of the animated object's parent
parentHeight Height of the animated object's parent

Protected Methods

protected void applyTransformation (float interpolatedTime, Transformation t)

Added in API level 1

Helper for getTransformation. Subclasses should implement this to apply their transforms given an interpolation value. Implementations of this method should always replace the specified Transformation or document they are doing otherwise.

Parameters
interpolatedTime The value of the normalized time (0.0 to 1.0) after it has been run through the interpolation function.
t The Transformation object to fill in with the current transforms.
