I've created a countdown timer that counts Days:Hrs:Mins:Sec. using regular text view and updating it using my handler works fine for me. however I want to create a cool animation for the changing digits: 1st Q:
I have 2 options as I see it to draw the numbers: 1. using a home made font applied with a style 2. using a textview/btn with no text on them and applying a backrgound image using setBackgroundResource()
--what should I choose?
2nd Q:
I've created a wrapper for ViewFlipper(not extending it)
public class transitionair extends Activity {
SpecialFlipperWrapper m_thousand;
SpecialFlipperWrapper m_hundred;
SpecialFlipperWrapper m_tens;
SpecialFlipperWrapper m_ones;
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle icicle) {
super.onCreate(icicle);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
ViewFlipper flipper_Tsnds=(ViewFlipper)findViewById(R.id.yearThousand);
m_thousand = new SpecialFlipperWrapper(flipper_Tsnds, this, 9);
ViewFlipper flipper_Hndrds=(ViewFlipper)findViewById(R.id.yearHundread);
m_hundred = new SpecialFlipperWrapper(flipper_Hndrds, this, 9);
ViewFlipper flipper_Tns=(ViewFlipper)findViewB开发者_开发问答yId(R.id.yearTens);
m_tens = new SpecialFlipperWrapper(flipper_Tns, this, 9);
ViewFlipper flipper_Ons=(ViewFlipper)findViewById(R.id.yearOnes);
m_ones = new SpecialFlipperWrapper(flipper_Ons, this, 9);
m_thousand.startFlipping();
m_hundred.startFlipping();
m_tens.startFlipping();
m_ones.startFlipping();
} }
however trying to fetch one of the latter views that come after the yearThousand id are retrieving null
XML I'm Using is:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
>
<ViewFlipper
android:id="@+id/yearThousand"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
<ViewFlipper
android:id="@+id/yearHundread"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
<ViewFlipper
android:id="@+id/yearTens"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
<ViewFlipper
android:id="@+id/yearOnes"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
</LinearLayout>
ps xml's for the animation itself are working so I left them out
Main questions is: can I make it better? second question is: how? third question is why is my layout returning null on the second call to it and how can I avoid it?
