How to Set Animation Using View in Android

Procedure

1. Start Eclipse IDE.
2. Create a new project.
3. Create two Java files, one is AnimationUsingView.java and the second is MyView.java.
4. Create an activity_animation_using_view.xml file for layout design.
5. In MyView.java file add an image using BitmapFactory and then in the onDraw function use a canvas with drawLine,drawBitmap and drawColor.
6. In the AnimationUsingView.java file extends with Activity and declare a variable of MyView type then add animation_using_view in onCreateOptionsMenu.

The code is given below.

MyView.java

package a.v;

import android.content.Context;

import android.graphics.Bitmap;

import android.graphics.BitmapFactory;

import android.graphics.Canvas;

import android.graphics.Color;

import android.graphics.Paint;

import android.view.View;

 

public class MyView extends View

{

    Bitmap ball;

    float change=0;

    public MyView(Context context)

   {

        super(context);

        // TODO Auto-generated constructor stub

        ball=BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(), R.drawable.ic_launcher);

    }

    @Override

    protected void onDraw(Canvas canvas)

    {

 

        // TODO Auto-generated method stub

        super.onDraw(canvas);

        Paint pi=new Paint();

        pi.setColor(Color.YELLOW);

        pi.setStrokeWidth(45);

        canvas.drawColor(Color.RED);

        canvas.drawBitmap(ball, canvas.getWidth()/2, change, null);

        canvas.drawLine((canvas.getWidth()/2)+20, 0,(canvas.getWidth()/2)+20, change, pi);

        if(change<canvas.getHeight())

        {

             change+=5;

        }

        else

       {

            change=0;

       }

       invalidate();

    }

}

AnimationUsingView.java

package a.v;

import android.os.Bundle;

import android.app.Activity;

import android.view.Menu;

 

public class AnimationUsingView extends Activity

{

    MyView a1;

    @Override

    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)

    {

        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

        a1=new MyView(getApplicationContext());

        setContentView(a1);

    }

   @Override

    public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu)

    {

        // Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.

        getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.animation_using_view, menu);

        return true;

    }

} 

activity_animation_using_view.xml 

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

      xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"

      android:layout_width="match_parent"

      android:layout_height="match_parent"

      android:paddingBottom="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"

      android:paddingLeft="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"

      android:paddingRight="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"

     android:paddingTop="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"

     tools:context=".AnimationUsingView" >
</RelativeLayout>
