android.view.animation.AlphaAnimation

java.lang.Object
	android.view.animation.Animation
		android.view.animation.AlphaAnimation

An animation that controls the alpha level of an object. Useful for fading things in and out. This animation ends up changing the alpha property of a Transformation

Summary

Constants inherited from class android.view.animation.Animation

ABSOLUTE, NO_REPEAT, RELATIVE_TO_PARENT, RELATIVE_TO_SELF, REPEAT, REVERSE

			Value
int	ABSOLUTE	The specified dimension is an absolute number of pixels.	0	0x00000000
int	NO_REPEAT	Don't do anything when the animation ends.	0	0x00000000
int	RELATIVE_TO_PARENT	The specified dimension holds a float and should be multiplied by the height or width of the parent of the object being animated.	2	0x00000002
int	RELATIVE_TO_SELF	The specified dimension holds a float and should be multiplied by the height or width of the object being animated.	1	0x00000001
int	REPEAT	Replay the animation from the beginning.	1	0x00000001
int	REVERSE	Replay the animation backwards (then forwards again).	2	0x00000002

	Object	clone()
		Answers a new instance of the same class as the receiver, whose slots have been filled in with the values in the slots of the receiver.
	boolean	equals(Object o)
		Compares the argument to the receiver, and answers true if they represent the same object using a class specific comparison.
	void	finalize()
		Called by the virtual machine when there are no longer any (non-weak) references to the receiver.
final	Class	getClass()
		Answers the unique instance of java.lang.Class which represents the class of the receiver.
	int	hashCode()
		Answers an integer hash code for the receiver.
final	void	notify()
		Causes one thread which is `wait` ing on the receiver to be made ready to run.

		Causes all threads which are `wait` ing on the receiver to be made ready to run.
	String	toString()
		Answers a string containing a concise, human-readable description of the receiver.
final	void	wait(long time, int frac)
		Causes the thread which sent this message to be made not ready to run either pending some change in the receiver (as indicated by `notify` or `notifyAll`) or the expiration of the timeout.
final	void	wait(long time)
		Causes the thread which sent this message to be made not ready to run either pending some change in the receiver (as indicated by `notify` or `notifyAll`) or the expiration of the timeout.

Public Constructors

public AlphaAnimation(Context context, AttributeSet attrs)

Constructor used whan an AlphaAnimation is loaded from a resource.

Parameters

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

public AlphaAnimation(float fromAlpha, float toAlpha)

Constructor to use when building an AlphaAnimation from code

Parameters

fromAlpha	Starting alpha value for the animation, where 1.0 means fully opaque and 0.0 means fully transparent.
toAlpha	Ending alpha value for the animation.

Public Methods

public boolean willChangeTargetViewBounds()

Indicates whether or not this animation will affect the current bounds of the target view. For instance, a fade animation will not affect the bounds whereas a scale animation will.

public boolean willChangeTransformationMatrix()

Indicates whether or not this animation will affect the transformation matrix. For instance, a fade animation will not affect the matrix whereas a scale animation will.

Protected Methods

protected void applyTransformation(float interpolatedTime, Transformation t)

Changes the alpha property of the supplied Transformation

Parameters

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