I have two views in a linear layout, I programmatically change their layout_weight property. Is there a way I could animate this change in weight so when the weight is changed v
You can simply use ObjectAnimator.
ObjectAnimator anim = ObjectAnimator.ofFloat(
viewToAnimate,
"weight",
startValue,
endValue);
anim.setDuration(2500);
anim.start();
The one problem is that View class has no setWeight() method (which is required by ObjectAnimator). To address this I wrote simple wrapper which helps archive view weight animation.
public class ViewWeightAnimationWrapper {
private View view;
public ViewWeightAnimationWrapper(View view) {
if (view.getLayoutParams() instanceof LinearLayout.LayoutParams) {
this.view = view;
} else {
throw new IllegalArgumentException("The view should have LinearLayout as parent");
}
}
public void setWeight(float weight) {
LinearLayout.LayoutParams params = (LinearLayout.LayoutParams) view.getLayoutParams();
params.weight = weight;
view.getParent().requestLayout();
}
public float getWeight() {
return ((LinearLayout.LayoutParams) view.getLayoutParams()).weight;
}
}
Use it in this way:
ViewWeightAnimationWrapper animationWrapper = new ViewWeightAnimationWrapper(view);
ObjectAnimator anim = ObjectAnimator.ofFloat(animationWrapper,
"weight",
animationWrapper.getWeight(),
weight);
anim.setDuration(2500);
anim.start();
