How does Android's setDrawingCacheEnabled() work?

Question

I have a UI where the root layout is a RelativeLayout. It has a number of Views, such as fields, buttons, etc.

There are also two other panels that are initially invisib

Answer 1

You may want to build your drawing cache before using it, otherwise It will give you a blank bitmap

  public void someButtonClicked(View view) {
    detailPanel.startAnimation(detailEnterAnimation);
    detailPanel.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
    detailPanel.setDrawingCacheEnabled(true);
    detailPanel.buildDrawingCache();  //may be you need to add this?
  }
