Show DialogFragment with animation growing from a point
I'm showing a DialogFragment when the user taps on a row in a ListView. I'd like to animate the showing of the dialog so that it grows from the center of the row. A similar effect can be seen when opening a folder from the launcher.
One idea that I've had is a combination of TranslateAnimation and ScaleAnimation. Is there another way?
Being DialogFragment a wrapper for the Dialog class, you should set a theme to your base Dialog to get the animation you want:
public class CustomDialogFragment extends DialogFragment implements OnEditorActionListener
{
@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
return super.onCreateView(inflater, container, savedInstanceState);
}
@Override
public Dialog onCreateDialog(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
// Set a theme on the dialog builder constructor!
AlertDialog.Builder builder =
new AlertDialog.Builder( getActivity(), R.style.MyCustomTheme );
builder
.setTitle( "Your title" )
.setMessage( "Your message" )
.setPositiveButton( "OK" , new DialogInterface.OnClickListener()
{
@Override
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
dismiss();
}
});
return builder.create();
}
}
Then you just need to define the theme that will include your desired animation. In styles.xml add your custom theme:
<style name="MyCustomTheme" parent="@android:style/Theme.Panel">
<item name="android:windowAnimationStyle">@style/MyAnimation.Window</item>
</style>
<style name="MyAnimation.Window" parent="@android:style/Animation.Activity">
<item name="android:windowEnterAnimation">@anim/anim_in</item>
<item name="android:windowExitAnimation">@anim/anim_out</item>
</style>
Now add the animation files in the res/anim folder:
( the android:pivotY is the key )
anim_in.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<set xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<scale
android:interpolator="@android:anim/linear_interpolator"
android:fromXScale="0.0"
android:toXScale="1.0"
android:fromYScale="0.0"
android:toYScale="1.0"
android:fillAfter="false"
android:startOffset="200"
android:duration="200"
android:pivotX = "50%"
android:pivotY = "-90%"
/>
<translate
android:fromYDelta="50%"
android:toYDelta="0"
android:startOffset="200"
android:duration="200"
/>
</set>
anim_out.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<set xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<scale
android:interpolator="@android:anim/linear_interpolator"
android:fromXScale="1.0"
android:toXScale="0.0"
android:fromYScale="1.0"
android:toYScale="0.0"
android:fillAfter="false"
android:duration="200"
android:pivotX = "50%"
android:pivotY = "-90%"
/>
<translate
android:fromYDelta="0"
android:toYDelta="50%"
android:duration="200"
/>
</set>
Finally, the tricky thing here is to get your animation grow from the center of each row. I suppose the row is filling the screen horizontally so, on one hand the android:pivotX value will be static. On the other hand, you can't modify the android:pivotY value programmatically.
What I suggest is, you define several animations each of which having a different percentage value on the android:pivotY attribute (and several themes referencing those animations). Then, when the user taps the row, calculate the Y position in percentage of the row on the screen. Knowing the position in percentage, assign a theme to your dialog that has the appropriate android:pivotY value.
It is not a perfect solution but could do the trick for you. If you don't like the result, then I would suggest forgetting the DialogFragment and animating a simple View growing from the exact center of the row.
Good luck!
Check it out this code, it works for me
// Slide up animation
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <set xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
<translate
android:duration="@android:integer/config_mediumAnimTime"
android:fromYDelta="100%"
android:interpolator="@android:anim/accelerate_interpolator"
android:toXDelta="0" />
</set>
// Slide dowm animation
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<set xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
<translate
android:duration="@android:integer/config_mediumAnimTime"
android:fromYDelta="0%p"
android:interpolator="@android:anim/accelerate_interpolator"
android:toYDelta="100%p" />
</set>
// Style
<style name="DialogAnimation">
<item name="android:windowEnterAnimation">@anim/slide_up</item>
<item name="android:windowExitAnimation">@anim/slide_down</item>
</style>
// Inside Dialog Fragment
@Override
public void onActivityCreated(Bundle arg0) {
super.onActivityCreated(arg0);
getDialog().getWindow()
.getAttributes().windowAnimations = R.style.DialogAnimation;
}
DialogFragment has a public getTheme() method that you can over ride for this exact reason. This solution uses less lines of code:
public class MyCustomDialogFragment extends DialogFragment{
...
@Override
public int getTheme() {
return R.style.MyThemeWithCustomAnimation;
}
}
To get a full-screen dialog with animation, write the following ...
Styles:
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
<item name="colorPrimary">@color/colorPrimary</item>
<item name="colorPrimaryDark">@color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
<item name="colorAccent">@color/colorAccent</item>
<item name="actionModeBackground">?attr/colorPrimary</item>
<item name="windowActionModeOverlay">true</item>
</style>
<style name="AppTheme.NoActionBar">
<item name="windowActionBar">false</item>
<item name="windowNoTitle">true</item>
</style>
<style name="AppTheme.NoActionBar.FullScreenDialog">
<item name="android:windowAnimationStyle">@style/Animation.WindowSlideUpDown</item>
</style>
<style name="Animation.WindowSlideUpDown" parent="@android:style/Animation.Activity">
<item name="android:windowEnterAnimation">@anim/slide_up</item>
<item name="android:windowExitAnimation">@anim/slide_down</item>
</style>
res/anim/slide_up.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<set xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shareInterpolator="@android:interpolator/accelerate_quad">
<translate
android:duration="@android:integer/config_shortAnimTime"
android:fromYDelta="100%"
android:toYDelta="0%"/>
</set>
res/anim/slide_down.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<set xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shareInterpolator="@android:interpolator/accelerate_quad">
<translate
android:duration="@android:integer/config_shortAnimTime"
android:fromYDelta="0%"
android:toYDelta="100%"/>
</set>
Java code:
public class MyDialog extends DialogFragment {
@Override
public int getTheme() {
return R.style.AppTheme_NoActionBar_FullScreenDialog;
}
}
private void showDialog() {
FragmentTransaction fragmentTransaction = getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction();
Fragment previous = getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentByTag(MyDialog.class.getName());
if (previous != null) {
fragmentTransaction.remove(previous);
}
fragmentTransaction.addToBackStack(null);
MyDialog dialog = new MyDialog();
dialog.show(fragmentTransaction, MyDialog.class.getName());
}
In DialogFragment, custom animation is called onCreateDialog. 'DialogAnimation' is custom animation style in previous answer.
public Dialog onCreateDialog(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
final Dialog dialog = super.onCreateDialog(savedInstanceState);
dialog.getWindow().getAttributes().windowAnimations = R.style.DialogAnimation;
return dialog;
}
