Might be your best bet to just layer your layout in a FrameLayout or RelativeLayout with a ViewSwitcher behind it. See the demo (and related layouts) in the Android API Demos app (that uses an ImageSwitcher, which is a special-case adapter-based subclass of ViewSwitcher ). It does mean an extra ViewGroup level in your app, but unless you're doing something especially complicated (nesting these in ListView rows or something) it should perform just fine, and handles the transition animations for you.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
