Two-part transition animation in Android: Slide a textview out to the left, and bring another in from the right?

Just set the "offscreen" textview with the secondary text and it will nicely scroll into view without having to worry about the sleight of hand you're working on now :-).

I find the simplest way to do this is using AnimationListeners. Set the Animation Listener on the initial animation. Then, use the onAnimationEnd to start your second animation.

Android doesn't allow you to start another animation directly from onAnimationEnd, so you will need to use a handler. Here is a basic outline of what I usually use. @Override public void onAnimationEnd(Animation animation) { Handler curHandler = new Handler(); curHandler.

Post(launchSecondAnimation); } private Runnable launchSecondAnimation = new Runnable() { public void run() { // Change the text of the textbox and start the second animation } }.

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.
