This class enables automatic animations on layout changes in ViewGroup objects. To enable
transitions for a layout container, create a LayoutTransition object and set it on any
ViewGroup by calling setLayoutTransition(LayoutTransition). This will cause
default animations to run whenever items are added to or removed from that container. To specify
custom animations, use the setAnimator() method.
One of the core concepts of these transition animations is that there are two types of changes that cause the transition and four different animations that run because of those changes. The changes that trigger the transition are items being added to a container (referred to as an "appearing" transition) or removed from a container (also known as "disappearing"). Setting the visibility of views (between GONE and VISIBLE) will trigger the same add/remove logic. The animations that run due to those events are one that animates items being added, one that animates items being removed, and two that animate the other items in the container that change due to the add/remove occurrence. Users of the transition may want different animations for the changing items depending on whether they are changing due to an appearing or disappearing event, so there is one animation for each of these variations of the changing event. Most of the API of this class is concerned with setting up the basic properties of the animations used in these four situations, or with setting up custom animations for any or all of the four.
By default, the DISAPPEARING animation begins immediately, as does the CHANGE_APPEARING
animation. The other animations begin after a delay that is set to the default duration
of the animations. This behavior facilitates a sequence of animations in transitions as
follows: when an item is being added to a layout, the other children of that container will
move first (thus creating space for the new item), then the appearing animation will run to
animate the item being added. Conversely, when an item is removed from a container, the
animation to remove it will run first, then the animations of the other children in the
layout will run (closing the gap created in the layout when the item was removed). If this
default choreography behavior is not desired, the setDuration(int, long) and
setStartDelay(int, long) of any or all of the animations can be changed as
appropriate.
The animations specified for the transition, both the defaults and any custom animations
set on the transition object, are templates only. That is, these animations exist to hold the
basic animation properties, such as the duration, start delay, and properties being animated.
But the actual target object, as well as the start and end values for those properties, are
set automatically in the process of setting up the transition each time it runs. Each of the
animations is cloned from the original copy and the clone is then populated with the dynamic
values of the target being animated (such as one of the items in a layout container that is
moving as a result of the layout event) as well as the values that are changing (such as the
position and size of that object). The actual values that are pushed to each animation
depends on what properties are specified for the animation. For example, the default
CHANGE_APPEARING animation animates the left, top, right,
bottom, scrollX, and scrollY properties.
Values for these properties are updated with the pre- and post-layout
values when the transition begins. Custom animations will be similarly populated with
the target and values being animated, assuming they use ObjectAnimator objects with
property names that are known on the target object.
This class, and the associated XML flag for containers, animateLayoutChanges="true", provides a simple utility meant for automating changes in straightforward situations. Using LayoutTransition at multiple levels of a nested view hierarchy may not work due to the interrelationship of the various levels of layout. Also, a container that is being scrolled at the same time as items are being added or removed is probably not a good candidate for this utility, because the before/after locations calculated by LayoutTransition may not match the actual locations when the animations finish due to the container being scrolled as the animations are running. You can work around that particular issue by disabling the 'changing' animations by setting the CHANGE_APPEARING and CHANGE_DISAPPEARING animations to null, and setting the startDelay of the other animations appropriately.

This flag controls whether CHANGE_APPEARING or CHANGE_DISAPPEARING animations will cause the default changing animation to be run on the parent hierarchy as well. This allows containers of transitioning views to also transition, which may be necessary in situations where the containers bounds change between the before/after states and may clip their children during the transition animations. For example, layouts with wrap_content will adjust their bounds according to the dimensions of their children.
The default changing transitions animate the bounds and scroll positions of the target views. These are the animations that will run on the parent hierarchy, not the custom animations that happen to be set on the transition. This allows custom behavior for the children of the transitioning container, but uses standard behavior of resizing/rescrolling on any changing parents.
| animateParentHierarchy | A boolean value indicating whether the parents of transitioning views should also be animated during the transition. Default value is true. |
|---|
Sets the animation used during one of the transition types that may run. Any
Animator object can be used, but to be most useful in the context of layout
transitions, the animation should either be a ObjectAnimator or a AnimatorSet
of animations including PropertyAnimators. Also, these ObjectAnimator objects
should be able to get and set values on their target objects automatically. For
example, a ObjectAnimator that animates the property "left" is able to set and get the
left property from the View objects being animated by the layout
transition. The transition works by setting target objects and properties
dynamically, according to the pre- and post-layoout values of those objects, so
having animations that can handle those properties appropriately will work best
for custom animation. The dynamic setting of values is only the case for the
CHANGE animations; the APPEARING and DISAPPEARING animations are simply run with
the values they have.
It is also worth noting that any and all animations (and their underlying PropertyValuesHolder objects) will have their start and end values set according to the pre- and post-layout values. So, for example, a custom animation on "alpha" as the CHANGE_APPEARING animation will inherit the real value of alpha on the target object (presumably 1) as its starting and ending value when the animation begins. Animations which need to use values at the beginning and end that may not match the values queried when the transition begins may need to use a different mechanism than a standard ObjectAnimator object.
