TransitionManager

Class Overview

This class manages the set of transitions that fire when there is a change of Scene. To use the manager, add scenes along with transition objects with calls to setTransition(Scene, Transition) or setTransition(Scene, Scene, Transition). Setting specific transitions for scene changes is not required; by default, a Scene change will use AutoTransition to do something reasonable for most situations. Specifying other transitions for particular scene changes is only necessary if the application wants different transition behavior in these situations.

TransitionManagers can be declared in XML resource files inside the res/transition directory. TransitionManager resources consist of the transitionManagertag name, containing one or more transition tags, each of which describe the relationship of that transition to the from/to scene information in that tag. For example, here is a resource file that declares several scene transitions:

<transitionManager xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <transition android:fromScene="@layout/transition_scene1"
                android:toScene="@layout/transition_scene2"
                android:transition="@transition/changebounds"/>
    <transition android:fromScene="@layout/transition_scene2"
                android:toScene="@layout/transition_scene1"
                android:transition="@transition/changebounds"/>
    <transition android:toScene="@layout/transition_scene3"
                android:transition="@transition/changebounds_fadein_together"/>
    <transition android:fromScene="@layout/transition_scene3"
                android:toScene="@layout/transition_scene1"
                android:transition="@transition/changebounds_fadeout_sequential"/>
    <transition android:fromScene="@layout/transition_scene3"
                android:toScene="@layout/transition_scene2"
                android:transition="@transition/changebounds_fadeout_sequential"/>
</transitionManager>

For each of the fromScene and toScene attributes, there is a reference to a standard XML layout file. This is equivalent to creating a scene from a layout in code by calling getSceneForLayout(ViewGroup, int, Context). For the transition attribute, there is a reference to a resource file in the res/transition directory which describes that transition.

Summary

[Expand] Inherited Methods

From class java.lang.Object Object clone() Creates and returns a copy of this Object. boolean equals(Object o) Compares this instance with the specified object and indicates if they are equal. void finalize() Invoked when the garbage collector has detected that this instance is no longer reachable. final Class<?> getClass() Returns the unique instance of Class that represents this object's class. int hashCode() Returns an integer hash code for this object. final void notify() Causes a thread which is waiting on this object's monitor (by means of calling one of the wait() methods) to be woken up. final void notifyAll() Causes all threads which are waiting on this object's monitor (by means of calling one of the wait() methods) to be woken up. String toString() Returns a string containing a concise, human-readable description of this object. final void wait() Causes the calling thread to wait until another thread calls the notify() or notifyAll() method of this object. final void wait(long millis, int nanos) Causes the calling thread to wait until another thread calls the notify() or notifyAll() method of this object or until the specified timeout expires. final void wait(long millis) Causes the calling thread to wait until another thread calls the notify() or notifyAll() method of this object or until the specified timeout expires.
