How To Emulate This Half-Transition Effect? (Android)

Question

So I've thought of an idea to update my app, but I have no idea how to implement this feature in codes.

It's not a new one actually. You can see it in Evernote and Dolphin Browser. When the user slides the view, the current view will be covered partially, and a new view of options will be the active one. Here's a video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ag_IGEgAa9M It's at the very start.

You don't need to give me the specific codes, just the general ideas and which classes to use are fine. Thanks in advance!

search for Sandroid slidingdrawer example and see this [link](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11863343/making-a-slidable-view-from-top-to-down-similar-to-the-one-in-android) — MAC, Aug 21 '12 at 11:54

Here is a similar question. Also Cyril Mottier's blog on the fly-in menu gives an elaborate idea of the implementation.

check his code i think this will help you a little bit atleast

Boolean bol=false;// to check wether the view is vissible or not //set the view you want to animate here i hav set it to vv

initiate it on mouse movment according to yor wish

if (bol) {

                         vv.setAnimation(inFromLeftAnimation());
                          vv.setVisibility(vv.VISIBLE);
                    } else {
                        vv.setAnimation(outToLeftAnimation());


                        vv.setVisibility(vv.GONE);
                    }
                bol = !bol;

                }

this is the animating portion

 public static Animation inFromLeftAnimation() {
     Animation inFromLeft = new TranslateAnimation(
     Animation.RELATIVE_TO_PARENT,  -1.0f, Animation.RELATIVE_TO_PARENT,  0.0f,
     Animation.RELATIVE_TO_PARENT,  0.0f, Animation.RELATIVE_TO_PARENT,   0.0f
     );
     inFromLeft.setDuration(350);
     inFromLeft.setInterpolator(new AccelerateInterpolator());
     return inFromLeft;
     }
public static Animation outToLeftAnimation() {
    Animation outtoLeft = new TranslateAnimation(
     Animation.RELATIVE_TO_PARENT,  0.0f, Animation.RELATIVE_TO_PARENT,  -1.0f,
     Animation.RELATIVE_TO_PARENT,  0.0f, Animation.RELATIVE_TO_PARENT,   0.0f
    );
    outtoLeft.setDuration(350);
    outtoLeft.setInterpolator(new AccelerateInterpolator());
    return outtoLeft;
    }

this is not the best method or you can try editing the sliding drawer
