Custom Animations

[robertoestivill]

Greetings,

I have been browsing the code for a few hours, and I couldn't find a way to use the library with custom animations, meaning that we are limited by the animations provided in the Techniques enum.

Is there any way I can extends BaseViewAnimator to provide custom (programmer defined) animations to be used within the library or do I need to roll old fashioned animations manually?

Thanks
Robert

Hey, guy.
You need to create a new class which extends from BaseViewAnimator and override the prepare method.

[robertoestivill]

Correct, that would be the first step.
But what I don't seem to get is how to use it and pass it in to be used as any of the animations defined in the library.

YoYo.with( ) is not an option, since it takes a Technique which is an already defined Enum.
I can't instantiate YoYo, YoYoString, or AnimationComposer since the constructor methods are private.

So how do I provide the BaseViewAnimator subclass for the library to use?

It's really a problem... my bad design...

I'll fix this before tommorow.

[robertoestivill]

Cool, thanks for the quick fix.
Any plans on doing a release to maven repos soon ?

[daimajia]

I'm releasing a new version, wait a second. Please have a test if it works well.

I modified the ExampleActivity in the demo to use a custom BaseViewAnimator and everything works just fine. Also the code changes look clean to me.

Thanks

Cool, after 10(or maybe longer ) minutes, you can update your gradle to version 1.1.3.

Hi,
if you have time, could you please also update the JAR download links in the README section of the project, so the updates can be used in Eclipse as well?

Thanks!

[daimajia]

Ok, I'll do it right now.
