Smooth slide image one way

Question

I have image which is symmetrical and I want to move it infinitly from right to left smoothly. I tried to use TranslateAnimation but first I have to properly set my image which is quite difficult mainly because this image is using all screen width and I should set negative margins. Are there any other solution? And is there a possibility to move image without moving ImageView?

you can use pager also for this. here is demo codetheory.in/… – Cannabis

Yeah, the 'proper' way would be to use a ViewPager to swipe images. – Lefty

Answer 1

Finally I made it by my own and the solution is to put 2 images on each other and then measure screen width and use 2 TranslateAnimation, one from screen width to 0 and second one from 0 to -screen width:

    TranslateAnimation anim = new TranslateAnimation(0, -screenWidth, 0, 0);
    TranslateAnimation anim2 = new TranslateAnimation(screenWidth, 0, 0, 0);
    anim.setDuration(5000);
    anim.setRepeatCount(Animation.INFINITE);
    anim.setInterpolator(new LinearInterpolator());
    anim2.setDuration(5000);
    anim2.setRepeatCount(Animation.INFINITE);
    anim2.setInterpolator(new LinearInterpolator());
    backgroundOverlayImage.startAnimation(anim);
    backgroundOverlayImage2.startAnimation(anim2);

Answer 2

I think this is what you are trying to do:

        TranslateAnimation anim = new TranslateAnimation(0, -1000, 0, 0);
        anim.setDuration(1500);
        anim.setFillAfter(true);
        anim.setRepeatCount(0);
        anim.setInterpolator(this, Android.Resource.Animation.LinearInterpolator);

Edit: at the end don't forget imageView.startAnimation(anim);

There are few problems with this solution, it can show blank space when image is moved too much and I have to set negative margins to make it working. – Botheration
