Animation doesn't end - Android

In my app, I have a button to show a drop-down menu, inside of that menu we have some options, one of this is "flip A coin",
the purpose of this option is to flip a coin easy animation, that animation appears inside a textView, and show a head-side or a tail-side of a coin instead of the text in the textView.
I have two problems:
The animation doesn't work how I want, it should appear in 1 second a coin instead of the text inside the textView, it stays there and after 2 seconds he disappears, but after the disappearance, the coin image come back inside the textView, it shouldn't reappear.
This is not a real question for a problem but more an optional question like "you know how to do that?". I 'don't know how to create a flip animation with a coin multiple rotations.
XML drop down menu:
<item
android:id="#+id/flipacoin"
android:title="#string/flipACoin" />
<item
android:id="#+id/rolladice"
android:title="#string/rollADice" />
<item
android:id="#+id/imagebackground"
android:title="#string/changeImage" />
JAVA code that calls the animation function:
#Override
public boolean onMenuItemClick(MenuItem item) {
switch (item.getItemId()){
case R.id.flipacoin:
flipACoin();
return true;
case R.id.rolladice:
Toast.makeText(this,"TODO roll a dice",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
return true;
case R.id.imagebackground:
Toast.makeText(this,"TODO image background",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
return true;
default:
return false;
}
}
JAVA animation function:
public void flipACoin(){
coin.setText(null); //this is for remove the text inside the textView
coin.setBackground(RANDOM.nextFloat() > 0.5f ? getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.tails) : getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.heads));
Animation fadeIn = new AlphaAnimation(0, 1);
fadeIn.setInterpolator(new DecelerateInterpolator());
fadeIn.setDuration(1000);
Animation fadeOut = new AlphaAnimation(1, 0);
fadeOut.setInterpolator(new AccelerateInterpolator());
fadeOut.setStartOffset(2000);
fadeOut.setDuration(1000);
AnimationSet animation = new AnimationSet(false);
animation.addAnimation(fadeIn);
animation.addAnimation(fadeOut);
coin.setAnimation(animation);
}

When You set background at the beginning it just stays after animation. To set back text and background to null You can add Animation listener. Below is sample application which does it:
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity
{
TextView coin;
Random RANDOM;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
RANDOM = new Random();
coin = findViewById(R.id.coin);
(findViewById(R.id.click)).setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener()
{
#Override
public void onClick(View view)
{
flipACoin();
}
});
}
public void flipACoin()
{
coin.setText(null);
coin.setBackground(ResourcesCompat.getDrawable(getResources(),
RANDOM.nextFloat() > 0.5f ? R.drawable.ic_launcher_background : R.drawable.ic_launcher_foreground,
null
));
Animation fadeIn = new AlphaAnimation(0, 1);
fadeIn.setInterpolator(new DecelerateInterpolator());
fadeIn.setDuration(1000);
Animation fadeOut = new AlphaAnimation(1, 0);
fadeOut.setInterpolator(new AccelerateInterpolator());
fadeOut.setStartOffset(2000);
fadeOut.setDuration(1000);
AnimationSet animation = new AnimationSet(false);
animation.addAnimation(fadeIn);
animation.addAnimation(fadeOut);
// listener, it will execute function when animation starts/ends/repeats
animation.setAnimationListener(new Animation.AnimationListener()
{
#Override
public void onAnimationStart(Animation animation)
{
Log.d("MyTag", "onAnimationStart:");
}
#Override
public void onAnimationEnd(Animation animation) // when animation ends, set text and background to null
{
Log.d("MyTag", "onAnimationEnd:");
coin.setBackground(null);
coin.setText("Default");
}
#Override
public void onAnimationRepeat(Animation animation)
{
Log.d("MyTag", "onAnimationRepeat:");
}
});
coin.setAnimation(animation);
}
}
activity_main.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

android:layout_width="match_parent"

TextView set image on last line

Is there any way to place the image on the last line of the TextView
I use setCompoundDrawablesWithIntrinsicBounds. Some ideas about it will be good.
Also i need to handle clicks on my image only. This behavior is represented by the following code :
textView.setCompoundDrawablesWithIntrinsicBounds(0, 0, R.drawable.info, 0);
textView.setOnTouchListener(new View.OnTouchListener() {
#Override
public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
if(event.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_UP) {
if(event.getRawX() >= textView.getRight() - textView.getTotalPaddingRight()){
listener.onAddressClicked(livingAreas);
return true;
}
}
return true;
}
});

With Text view you can set a drawable on a determinated position.
You can use this xml example:
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:drawableBottom="#drawable/image"
android:text="blablabla"/>
Programmatically:
public void setCompoundDrawables(Drawable left, Drawable top, Drawable right, Drawable bottom)
text_view.setCompoundDrawables(null, null, null, getDrawable(drawable_image_id));

Use SpannableString so that you can include image in your text. For code sample, check this question and answer

Android - Detecting when user touches a drawable left

I have a TextView that contains a DrawableRight, what I want to do is detecting when the user presses that icon in drawableRight, is that possible ? and if it is how can I do it ?
PS: I am working inside a fragment
TextView XML
<TextView
android:id="#+id/mTitle"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textIsSelectable="false"
android:textSize="22dp"
android:drawableRight="#mipmap/icn" //this is the drawable
/>

mTitle.setOnTouchListener(new View.OnTouchListener() {
#Override
public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
final int DRAWABLE_RIGHT = 2;
if (event.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_UP) {
if (event.getRawX() >= (mTitle.getRight() - mTitle.getCompoundDrawables()[DRAWABLE_RIGHT].getBounds().width())) {
//drawable pressed
return true;
}
}
return false;
}
});

Android OnDraw and onTouchEvent not working together

I am new to android development as well as the Java programming language and would definitely appreciate some help with this issue.
Currently I have some code which creates a canvas and draws a bitmap picture onto it, this appears to work. I also have another bit of code which detects where the users finger is on the devices screen and this also works. when I try to combine the two the bitmap will display but as soon as I click the screen the app crashes.
I have a feeling that this issue is with the canvas/bitmap side of this as i have also noticed that any widgets that have added to layout vanish when the canvas/bitmap feature is running.
This is the code for the canvas/bitmap:
public class myView extends View{
Bitmap image;
DisplayMetrics metrics;
public myView(Context context) {
super(context);
metrics = context.getResources().getDisplayMetrics();
// TODO Auto-generated constructor stub
image = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(), R.drawable.bhead);
}
#Override
protected void onDraw(Canvas canvas) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
super.onDraw(canvas);
int width = metrics.widthPixels;
int height = metrics.heightPixels;
Matrix matrix = new Matrix();
float angle = 90;
float imageCenterX = 50;
float imageCenterY = 50;
matrix.setRotate(angle, imageCenterX, imageCenterY);
Bitmap temp;
temp = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(), R.drawable.bhead);
image = Bitmap.createScaledBitmap(temp, 100, 100,true);
matrix.postTranslate(((width/2)-50), ((height/2)-100));
canvas.drawBitmap(image, matrix, null);
}
}
and this is the code for the finger location on the screen:
public class MainActivity extends ActionBarActivity {
myView mview;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
mview = new myView(this);
setContentView(mview);
}
#Override
public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent event) {
int x = (int)event.getX();
int y = (int)event.getY();
switch (event.getAction()) {
case MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN:
case MotionEvent.ACTION_MOVE:
case MotionEvent.ACTION_UP:
}
EditText txt = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.editText1);
txt.setText("X = "+ x +" Y = " + y);
return false;
}
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
// Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main, menu);
return true;
}
#Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
// Handle action bar item clicks here. The action bar will
// automatically handle clicks on the Home/Up button, so long
// as you specify a parent activity in AndroidManifest.xml.
int id = item.getItemId();
if (id == R.id.action_settings) {
return true;
}
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
}

Your view hierarchy does not have an EditText with the id editText1. This is because you have set the content view to be a single instance of your class MyView (class names should start with uppercase) with this code in onCreate():
mview = new myView(this);
setContentView(mview);
As a result, you get a NullPointerException on the line txt.setText("X = "+ x +" Y = " + y); because the previous line cannot find the EditText.
You need to include both views in the layout. You can use MyView in XML by writing its fully qualified name. For example:
<LinearLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<com.your.package.name.MyView
android:id="#+id/my_view"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1" />
<EditText
android:id="#+id/editText1"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
... />
</LinearLayout>

Changing properties of a view during drag

I have this code in the ACTION_DOWN of my onTouch(View v) method as follows...
if (event.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN) {
DragShadowBuilder shadowBuilder = new View.DragShadowBuilder(view);
view.startDrag(null, shadowBuilder, view, 0);
myOnClickListener.onClick(view);
return true;
}
Now my view in this case is a ChessPiece. I have chessPiece.setBackground(R.color.black) and chessPiece.setImageBitmap(pawnBitmap).
Currently when I drag the chess piece, it drags the background color with it, which I dont want. So is there anyway to remove the background of the view when it's dragging so that the DragShadow is just of the bitmap?

You have to create your own dragshadow. This example helped me when I wanted to play with the dragshadow: http://lemonycode.blogspot.be/2012/11/using-custom-dragshadowbuidler-in.html
As you can see, there are two important methods:
public void onProvideShadowMetrics(Point shadowSize, Point touchPoint)
and:
public void onDrawShadow(Canvas canvas)
The first method is used to size the dragshadow and the second to actually draw your shadow. In your case, your chess piece. You could use
Bitmap bitmap = ((BitmapDrawable)image.getDrawable()).getBitmap();
to get the bitmap and alter it before drawing it on the canvas.

On OnDragListener()
private final class MyDragListener implements OnDragListener {
#Override
public boolean onDrag(View v, DragEvent event) {
switch (event.getAction()) {
case DragEvent.ACTION_DRAG_STARTED:
getResources().getDrawable(android.graphics.Color.TRANSPARENT);
break;
....
}
return true;
}
}
This should work. Good luck!
