I have a 2.67 GHz Celeron processor, 1.21 GB of RAM on a x86 Windows XP Professional machine. My understanding is that the Android emulator should start fairly quickly on such a machine, but for me it does not. I have followed all instructions in setting up the IDE, SDKs, JDKs and such and have had some success in staring the emulator quickly but is very particulary. How can I, if possible, fix this problem?
I ended up figuring out a (pretty good) solution for this problem!
ReplyDeleteYou can use a TransitionDrawable to accomplish this. For example, in an xml file in the drawable folder you could write something like:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<transition xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<!-- The drawables used here can be solid colors, gradients, shapes, images, etc. -->
<item android:drawable="@drawable/original_state" />
<item android:drawable="@drawable/new_state" />
</transition>
Then, in your xml for the actual View you would reference this TransitionDrawable in the android:background attribute.
At this point you can initiate the transition in your code on-command by doing:
TransitionDrawable transition = (TransitionDrawable) viewObj.getBackground();
transition.startTransition(transitionTime);
Or run the transition in reverse by calling:
transition.reverseTransition(transitionTime);
I hope this helps you solve your problem!
