Gallery features
- With a large number of images the application will work stably without OutOfMemoryError;
- Animated transitions between images;
- Ability to loop the gallery.
Preparing resources
Source code
strings.xml
<resources>
<string name="app_name">ViewFlipperExample</string>
<string name="str_loop">Looped</string>
<string name="str_pages">%1$s/%2$s</string>
</resources>
From here you can download the necessary images to the gallery.
Will also create
animation files for transitions between images.
Source code:

Both the layout of the application. It will consist of ViewFlipper, TextView to display the current page and the CheckBox to be able to loop the gallery.
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<ViewFlipper
android:id="@+id/gallery"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1" />
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal" >
<CheckBox
android:id="@+id/checkBoxLoop"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="@string/str_loop" />
<TextView
android:id="@+id/txtPages"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:gravity="center"/>
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>
Source code
gallery_item.xml:
<ImageView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="@+id/gallery_item"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:scaleType="centerInside" >
</ImageView>
Development
The idea of
the gallery is to
store in memory only one View from the current image. In the transition to the
next image, add a new View to the ViewFlipper, and the current to remove. Such
a way application memory is not increased.
Will
develop the galleries of the main Activity (MainActivity).
We need the
following attributes:
- UI elements
private ViewFlipper gallery;
private TextView txtPages;
private CheckBox checkBoxLoop;
private LayoutInflater inflater = null;
- Coordinate X when clicking on ViewFlipper
private float fromPosition;
- The index of the current image
private int count;
- List of images
private List<Bitmap> items;
Develop the
main methods for the gallery:
- Preparing View with the image
private View addImage(Bitmap bitmap)
{
ImageView view = (ImageView)inflater.inflate(R.layout.gallery_item, null);
view.setImageBitmap(bitmap);
return view;
}
- Deleting an image from the gallery
private void removeImages()
{
if (gallery.getChildCount() > 2)
{
gallery.removeViewAt(0);
System.gc();
}
}
- Adding images to the gallery, depending on the direction
private void addNextImage(int position, boolean isLeft)
{
if (isLeft)
{
if (position >= 0)
{
gallery.addView(addImage(items.get(position)));
}
} else
{
if (position < items.size())
gallery.addView(addImage(items.get(position)));
}
}
- Update UI elements
private void updateTextView()
{
String pages = String.format(getString(R.string.str_pages), (count + 1), items.size());
txtPages.setText(pages);
}
- Go to the next image
public void next()
{
if (count >= items.size() - 1 && !checkBoxLoop.isChecked())
return;
else if (count >= items.size() - 1 && checkBoxLoop.isChecked())
count = -1;
count++;
addNextImage(count, false);
gallery.setInAnimation(AnimationUtils.loadAnimation(this, R.anim.go_next_in));
gallery.setOutAnimation(AnimationUtils.loadAnimation(this, R.anim.go_next_out));
gallery.showNext();
removeImages();
updateTextView();
}
- Go to previous image
public void previous()
{
if (count <= 0 && !checkBoxLoop.isChecked())
return;
else if (count <= 0 && checkBoxLoop.isChecked())
count = items.size();
count--;
addNextImage(count, true);
gallery.setInAnimation(AnimationUtils.loadAnimation(this, R.anim.go_prev_in));
gallery.setOutAnimation(AnimationUtils.loadAnimation(this, R.anim.go_prev_out));
gallery.showNext();
removeImages();
updateTextView();
}
- Initialize the list with images
private void initList()
{
items = new ArrayList();
items.add(BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(), R.drawable.sample_0));
items.add(BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(), R.drawable.sample_1));
items.add(BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(), R.drawable.sample_2));
items.add(BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(), R.drawable.sample_3));
items.add(BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(), R.drawable.sample_4));
items.add(BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(), R.drawable.sample_5));
items.add(BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(), R.drawable.sample_6));
items.add(BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(), R.drawable.sample_7));
}
Finally,
consistent with the work of galleries in the method onCreate our Activity:
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
initList();
inflater = (LayoutInflater) getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
this.txtPages = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.txtPages);
this.checkBoxLoop = (CheckBox)findViewById(R.id.checkBoxLoop);
this.gallery = (ViewFlipper)findViewById(R.id.gallery);
this.gallery.setOnTouchListener(new OnTouchListener() {
@Override
public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
switch (event.getAction())
{
case MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN:
fromPosition = event.getX();
break;
case MotionEvent.ACTION_UP:
float toPosition = event.getX();
if (fromPosition > toPosition + 20)
{
next();
return true;
}
else if (fromPosition < toPosition - 20)
{
previous();
return true;
}
default:
break;
}
return true;
}
});
gallery.addView(addImage(items.get(0)));
updateTextView();
}
