Android:ViewSwitcher

ViewSwitcher

1. ViewSwitcher is a subclass of ViewAnimator which is a subclass of Fragment.

2. A ViewSwitcher is a ViewAnimator that switches between two views, and has a factory(ViewFactory) from which these views are created.

　 You can either use the factory to create the views, or add them yourself. A ViewSwitcher can only have two child views, of which only one is shown at a time.

3.The following demo is a sample to learn about ViewSwitcher:

activity_main.xml

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    tools:context=".MainActivity" >
    
    <com.slowalker.viewswitcher.SlideMenuSwitcher
        android:id="@+id/slide_view"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        />
    
    <Button 
        android:id="@+id/pre_screen"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
        android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
        android:text="Previous Screen"
        />
    
    <Button 
        android:id="@+id/next_screen"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
        android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
        android:text="Next Screen"
        />
