GridLayoutAnimationController

open class GridLayoutAnimationController : LayoutAnimationController
kotlin.Any
   ↳ android.view.animation.LayoutAnimationController
   ↳ android.view.animation.GridLayoutAnimationController

A layout animation controller is used to animated a grid layout's children. While LayoutAnimationController relies only on the index of the child in the view group to compute the animation delay, this class uses both the X and Y coordinates of the child within a grid. In addition, the animation direction can be controlled. The default direction is DIRECTION_LEFT_TO_RIGHT | DIRECTION_TOP_TO_BOTTOM. You can also set the animation priority to columns or rows. The default priority is none. Information used to compute the animation delay of each child are stored in an instance of android.view.animation.GridLayoutAnimationController.AnimationParameters, itself stored in the android.view.ViewGroup.LayoutParams of the view.

XML attributes

android:columnDelay

android:columnDelay
Fraction of the animation duration used to delay the beginning of the animation of each column.

May be a floating point value, such as "1.2".

May be a fractional value, which is a floating point number appended with either % or %p, such as "14.5%". The % suffix always means a percentage of the base size; the optional %p suffix provides a size relative to some parent container.

android:direction

android:direction
Direction of the animation in the grid.

Must be one or more (separated by '|') of the following constant values.

Constant Value Description
bottom_to_top 2 Animates rows from bottom to top.
left_to_right 0 Animates columns from left to right.
right_to_left 1 Animates columns from right to left.
top_to_bottom 0 Animates rows from top to bottom.

android:directionPriority

android:directionPriority
Priority of the rows and columns. When the priority is none, both rows and columns have the same priority. When the priority is column, the animations will be applied on the columns first. The same goes for rows.

Must be one of the following constant values.

Constant Value Description
column 1 Columns are animated first.
none 0 Rows and columns are animated at the same time.
row 2 Rows are animated first.

android:rowDelay

android:rowDelay
Fraction of the animation duration used to delay the beginning of the animation of each row.

May be a floating point value, such as "1.2".

May be a fractional value, which is a floating point number appended with either % or %p, such as "14.5%". The % suffix always means a percentage of the base size; the optional %p suffix provides a size relative to some parent container.
