Android CoverFlow

It's been a while now and I've been pretty busy with life, work, and other things, but at last here's a new version of the coverflow widget that I released a while back. There's not really much new functionality here, but I have cut down the amount of code needed by a lot. Gone are the CoverAbsSpinner and the CoverAdapterView classes and now we are left with just the CoverFlow class weighing in at less than 200 lines of code. Of course, you still have to instantiate it and populate it using an ImageAdapter so I'll also include the activity class for doing those tasks as well.

Background

The basic idea is that the Coverflow widget works very much like the standard Android Gallery widget, but with the addition of the rotation of the images. For more background information on the Coverflow widget see my original post here. 

How to use
In your Android project create a package called com.example.coverflow, and in this place the CoverFlow class. Now all you need is an activity to instantiate the Coverflow widget in this example the activity class is called CoverflowExample. CoverFlowExample simply extends Activity and instantiates a Coverflow class in it's onCreate method. It also has an internal Class, ImageAdapter which we use as the adapter for the Coverflow widget, much as we would for a Gallery widget. It is also possible to use the Coverflow widget when it is specified in an XML layout file.

The CoverFlow and CoverflowExample classes are here:

Code explanation

The CoverflowExample Code contains some extra code for creating reflections of the images, but apart from this is a standard activity class of the kind used with the Gallery widget.

The CoverFlow class extends the Gallery widget , but now we override a few methods to allow us to transform the images before they are displayed. The most important method that we override is the getChildStaticTransformation method. Here I have to say thank you to a user called Nerdrow on the Android developers group who first showed me an example of overriding this method.  By setting setStaticTransformationsEnabled in the constructors, we are telling the parent ViewGroup of the Coverflow class to invoke getChildStaticTransformation every time one of our images in drawn. In getChildStaticTransformation we simply calculate and apply a rotation and scale to the ImageView depending on it's position relative to the centre of the Coverflow widget. We also override the onSizeChanged method. This method is called every time the widget changes size e.g. when we change the orientation of the phone from portrait to landscape. In the onSizeChanged method we just get the centre position of the coverflow widget. There are also a few parameters that we can set, mZoomMax controls the maximum zoom of the central image and mMaxRotationAngle sets the maximum rotation angle of each image.

上述代码后半段的显示顺序有问题，需要重写Gallery的getChildDrawingOrder方法。

@Overrideprotected int getChildDrawingOrder(int childCount, int i){int mFirstPosition = getFirstVisiblePosition();int mSelectedPosition = getSelectedItemPosition();int selectedIndex = mSelectedPosition - mFirstPosition;if (i == 0){lastPosition = 0;}int ret = 0;if (selectedIndex < 0){return i;}if (i == childCount - 1){ret = selectedIndex;}else if (i >= selectedIndex){lastPosition++;ret = childCount - lastPosition;}else{ret = i;}return ret;}
