In Code (Java)
// Flips the view with or without animation
mYourFlipView.flipTheView();
mYourFlipView.flipTheView(false);
// Sets and Gets the Flip Animation Duration in milliseconds (Default is 400 ms)
mYourFlipView.setFlipDuration(1000);
int dur = mYourFlipView.getFlipDuration();
// Sets and gets the flip enable status (Default is true)
mYourFlipView.setFlipEnabled(false);
boolean flipStatus = mYourFlipView.isFlipEnabled();
// Sets and gets the flip on touch status (Default is true)
mYourFlipView.setFlipOntouch(false);
boolean flipTouchStatus = mYourFlipView.isFlipOnTouch();
// Get current flip state in enum (FlipState.FRONT_SIDE or FlipState.BACK_SIDE)
EasyFlipView.FlipState flipSide = mYourFlipView.getCurrentFlipState();
// Get whether front/back side of flip is visible or not.
boolean frontVal = mYourFlipView.isFrontSide();
boolean backVal = mYourFlipView.isBackSide();
// Get/Set the FlipType to FlipType.Horizontal
boolean isHorizontal = mYourFlipView.isHorizontalType();
mYourFlipView.setToHorizontalType();
// Get/Set the FlipType to FlipType.Vertical
boolean isVertical = mYourFlipView.isVerticalType();
mYourFlipView.setToVerticalType();
// Get/Set if the auto flip back is enabled
boolean isAutoFlipBackEnabled = mYourFlipView.isAutoFlipBack();
mYourFlipView.setAutoFlipBack(true);
// Get/Set the time in milliseconds (ms) after the view is auto flip back to original front side
int autoflipBackTimeInMilliseconds = mYourFlipView.getAutoFlipBackTime();
mYourFlipView.setAutoFlipBackTime(2000);
// Sets the animation direction from left (horizontal) and back (vertical)
easyFlipView.setFlipTypeFromLeft();
// Sets the animation direction from right (horizontal) and front (vertical)
easyFlipView.setFlipTypeFromRight();
// Sets the animation direction from front (vertical) and right (horizontal)
easyFlipView.setFlipTypeFromFront();
// Sets the animation direction from back (vertical) and left (horizontal)
easyFlipView.setFlipTypeFromBack();
// Returns the flip type from direction. For horizontal, it will be either right or left and for vertical, it will be front or back.
easyFlipView.getFlipTypeFrom();
Flip Animation Listener
EasyFlipView easyFlipView = (EasyFlipView) findViewById(R.id.easyFlipView);
easyFlipView.setOnFlipListener(new EasyFlipView.OnFlipAnimationListener() {
@Override
public void onViewFlipCompleted(EasyFlipView flipView, EasyFlipView.FlipState newCurrentSide)
{
// ...
// Your code goes here
// ...
}
});
❌ Known Issues
The EasyFlipView
doesn't flip when used in RecyclerView
. This is because the EasyFlipView
uses the onTouch()
method to intercept the touch events and flip the view accordingly. One easier solution is to disable the flipOnTouch
attribute in XML by this.
app:flipOnTouch="false"
Now, your RecyclerView
will scroll but the EasyFlipView
will not flip or animate on touch etc. You will have to manually flip the view by calling the method mYourFlipView.flipTheView()
inside the adapter or ViewHolder
class of the RecyclerView
. For example,
public class MyRecyclerViewAdapter extends RecyclerView.Adapter<MyRecyclerViewAdapter.ViewHolder> {
private List<Object> mData;
private LayoutInflater mInflater;
private ItemClickListener mClickListener;
// data is passed into the constructor
MyRecyclerViewAdapter(Context context, List<Object> data) {
this.mInflater = LayoutInflater.from(context);
this.mData = data;
}
// inflates the row layout from xml when needed
@Override
public ViewHolder onCreateViewHolder(ViewGroup parent, int viewType) {
View view = mInflater.inflate(R.layout.recyclerview_row, parent, false);
return new ViewHolder(view);
}
// binds the data to the TextView in each row
@Override
public void onBindViewHolder(ViewHolder holder, int position) {
String textData = (String) mData.get(position);
holder.myTextView.setText(textData);
}
// total number of rows
@Override
public int getItemCount() {
return mData.size();
}
// stores and recycles views as they are scrolled off screen
public class ViewHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder implements View.OnClickListener {
TextView myTextView;
EasyFlipView myEasyFlipView;
ViewHolder(View itemView) {
super(itemView);
myTextView = itemView.findViewById(R.id.tvAnimalName);
myEasyFlipView = itemView.findViewById(R.id.myEasyFlipView);
itemView.setOnClickListener(this);
}
@Override
public void onClick(View view) {
myEasyFlipView.flipTheView();
if (mClickListener != null) {
mClickListener.onItemClick(view, getAdapterPosition());
}
}
}
// convenience method for getting data at click position
String getItem(int id) {
return mData.get(id);
}
// allows clicks events to be caught
void setClickListener(ItemClickListener itemClickListener) {
this.mClickListener = itemClickListener;
}
// parent activity will implement this method to respond to click events
public interface ItemClickListener {
void onItemClick(View view, int position);
}
}
The EasyFlipView
has a strange behaviour when the back and front layouts are a CardView
. To workaround it, wrap your CardView
in a FrameLayout
or other ViewGroup
.
