Howto show next row before animain is done.

Question

I have tried to solve this for days but now i try my luck here.

I use an lazy load to show my images in a custom adaper. i want to fade in images as they ar download loaded.

This is working BUT the Thread stops while animation is ON

public void run()
    {
        if(bitmap!=null) {
    myProgressBar.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);
    imageView.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
    Animation animation = new AlphaAnimation(0.0f,1.0f);
    animation.setDuration(800);
    imageView.startAnimation(animation);
    imageView.setImageBitmap(bitmap);
        }else {
            myProgressBar.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
            imageView.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);
            imageView.setImageResource();
        }

what I want to do is to show next row even if the privius animaion not are finished.

Any ides?

Answer 1

This is so because the thread hasn't anything more to execute after the line

imageView.setImageBitmap(bitmap);

is reached.

Although you set a duration of 800 ms, Java doesn't wait on the startAnimation line until this 800 ms are over. If you want to stop your thread after the animation is completed I would recommend to use an AnimationListener to get notified when the animation ends.
