Sliding Window

Overview

Sliding Window is a fullscreen window that slides in and out of the screen during pop and unpop events. Use it to create transition effects between screens.

Source Code

SlidingWindow class

package com.totalcross;

import totalcross.ui.Container;
import totalcross.ui.Presenter;
import totalcross.ui.SlidingWindow;

public class MySlidingWindow extends SlidingWindow {

    public MySlidingWindow(boolean delayInitUI, Presenter<Container> provider) {
        super(delayInitUI, provider);
    }

    public MySlidingWindow(Presenter<Container> provider, int animDir,
                                                          int totalTime){
        super(provider);
        this.animDir = animDir; // This can be LEFT or RIGHT, any other will
                                // be BOTTOM
        this.totalTime = totalTime; // Time, in milliseconds for the animation
    }
}

Calling the SlidingWindow

MySlidingWindow slidingWindow = new MySlidingWindow(new Presenter<Container>(){
            
		 @Override
		 public Container getView() {
				return new Container() {
          public void initUI() {
            ImageControl i;
            try {
                i = new ImageControl(new Image("images/logoV.png"));
                i.scaleToFit = true;
                i.centerImage = true;
                add(i, CENTER, CENTER, 100 + DP, 100 + DP);
            } catch (IOException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            } catch (ImageException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
          };
        };
	   }
}, RIGHT, 500);
slidingWindow.popup();

Methods

Type	Name	Description
Constructor	SlidingWindow(Presenter<Container> provider)	Creates a SlidingWindow with the specified provider. Use the provider class to implement your view code.
Constructor	SlidingWindow(Presenter<Container> provider, boolean delayInitUI)	Creates a SlidingWindow with the specified provider and if it should delay the InitUI execution. Use the delayed InitUI if your screen takes a significant amount of time to load (e.g., it fetches data from a server) and the non-delayed InitUI if it is fast enough to be loaded prior to the animation. If the delayed option is used, the screen will popup with a spinner.
void	unpop( )	Unpops the SlidingWindow, hiding it.
void	popup( )	Popups the SlidingWindow, showing it.
