*** ** * ** *** A layout animation controller is used to animated a grid layout's children. While[LayoutAnimationController](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/animation/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[GridLayoutAnimationController.AnimationParameters](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/animation/GridLayoutAnimationController.AnimationParameters), itself stored in the[ViewGroup.LayoutParams](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/ViewGroup.LayoutParams)of the view. **See also:** -

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 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 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 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.

| Parameters || |---------------|------------------------------------------------------| | `columnDelay` | `float`: a fraction of the animation duration
| **See also:** - [getColumnDelay()](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/animation/GridLayoutAnimationController#getColumnDelay()) - [getRowDelay()](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/animation/GridLayoutAnimationController#getRowDelay()) - [setRowDelay(float)](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/animation/GridLayoutAnimationController#setRowDelay(float)) ### setDirection Added in[API level 1](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels) ``` public void setDirection (int direction) ``` Sets the direction of the animation. The direction is expressed as an integer containing a horizontal and vertical component. For instance,`DIRECTION_BOTTOM_TO_TOP | DIRECTION_RIGHT_TO_LEFT`.
| Parameters || |-------------|----------------------------------------------| | `direction` | `int`: the direction of the animation

For instance,[PRIORITY_COLUMN](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/animation/GridLayoutAnimationController#PRIORITY_COLUMN)will give priority to columns: the animation will first play on the column, then on the rows.Z
| Parameters || |---------------------|-------------------------------------------------------| | `directionPriority` | `int`: the direction priority of the animation
| **See also:** - [getDirectionPriority()](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/animation/GridLayoutAnimationController#getDirectionPriority()) - [PRIORITY_COLUMN](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/animation/GridLayoutAnimationController#PRIORITY_COLUMN) - [PRIORITY_NONE](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/animation/GridLayoutAnimationController#PRIORITY_NONE) - [PRIORITY_ROW](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/animation/GridLayoutAnimationController#PRIORITY_ROW) ### setRowDelay Added in[API level 1](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels) ``` public void setRowDelay (float rowDelay) ``` Sets the delay, as a fraction of the animation duration, by which the children's animations are offset from one row to the other.
| Parameters || |------------|------------------------------------------------------| | `rowDelay` | `float`: a fraction of the animation duration
| **See also:** - [getRowDelay()](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/animation/GridLayoutAnimationController#getRowDelay()) - [getColumnDelay()](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/animation/GridLayoutAnimationController#getColumnDelay()) - [setColumnDelay(float)](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/animation/GridLayoutAnimationController#setColumnDelay(float)) ### willOverlap Added in[API level 1](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels) ``` public boolean willOverlap () ``` Indicates whether two children's animations will overlap. Animations overlap when the delay is lower than 100% (or 1.0).
| Returns || |-----------|---------------------------------------------------------| | `boolean` | true if animations will overlap, false otherwise
| ## Protected methods ### getDelayForView Added in[API level 1](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels) ``` protected long getDelayForView (View view) ``` Returns the amount of milliseconds by which the specified view's animation must be delayed or offset. Subclasses should override this method to return a suitable value. This implementation returns`child animation delay`milliseconds where: ``` child animation delay = child index * delay ``` The index is retrieved from the[LayoutAnimationController.AnimationParameters](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/animation/LayoutAnimationController.AnimationParameters)found in the view's[ViewGroup.LayoutParams](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/ViewGroup.LayoutParams).

| Parameters || |--------|-------------------------------------------------------------------| | `view` | `View`: the view for which to obtain the animation's delay
| | Returns || |--------|--------------------------------| | `long` | a delay in milliseconds
