Example of ViewSwitcher

android.widget.ViewSwitcher is a sub-class of ViewAnimator, switches between two views, and has a factory from which these views are created. You can either use the factory to create the views, or add them yourself.

A ViewSwitcher can only have two child views, of which only one is shown at a time. If you have more than two child views in ViewSwitch, java.lang.IllegalStateException of "Can't add more than 2 views to a ViewSwitcher" will happen.

Example of ViewSwitcher

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:paddingBottom="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
    android:paddingLeft="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
    android:paddingRight="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
    android:paddingTop="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
    tools:context=".MainActivity" >

    <TextView
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
        android:autoLink="web"
        android:text="http://android-er.blogspot.com/"
        android:textStyle="bold" />

    <LinearLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:orientation="horizontal" >

        <Button
            android:id="@+id/prev"
            android:layout_width="0dp"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_weight="1"
            android:text="previous" />

        <Button
            android:id="@+id/next"
            android:layout_width="0dp"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_weight="1"
            android:text="next" />
    </LinearLayout>

    <ViewSwitcher
        android:id="@+id/viewswitcher"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" >

        <ImageView
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:src="@drawable/ic_launcher" />

        <LinearLayout
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:gravity="center"
            android:orientation="vertical" >

            <Button
                android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:text="- Button 2 -" />

            <TextView
                android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:text="LinearLayout 2" />
        </LinearLayout>
    </ViewSwitcher>

</LinearLayout>

package com.example.androidviewswitcher;

import android.os.Bundle;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.View.OnClickListener;
import android.view.animation.Animation;

public class MainActivity extends Activity {

 Animation slide_in_left, slide_out_right;

 @Override
 protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
  super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
  setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

  buttonPrev = (Button) findViewById(R.id.prev);
  buttonNext = (Button) findViewById(R.id.next);
  viewSwitcher = (ViewSwitcher) findViewById(R.id.viewswitcher);

  slide_in_left = AnimationUtils.loadAnimation(this,
    android.R.anim.slide_in_left);
  slide_out_right = AnimationUtils.loadAnimation(this,
    android.R.anim.slide_out_right);

  viewSwitcher.setInAnimation(slide_in_left);
  viewSwitcher.setOutAnimation(slide_out_right);

  buttonPrev.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

   @Override
   public void onClick(View arg0) {
    viewSwitcher.showPrevious();
   }
  });

  buttonNext.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

   @Override
   public void onClick(View arg0) {
    viewSwitcher.showNext();
   }
  });
  ;
 }

}
