Suggestion: freeze / unfreeze view about kenburnsview HOT 4 CLOSED

Have you tried calling kbv.pause() before performing your animation?

That was in fact the first thing I tried, then null image, then null generator. The exception was thrown each time.

The library was not created with view transformations in mind. This is because the transition will break if the view bounds change. There may not exist enough image surface to accomodate extra space that a view gains when its dimensions increase. Besides that, it would be cumbersome to force custom generators to support it.

Make sure you really need to deal with bound animation, sometimes you can achieve the same effect by using translations instead, just by overlaying your KBV with a sibling view. However, if you REALLY need to change bounds, there's something you could try, but I'm not sure if it'll work:

1. Before you start your animation, grab a snapshot of the view by calling kbv.getDrawingCache(). You may need to callbuildDrawingCache() right before, but I'm not sure.
2. Add a regular ImageView to your hierarchy exactly on top of your KenBurnsView and make it display the cached bitmap.
3. Animate the regular ImageView.
4. Now replace the old KenBurnsView with a new one with new bounds and then hide the regular ImageView.

As a side effect, you'll have a transition mismatch after this animation, since you're now dealing with a different KBV.

Thanks for the suggestion, I guess I will go for that. For now I just put the visibility to Gone, the parent view will just scale down and I'll later attempt to put a dummy imageview as you said. I'll post again here if I found a better solution for future reference.
