Image Switcher
Android image switcher provides an animation over images to transition from one image to another. In order to use image switcher, we need to implement ImageSwitcher component in .xml file.
The setFactory() method of ImageSwitcher provide implementation of ViewFactory interface. ViewFactory interface implements its unimplemented method and returns an ImageView.
Example of Image Switcher
Let's implement an image switcher.
Create activity_main.xml and content_main.xml file in layout folder.
Place some images in drawable folder which are to be switch.
