Android ViewFlipper ZOrder

I am attempting to use a view flipper to animate the transition between 2 views. It seems that, by default, the ViewFlipper places the Out animation above the In animation in Z order. Is there a way to get the incoming animation to display over the outgoing animation?

Thanks

You can find this feature in the Android Launcher. Since Android is open source you can just copy and work with it.

Take this code called DragableSpace: http://pastebin.com/CgK8TCQS. In your activity you call:

setContentView(R.layout.main);

with:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<de.android.projects.DragableSpace
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/de.android.projects"
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" 
    android:id="@+id/space"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    app:default_screen="1">
    <include android:id="@+id/left" layout="@layout/left_screen" />
    <include android:id="@+id/center" layout="@layout/initial_screen" />
    <include android:id="@+id/right" layout="@layout/right_screen" />
</de.android.projects.DragableSpace>

Like you can see you can define a homescreen for your application using just xml ;)

Define each view (initial, right and left) like this:

<LinearLayout android:id="@+id/center"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:orientation="vertical" android:background="@color/orange">
    <Button android:text="Initial Screen" android:id="@+id/Button2"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:padding="10dp" android:layout_margin="10dp">
    </Button>
</LinearLayout>
