  • Do you mean so it actually looks like a page turning or just Views sliding left and right when you swipe your finger across the display? – Intrications Oct 06 '09 at 08:37

Take a look at this.

It's a Calculator application, which changes between normal/scientific mode on swipe gesture:

onFling(MotionEvent, MotionEvent, float, float)

It uses TranslateAnimation to accomplish the effect, but dragging between the views and tracking your finger, like in the iPhone is not implemented. Try using 

onScroll(MotionEvent, MotionEvent, float, float)

for that.

As for Flexbook-like component, it shouldn't be hard to implement, if you use the masking approach.

Android M3 (pre-1.0 version) even had PageTurner widget, but it got deprecated, since it wasn't generic-enough, like the other widgets. You can try and dig up the old Android sources to find the implementation of PageTurner and modify it for Cupcake/Donut.

  • Yup, unfortunately Google Code Search was shut down. Here's another location of the component: http://gitorious.org/0xdroid/packages_apps_calculator/blobs/42d696406d2e83c3cbb1bd424ed53f6676121e8f/src/com/android/calculator2/PanelSwitcher.java – Dimitar Dimitrov Mar 09 '12 at 13:03
