How would one emulate the header image in Google's Newsstand app?

The effect I would like to implement is a "moving" Image where the bitmap inside the ImageView is slowly panned and zoomed.

Thanks

  • do you have a specific example of what you want? Looking through the Newsstand app I can't see any sort of animations that fit your description. I can only imagine you're talking about a kind of [parallax effect](https://github.com/ideaismobile/AKParallax-Android) perhaps? – panini Nov 24 '13 at 21:50
  • No it's not the parallax effect I'm referring to it's the moving images you see behind the tabbed navigation. Select a magazine such as New Scientist and you'll see the background images in the header slowly move/animate. – Michael J Nov 24 '13 at 22:45

I stumbled across this repo on GitHub that seems like it could be what your looking for? It is a library that provides an implementation of the ActionBar used by the newsstands app, as described in this blog post by Flavien Laurent

  • what a nice library. do you know if the image on the top could also be changing its size instead of being scrolled to above the screen? – android developer Nov 25 '13 at 23:23
  • I would imagine so, if not you could probably fork the repo and swap out the animation for one more to your liking. – panini Nov 25 '13 at 23:24
  • just to be clear, i'm talking about the large image, the background behind the action bar icon. do you think they have it? – android developer Nov 25 '13 at 23:25

    That is called as the Ken Burns effect and more information is [Here](https://github.com/flavioarfaria/KenBurnsView) - Maybe helpful for someone who stumbles upon here. – Skynet Oct 14 '14 at 07:11
