StackView implementation in Android 2.X

Question

Need to implement a View which contains 5 Images placed in stack order. When user move finger up or down at this View picture replace each other.

This approach looks like StackView in Android 3.0, but standard StackView displays applications and it works from API 11 level and I develop for Eclair.

Would like to know if you know some sources where this kind of view has already implemented for Android 2.X, or may be you'll give me an advice to try another one approach to implement this stylization kind.

Answer 1

One option may be to pull the StackView source from a recent Android source base and place it in your application. If I were to do this I would certainly change the package name, and in order to maintain forward compatibility I would see if the original class exists on the platform and use that instead.

If I were to implement what you describe without consideration for having StackView, I would think this could be done easily enough by overriding ImageView and giving my class an array of images to have the source cycle through.
