1 2Android ElevationBasic Sample 3=================================== 4 5This sample demonstrates ways to move a view in the z-axis using 6`setTranslationZ()`. This method was introduced in API Level 21 ('Lollipop'). 7 8Introduction 9------------ 10 11This sample uses two shapes, a circle and a square, and it demonstrates two 12alternative ways to move a view in the z-axis. The first shape, the circle, 13has a fixed elevation, which is defined in XML. The second view, the square, 14changes its elevation using [setTranslationZ()][1] when a user touches it: 15 16 shape2.setOnTouchListener(new View.OnTouchListener() { 17 @Override 18 public boolean onTouch(View view, MotionEvent motionEvent) { 19 int action = motionEvent.getActionMasked(); 20 /* Raise view on ACTION_DOWN and lower it on ACTION_UP. */ 21 switch (action) { 22 case MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN: 23 Log.d(TAG, "ACTION_DOWN on view."); 24 view.setTranslationZ(120); 25 break; 26 case MotionEvent.ACTION_UP: 27 Log.d(TAG, "ACTION_UP on view."); 28 view.setTranslationZ(0); 29 break; 30 default: 31 return false; 32 } 33 return true; 34 } 35 }); 36 37The elevation reverts back once the touch is removed. 38 39[1]: https://developer.android.com/training/material/shadows-clipping.html#Elevation 40 41Pre-requisites 42-------------- 43 44- Android SDK 28 45- Android Build Tools v28.0.3 46- Android Support Repository 47 48Screenshots 49------------- 50 51<img src="screenshots/fixed.png" height="400" alt="Screenshot"/> <img src="screenshots/raised.png" height="400" alt="Screenshot"/> 52 53Getting Started 54--------------- 55 56This sample uses the Gradle build system.
