ViewFlipper FLICKERING problem?

Question

I have a ViewFlipper with two ImageView widgets. I have set the in and out animation as android.R.anim.slide_in_left and android.R.anim.slide_out_right

Now when the two ImageViews have two different drawables, then the animation is sleek and smooth. But when I set the both the ImageViews to the same Drawable, the screen flickers. Why is this happening and how do I prevent it?

Answer 1

I think you might want to use Drawable.mutate() to prevent the drawable from being reused. :-)
