Android Question Pause an App

[ManuGarcia]

How can I pause (for 100 milliseconds, for example) to "simulate" an animation of images on continuous objects? I've tried Sleep and WaitFor but I can't get it to work. I put the code.
Thanks.

Do While tableroC(pulsadoX + 1, h) = 0
tablero(pulsadoX + 1, h - 1).Background = fondoBotones
Sleep(100)
tablero(pulsadoX + 1, h).Background = flechaAbajo
Sleep(100)
If h = 6 Then Exit
h = h + 1
Loop

Please use [code]code here...[/code] tags when posting code.

Sleep will cause the sub execution to pause and later resume.
It will not affect other events.

Thanks for the reply Erel. This loop is inside a sub that is called from Activity_create. I think that is causing me problems. The idea is to put a graphic on a button and when a certain time passes, that graphic disappears and appears on the next button, giving the sensation of a small animation.

I can't get it to work.

Sorry for the code...

Do While tableroC(pulsadoX + 1, h) = 0
    tablero(pulsadoX + 1, h - 1).Background = fondoBotones
    Sleep(100)
    tablero(pulsadoX + 1, h).Background = flechaAbajo
    Sleep(100)
    If h = 6 Then Exit
    h = h + 1
Loop

Not clear to me what you plan to do but I think this is a job for a timer.

You'd better post a small project.

 

[ManuGarcia]

Thanks to both.

The truth is that it's quite complex to explain... anyway, I've tried a timer but it doesn't work either. Or at least I don't know how to make it work... Here's a little video. When Santa pushes the sword, I would like it to show the fall more smoothly, not so abruptly. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

giving the sensation of a small animation.

There is a internal library named "Animation" to smooth movements of views. Maybe a way for you to acheive what you want.

Do While tableroC(pulsadoX + 1, h) = 0
    tablero(pulsadoX + 1, h - 1).Background = fondoBotones
    Sleep(100)
    tablero(pulsadoX + 1, h).Background = flechaAbajo
    Sleep(100)
    If h = 6 Then Exit
    h = h + 1
Loop

If I guess is correct, the code you want to move the sword from line 1 to 6,
Try doing replace your code with the following code

tableroC(pulsadoX + 1, h).SetLayoutAnimated(600, tableroC(pulsadoX + 1, h).left, tableroC(pulsadoX + 1, 6).top,  tableroC(pulsadoX + 1, h).width, tableroC(pulsadoX + 1, h).height)

I also tried it and it doesn't work. I'll keep trying. Thanks a lot.

Let's see if I can try it this week... Thanks a lot. The loop is not always from 1 to 6... Sometimes there is an obstacle before. The truth is, it's much more complex. I already have the App almost finished, if I can then I put another video. If you notice, tableroC is an array of Int, while tablero is the array of buttoms. According to the number of the first I have to put a graph in the second. Thanks again. Best regards.

According to your code I know you would like to move the sword from h to 6.
the small project moves a image from the current position to the position you specified.

Thanks... i'm very busy.
I'll look at it as soon as I can. The game is already published... then I put the link.
All the best.
