Transition (Codename One API)

java.lang.Object
- com.codename1.ui.animations.Transition

All Implemented Interfaces:

Animation

Direct Known Subclasses:

BubbleTransition, CommonTransitions, FlipTransition, MorphTransition
```
public abstract class Transition
extends Object
implements Animation
```
Represents a transition animation between two forms this class is used internally by Display to play an animation when moving from one form to the next. A transition can be installed on a Form object using the in/out transitions, for ease of use LookAndFeel has support for default transitions.

Method Summary

All Methods Instance Methods Abstract Methods Concrete Methods
Modifier and Type	Method and Description
`abstract boolean`	`animate()` Allows the animation to reduce "repaint" calls when it returns false.
`protected void`	`cleanSource()` Allows setting the source form to null to save memory if the transition doesn't need it in memory.
`void`	`cleanup()` Optional operation to cleanup the garbage left over by a running transition
`Transition`	`copy(boolean reverse)` Create a copy of the transition, usually the transition used is a copy.
`Component`	`getDestination()` Returns the destination form that should be set once animation is completed
`Component`	`getSource()` Returns the source form which is the form from which the animation is starting.
`protected void`	`hideInterformContainers()` Sets visibility on all shared InterFormContainers between the source and destination to be hidden.
`void`	`init(Component source, Component destination)` Invoked by `Display` to set the source and destination forms.
`void`	`initTransition()` Callback thats invoked before a transition begins, the source form may be null for the first form in the application.
`abstract void`	`paint(Graphics g)` Draws the animation, within a component the standard paint method would be invoked since it bares the exact same signature.
`protected void`	`paintInterformContainers(Graphics g)` Paints all shared InterFormContainers between the source and destination.
`protected void`	`showInterformContainers()` Sets visibility on all shared InterFormContainers between the source and destination to be visible.

public Transition()
```
- Method Detail
  - init
```
public final void init(Component source,
                       Component destination)
```
    Invoked by Display to set the source and destination forms. This method should not be invoked by developers.
    
    Parameters:
    
    source - the source form from which the transition originates
    
    destination - the destination form to which the transition will lead
  - hideInterformContainers
```
protected void hideInterformContainers()
```
    Sets visibility on all shared InterFormContainers between the source and destination to be hidden. This is useful since these containers are not transitioned like the rest of components, so the transition may need to be able to paint the source or destination without these containers, and paint them separately.
    
    Since:
    
    7.0
  - showInterformContainers
```
protected void showInterformContainers()
```
    Sets visibility on all shared InterFormContainers between the source and destination to be visible. This is useful since these containers are not transitioned like the rest of components, so the transition may need to be able to paint the source or destination without these containers, and paint them separately.
    
    Since:
    
    7.0
  - paintInterformContainers
```
protected void paintInterformContainers(Graphics g)
```
    Paints all shared InterFormContainers between the source and destination.
    
    Parameters:
    
    g - Graphics context to paint to.
    
    Since:
    
    7.0
  - initTransition
```
public void initTransition()
```
    Callback thats invoked before a transition begins, the source form may be null for the first form in the application.
  - getDestination
```
public final Component getDestination()
```
    Returns the destination form that should be set once animation is completed
    
    Returns:
    
    the destination component
  - getSource
```
public final Component getSource()
```
    Returns the source form which is the form from which the animation is starting. This may be null for the first form in the application
    
    Returns:
    
    the source component
  - cleanup
```
public void cleanup()
```
    Optional operation to cleanup the garbage left over by a running transition
  - copy
```
public Transition copy(boolean reverse)
```
    Create a copy of the transition, usually the transition used is a copy.
    
    Parameters:
    
    reverse - creates a new transition instance with "reverse" behavior useful for signifying "back" operations
    
    Returns:
    
    new transition instance
  - cleanSource
```
protected final void cleanSource()
```
    Allows setting the source form to null to save memory if the transition doesn't need it in memory.
  - animate
```
public abstract boolean animate()
```
    Allows the animation to reduce "repaint" calls when it returns false. It is called once for every frame. Frames are defined by the Display class.
    
    Specified by:
    
    animate in interface Animation
    
    Returns:
    
    true if a repaint is desired or false if no repaint is necessary
  - paint
```
public abstract void paint(Graphics g)
```
    Draws the animation, within a component the standard paint method would be invoked since it bares the exact same signature.
    
    Specified by:
    
    paint in interface Animation
    
    Parameters:
    
    g - graphics context
