Sexy transition between Activities (based on Twitter transition)

Looking at the officiel Twitter Android client I've noticed the slight cool & sexy transition between activities. I was curious to know how that worked so I had fun with android xml animations and ended up with that:

push_left_in.xml

This is how BBC News currently implements it's Image Enhancer for responsive images. Note: this is a completely rebuilt version of the code so the BBC's original source code doesn't actually look anything like the below example.

The BBC has a server-side image service which provides developers with multiple sized versions of any image they request. It works in a similar fashion to http://placehold.it/ but it also handles the image ratios returned (where as placehold.it doesn't).

The original BBC News process (and my re-working of the script) follows roughly these steps...

  • Create new instance of ImageEnhancer
  • Change any divs within the page (which have a class of delayed-image-load) into a transparent GIF using a Base64 encoded string.
    • We set the width & height HTML attributes of the image to the required size
    • We know what size the image needs to be because each div has custom data-attr set server-side to the size of the image
    • We then set a class of image-replace onto each newly created transparent image
  • We use a 250ms setTimeout to unblock the UI thread and which calls a function resizeImages which enhances the image-replace images so their source is now set to a URL whe

Using jQuery noConflict mode

Enabling noConflict mode

Using a default Foundation 5 download you'll see some code like this in your index.html file:
