Displaying an image over another image along with transition - lwuit

I have a welcome screen which displays an image using label as background.
Now, I want to and I'm trying to display an icon upon this background image with transition.
So, once the icon transition over the background image is done, I should be able to see the background image and the icon displayed in one screen.
Is it possible? How should I do it?

This is possible in Codename One using layered layout, I don't recall if we added it to LWUIT or later on as we forked to Codename One.
Failing that just set the image as the bgImage and then just place the other image on top.

Change background color of the tile programatically?

I understand the background is actually an image (WideLogo.png/SmallLogo.png) and specified in the app manifest file. But is it possible to swap these with a new set of images programatically? Based on the information displayed on the tile, I want to change the background color of the tile.
You cannot edit the app manifest to change the default color. However, you can render an image with the appropriate background color and content then set it as tile.
For more details on how to achieve that, read: Windows 8 Metro App - Render PNGs
I don't think you can change the background color of the tile programmatically. That's set in the manifest for the default tile, so that you can overlay a transparent background image for a predictable default look for your tile.
But you can send tile notifications from your app while running, and these can include images and text.
Here's a link to the MSDN docs on tiles and notifications:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/hh779724.aspx
and to the catalog of tile templates you can use:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/hh761491.aspx
One way you could implement this is to programmatically create a tile image with the background color and text you want, and then send that as a tile notification.

Stop Repeating Background Image in UITextView

How do you stop an Image from repeating in an UITextView? What I want to achieve is have a UITextView that has text loaded from a .txt file (already works) and loads a preview image (already works) and finally I want the background to display my Logo at the top along with background colors I've made (all in 1 .png file), while when you scroll, the logo will go away and the rest of the background will scroll as well. My problem is that the Image repeats near the end of the text. If I make the image larger, my Logo stretches and looks sloppy, I'd like to keep the image at (0,0,480,However high the text is) and still keep the integrity of the logo in tact. I've tried searching the other similar questions but they all seem to want the repeat and I do not. Suggestions?
What about having a UIImageView that acts as a background image and setting the background for the textView to transparent - will it help?

View Behind View rolldown effect on iOS (Like folders on home screen)

What would be the best way to accomplish the home screen folder roll-open effect with views in Objective C?
I tried something similar to what MaxFish has described. You can check it here iOS Open Folder Animation Sample Code
If you take a look at the images inside the Springboard.app in your iPhone in "/System/Library/CoreServices" you can have an idea of how the animation works.
A simple version of the effect can be done this way:
Take a screenshot of the screen you want to "cut" and save it in an image
Create two imageviews each of which has a part of the screenshot (e.g. the first has the first upper part of the image as background, the second the rest), you could alternative use the same background image for both views, you have only to play with content alignments.
Place the two views on the original screen in the exact position to make them seem like one entire image perfectly aligned with the original screen.
Create a view (folder content) with its own background and whatever you want to put inside, place it at the same Y of the bottom imageview but beneath it.
Make the bottom image view scroll down for the entire size of the content view, you will see the folder content appear.
iOS version put on the sliding images some nice borders and applies fade effect which make the overall animation really cool. You can sure try and make it nice looking.
Hope this helps

image Gallery in iPhone

I need to Create an Image Gallery that may be use concept of scrolling and paging together.
When I click on a button, it will open a new view in landscape mode. This view is for my Image Gallery..
It shows 5 Images:
Centered Large Image With its description on Bottom.
Next Coming image on left side, This image is slightly tilled at some angle, Without any description at bottom.
next to next coming image on left to 2nd image.
previous image on right side, This image is slightly tilled at some angle, Without any description at bottom.
Previous to Previous image on right of 4th image
Moreover, all images should be scrollable, like when I scroll 2nd image, it will move to Center and show its description and image which is already centered move to previous image.
Sorry for my confused English, here's an example of what I am trying to obtain.
I tried for basic code of paging and scrolling but unluckily nothing helpful.
Could you give me some pointers?
Check out flowcover (see this question: Open source CoverFlow library for iPhone), which should get you started.
I think someone reported flowcover doesn't work on iOS 4.0, I haven't tried yet, ofcourse.
But, you can also take a look to this OpenFlow project, It will be help you I guess. Many people has builts their app on this library.
