So basically I have defined a fragment for a card game I am creating, I wish to reuse this fragment for both player 1 and player 2 (since they both have the same layout) however I want them to be a mirror of each other. How can this be achieved, I have research rotating a fragment but no answers so far have described how to do so in code, they only describe handling when the screen rotates.
The activity for a 1v1 game
package com.PigRam.magichelper;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v4.app.FragmentActivity;
public class OneVsOneDuelActivity extends FragmentActivity {
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.one_vs_one_view);
}
}
The layout for the fragments
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:baselineAligned="true">
<fragment android:name="com.PigRam.magichelper.PlayerOneDuelFragment"
android:id="@+id/player_one_fragment"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"/>
<fragment android:name="com.PigRam.magichelper.PlayerTwoDuelFragment"
android:id="@+id/player_two_fragment"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp" />
</LinearLayout>
Currently the fragments layout just have a single button in their layout that I want to appear to indicate a players turn is over.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:orientation="vertical">
<Button android:text="@string/end_turn"
android:id="@+id/end_turn_botton"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"/>
</LinearLayout>
Player 1's code (Player 2 is exactly the same)
package com.PigRam.magichelper;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v4.app.FragmentActivity;
public class OneVsOneDuelActivity extends FragmentActivity {
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.one_vs_one_view);
}
}
I'm guessing that if you're using Android v3.0+ you could reuse the same fragment and have the 2nd instance rotate it's view by 180 degrees using http://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View.html#setRotation(float) (after setting the pivot point to be 0.5, 0.5)
