I'm trying to use Faria's KenBurnsView library in my application.
KenBurnsView is some extension of ImageView, with a nice animating effect. You may have seen the effect in Foursquare app's images.
For the actual picture, the view uses the XML defined "android:src" property. But I want to set the image resource during run-time through Java code. I have tried setImageResource, setBackgroundResource, set".."drawabale and many other methods. But no matter what, my image setting command always makes my app crash at run-time.
I've been searching the web for a couple of hours for any trace of discussion on KenBurnsView but have had no luck whatsoever.
How is it possible to set the image property of KenBurnsView on run-time?
Here's the stack trace:

From the call stack, I'd say this is a bug in the library. It's not updating the mDrawableRect immediately after a new drawable is set.
Try changing the implementation of setImageResource() to add call updateDrawableBounds(), i.e.
@Override
public void setImageResource(int resId) {
super.setImageResource(resId);
updateDrawableBounds(); // <- added line
handleImageChange();
}
Looks like this should fix the problem (but I haven't tested it).
EDIT Actually, all the setImage<X>() methods seem to have this issue. So the same fix should be used for setImageDrawable(), setImageBitmap(), and setImageURI().
NEWEST EDIT This is now fixed, according to @FlávioFaria himself. Just update to version 1.0.3.
