OK I am close, this is what I got so far. BUT the the content of the first textview and second textview are displayed on top of each other basically making the screen look messy. What I really want is only the first textview is to be visible and the second textview to become visible ONLY as the rotate transition effect occurs. Is there a way I can set up opacity of the first textview so that the second view is not shown through ?

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:id="@+id/listlayout" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:orientation="vertical"> <FrameLayout android:id="@+id/container" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent"> <TextView android:id="@+id/description1" android:text="This is the first page of stuff over here. YO YO YOY OY OYOYOYOYO" android:scaleType="fitCenter" android:textColor="#FFFFFF" android:background="#FF0000" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:visibility="visible" /> <TextView android:id="@+id/description2" android:text="This is the second page with a bunch of widgets and stuff!!!!!" android:scaleType="fitCenter" android:textColor="#FFFFFF" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:visibility="visible" /> </FrameLayout> <TextView android:id="@+id/listmenu" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:gravity="bottom" /> </LinearLayout>

layout.setOnClickListener(new Button.OnClickListener() { public void onClick(View v) {

RotateAnimation b = new RotateAnimation(0f, 45f); b.setDuration(1000);

list.startAnimation(b); } }); } }
