When the user holds down on the screen, it should become transparent by their finger so that they can see the other layout beneath. When they continue holding down their finger and swipe, I'd like to create a transition where the transparency spreads outward from their initial holding location until the upper layout is gone and only the layout underneath is left.
Here are examples of the effect I'm looking to create:
I'm not concerned about the fancy movement of the purple / red squares; I'm just looking to find out how to create the swipe transition between the two layouts.
It seems like using android.R.anim.fade_in and android.R.anim.fade_out would get close to the desired effect but it would be missing the expanding circle centered on the user's finger and the transition would happen all at once instead of the intended effect of giving a peak when just held down and performing the transition only after a swipe.
