Slide animation in Xamarin forms - animation

I am trying to animate a StackLayout. Two requirements:
The stack layout moves horizontally and comes back to its original position. It should animate in such a manner that it feels like it disappears from the right side of the screen and appears from the left.
When half of the stack layout goes out of the right side, the other half should be visible on the left side of the screen i.e. Translate around the screen
I wrote this:
await sl.TranslateTo(800, 0, 0);
await sl.TranslateTo(0,0,1000);
It satisfies the requirement 1 but I am not able to figure out a solution to #2.

Check out the Flexlayout
FlexLayout Demos
Almost Exactly what you requested except that it doesn't go back to the first part when you reach the end.
You might need to create a condition and play with some events.
good luck

React Three Fiber ScrollControlls Infinite

I've been trying to replicate this scene from Wonderland.studio.
I used a combination of image gallery and inifinite scroll but I'm still missing a few things.
Whenever the scroll length ends camera restarts back to its starting position. Instead, I would like to have the effect of continuing moving.
I have 5 panels/screens and I want to repeatedly display them as the user scrolls further,

Flutter: How to reproduce this bottom container who reacts to finger movement

I would like to reproduce what you see on the bottom. I don't know if it's a kind of popup, but it's react like a GestureDetector: movement to the top enlarge the element and a movement down brings it back. And if it's only a Widget IOS, is there an equivalent for Android ?
If i understand your question correctly you need bottom sheet that present in dart.
You can find document in here.

Unity 4.6 - How to scale GUI elements to the right size for every resolution

The new Unity 4.6 comes with a new GUI, when I change de resolution on Unity the UI Button scales perfectly but when I test on the Nexus 7 device the Button looks too small. Any idea how to solve this?
Unity's new GUI system uses "anchors" to control how gui elements (like buttons) scale in relation to their parent container.
Unity has a tutorial video on how to use the new "Rect Transform" component (where the anchors are configured) here: http://unity3d.com/learn/tutorials/modules/beginner/ui/rect-transform.
The last half of the tutorial is all about anchors. That page has links to the entire tutorial series. It's not too long. You should watch the whole thing.
Specific to your question:
The anchors are visible in your first screen shot. They are those 4 little arrows at the top left of your button.
Right now, your button is only anchored by it's top left corner.
The two right anchors need to be dragged to the right so that the right edge of your button is anchored to a space inside its parent container.
Depending on your situation, the two bottom arrows may need to be dragged down so that the bottom edge of your button is anchored as well.
The video I linked above covers all this in detail.
Lastly, for the font size to scale nicely on different resolutions, you will need to add and configure a reference resolution component to the base canvas of your UI, as Ash-Bash32 wrote earlier.
Update: The best way to add a Reference Resolution component is through the inspector window for the base canvas in your UI.
1) click the "Add Component Button" at the bottom of the inspector.
2) type the word "Reference" in the search filter field.
3) select the "Reference Resolution" component in the search results.
The Reference Resolution is now renamed as Canvas Scaler.. Along with the renaming they have added many more features for the dynamicity of the Canvas. You can go through the Unity Doc of Canvas Scaler and also take a look at this article for a practical example of how and why to use Canvas Scaler. Also make sure you use the Anchor Points to good effect to make this more robust...
To Scale UI added the ReferenceResolution Component to the Canvas you want to scale.
P.S. Theres no Documention for ReferenceResolution
If you want the button to be the same size for all screens and resolutions, you have to add the canvas scaler component to the canvas and the set the screen match mode to: match width or height, here is the link to the docs, this helps a lot if you want to aim to different sizes or resolutions:
http://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/HOWTO-UIMultiResolution.html
This becomes giant and convoluted once you start laying things out in code AND using a canvas scaler, so I wish to provide a thorough answer to save someone the hours I went through.
First, don't use anchoredPosition to position anything, unless you fully realize it is a 0.0 to 1.0 number. Use the RectTransform localPosition to do the actual laying out, and remember it's in relation to the parent anchor. (I had to lay out a grid from the center)
Second, put a canvas scaler on the parent layout object AND the inner ui pieces. One makes the layout in the right position, the other will resize your elements so they actually show up right. You can't rely on the the parent unless the children also have scalers (and Graphic Raycasters to touch them).
Third, if you have a scaler, DON'T use Screen.width and height, instead assume the screen is the same value you put for the scalers (hopefully you used the same, or know what you're doing). The screen width always returns the actual device pixels, retina devices too, but the canvas scalers DO NOT account for this. This probably gives unity the one remaining way to find actual screen dpi if your game wants it. Edit: This paragraph applies to any parent canvas connected to the code doing your laying out. Not stray canvases, you can probably mix it up. Just remember unity's guidelines on performance with canvases.
Fourth, the canvas is still a bit buggy. Even with the above working, some things don't render until you delete and recreate a canvas, if you re-open the scene or it crashes. Otherwise, the above is the general "rules" I've found.
To center a "grid of things" you can't just use half of the canvas scaler's width or height, you have to calculate the height of your grid and set the offset by half of it, otherwise it will always be slightly off. I just added this as an extra tip. This calculation works for all orientations.

How to properly use setPatternOffset to fix NSColor colorWithPatternImage insanity

I'm trying to draw a tiled pattern inside a NSScrollView which is itself inside a resizable window (on Mac OS X). The code simply calls [NSColor colorWithPatternImage], CGContextSetFillColorWithColor, and CGContextFillRect.
The problem is that the pattern is drawn relative to the bottom-left corner of the window. This is documented behavior, but causes two unpleasant effects:
When the window is resized, the pattern scrolls up or down in a very surprising manner.
When the scroll view is scrolled, and then scrolled back, the newly drawn pattern doesn't line up with the scrolled (buffered) part of the pattern.
I'm able to mostly fix problem 2 by calling CGContextConvertPointToDeviceSpace, passing in 0,0, and seeing what I get back -- this tells me my scroll offset, which I can then use with CGContextSetPatternPhase to fix the problem. (Though it doesn't completely fix it -- when I scroll quickly, I still see mismatched patterns, for reasons I haven't sorted out yet.)
But addressing problem 1 is proving really thorny. From my drawing code, which only knows the CGContext, I can't find any way to get the window height. (The Device/User space conversion routines seem completely unaffected by window height.)
Short of adding a bunch of plumbing to all the drawing code to pass around a window reference, is there any way to figure out the correct offset so that my pattern will stay put when the window is resized, and scroll properly when the scrollview is scrolled?
Oops -- shortly after posting this, I found at least a partial answer: the current transformation matrix (from CGContextGetCTM) reflects both the window height, and the scroll offset.
(Or at least, it does in my app; I set the CTM very early in the pipeline to give me a top-down coordinate system so I can use much the same code on iOS.)
So, if I just call CGContextGetCTM, and then pass the .x0 and .y0 values of the result to CGContextSetPatternPhase, it mostly works.
I'm still running into some visual glitches when I scroll quickly horizontally, though not vertically -- a very odd effect, which suggests to me that it might be something in my code, or perhaps related to how wide the content area is. I'll dig further.

Famo.us images carousel

How can I create simple image carousel. Let's say I have GridView with two rows and one column. I want to create image carousel in upper row. Can I do that with ScrollView. Any sugestions?
You have the right idea. You can use gridLayout just to keep your sizing in line, and using scrollView is perfectly fine.
I do not know exactly how you imagine such a carousel working, but one option to be aware of in scrollview is the 'paginated' option. This allows you to easily define target positions for scrollview to stop and snap to, similar to a scroll picker on native. Or if you want the sources definition..
* #param {Boolean} [paginated=false] A paginated scrollview will scroll through items discretely
* rather than continously.
The next thing you may want to think about is how a carousel goes round and round and never reaches an end like scrollview would. There is no option for this by default, but I found a way it can easily be done. It may be a bit trickier with smaller images, but here is an example I did for a infinite panorama.
Transforming Panoramas for Virtual Tours with famo.us, has it been done?
The trick was to use a second duplicate image trailing the scrollview and when scrollview was in the right position, we could jump it back to the beginning, with no visual evidence to the user.
Here is the live example..

Hope this helps you get started!
