Hi simon_hain,

Thanks for your response, Using TransitionContext i can do only for different screens?  But i need same effect for same screen? you can see in these effect in device(Bold 9700) while click 'All' some field manager going up and showing different menus in that field manager. if i click 'All' again it going down.

the API is only for screens afaik.
RIM can use other stuff that is not exposed...
Maybe you can animate it yourself, no experience in this area.

Hi @user17

The transitionContext works only for screens but you can create a screen which will contain several partially transparent screens.

For example:

1. First screen will be the background.

2. Second screen will contain only a title.

3. Third screen will contain only an image.

Both second & third screen will have transparent background so it will appear as one screen to the user.

Pros:

1. You can use the transitionContext which is easy to use.

2. You can create different transition for each screen. 

Cons:

1. You will have more screens in the stack which means more overhead.

2. Moving Focus between UI elements would be a lot more difficult to handle, Only elements in the top screen are focusable.

3. Handling layout is also a bit more difficult since you will have to consider the screen below.

Again, as @simon_hain mentioned, you can animate the elements on your own.

Hope that helps,

E.
