[android-developers] animation is starting with a large black screen....

i am trying to get a slide down animation to work, and it seems to
work except that it starts with a big black screen instead of the
screen that was there.

so I have layout1 and layout2.

when I start the animation using ViewFlipper.showNext it puts a big
black background over layout1, and then slides in layout2. if I use
ViewFlipper.startFlipping() it slides in layout2 out as it is sliding
in layout1 -- which is what I would expect.

My slide_down.xml looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<set xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<translate android:fromYDelta="0"
android:toYDelta="100%"
android:duration="4000"
android:detachWallpaper="true"/>
</set>

My java code looks like this:
ViewFlipper vf = (ViewFlipper) findViewById(R.id.DropDownList);
vf.setAnimation(AnimationUtils.loadAnimation(this,
R.anim.slide_down));
vf.showNext(); or
vf.startFlipping();

tia.
