[android-developers] Spinning Wheel of Fortune Custom View and Animation

Hi All,
We plan to create an application which has a view, where we have a
Spinning Wheel of Fortune. Now there are many ways to do so

1. Use Android Animation
2. Use Canvas
3. User SurfaceView

My requirements are as follows
1. The wheel starts spinning slowly
2. Spins for say 10-20 times
3. Slows down spinning at the end

How do I accomplish this, especially with the slow start, becomes
faster , 10-20 number of rotates and then slows down and stops?

Android Animation is no use here, since the acceleration interpolator
can not start slow, speed up and then slow down when we use
repeatCount.

Now that more or less leaves us with Updating the canvas by calling
view.invalidate() or use SurfaceView. I am more interested in how do
we control the animation timing (even if we do it by hand) in code.
Most examples on the net are about fixed FPS, how do we do things when
spinning varies.

Cheers
Rohit
