   You are talking about view.setLayoutParams(...); // set to (x, y) But why are you talking about X and y. When i call .setLayoutParams it asks for Width and Height. So if i am not mistaking this is really different from your IDE? I have to do: mViewPager.setLayoutParams(new LayoutParams(width, height)); And i just want to move a view 150 downwards and set the new location 150 downwards. Why is this so hard in Android. Reply

   I found a simplier solution: add this to TranslationAnimation ta.setFillAfter(true); and it's done! cheers ;) Reply

     This won't change the actual position, just how its drawn Reply

   So are you x and y vars integers? When I try to move an ImageView like this, it says setLayoutParams doesn't support int int Reply

   I had to do things slightly different. X,Y positions are not always an option - especially when working with relative layouts! To move my button and the view I had to do the following: final TranslateAnimation resultSlideUp = new TranslateAnimation(0, 0, 0, distX); resultSlideUp.setDuration(500); resultSlideUp.setFillEnabled(true); resultSlideUp.setAnimationListener(new AnimationListener() { @Override public void onAnimationStart(Animation animation) {} @Override public void onAnimationRepeat(Animation animation) {} @Override public void onAnimationEnd(Animation animation) { RelativeLayout.LayoutParams layoutParams = new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(result.getWidth(), result.getHeight()); layoutParams.addRule(RelativeLayout.CENTER_HORIZONTAL, -1); layoutParams.setMargins(0, result.getTop()+distX, 0, 0); result.setLayoutParams(layoutParams); } }); result.startAnimation(resultSlideUp); Reply

   Do you have the exact syntax of this line: view.setLayoutParams(...); // set to (x, y) Tried using LinearLayout but don't see how to set the x/y, only with AbsoluteLayout Reply

   To Marcos: any kind of view container will work (linearlayout, relativelayout, gridlayout...), though some layout (such as grid) will set z-order of its child views so that the animation might be blocked by the upper views. To Nik, no I didn't see the trail. Could be that your testing device is too slow (I'm using Droid). Reply

   Do you need to use a particular kind of Layout to contain that view in order to respond to x and y modifications? thanks Reply

     I have to express some thknas to the writer just for bailing me out of such a challenge. Just after searching throughout the the web and seeing suggestions which are not helpful, I thought my entire life was over. Living devoid of the approaches to the problems you've solved all through this post is a crucial case, as well as those that could have adversely damaged my entire career if I hadn't discovered your blog. The training and kindness in maneuvering every part was precious. I'm not sure what I would've done if I hadn't come across such a subject like this. I can also at this point look ahead to my future. Thanks so much for your high quality and effective help. I will not think twice to suggest your web sites to anyone who would need support on this area. Reply
