Question

Can someone tell me how do I create a animation effect in android. I want a TextView say Name , Age, Sex move from left to a particular position on screen. For eg: like if the TextView comes moving from left end of the screen.These fields are vertically arranged on a linear layout.

Answer 1

make a new xml in res/anim/ named as ltor.xml with the contents

<set xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
         android:shareInterpolator="false">
        <translate android:fromXDelta="-100%" android:toXDelta="0%"
          android:fromYDelta="0%" android:toYDelta="0%"
         android:duration="700"/>
       </set>

give the following attribute in the view you want to animate.

android:animation="@anim/ltor"
