How does TranslateAnimation work on Android?

Question

I went through

TranslateAnimation (float fromXDelta, float toXDelta, float fromYDelta, float toYDelta)

but am still confused about how T

Answer 1

With TranslateAnimation you can create an animation to control an object.

With TranslateAnimation you're able to control the position of an object. You pass this 4 parameters, which stand for the X and Y coordinates.

By Example you want to move an object to the right, you would do something like: TranslateAnimation(0.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f)

(or use Animation.ABSOLUTE, Animation.RELATIVE_TO_SELF)

We only use the X coordinate now, because we are doing now an easy "LeftToRight" animation-move.

Change in X coordinate to apply at the start of the animation
toXDelta (0.0f)    

Change in X coordinate to apply at the end of the animation (1.0f)

= 1 to right

Maybe take a look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coordinate_system
