How to increase the view height using Property Animations in Android?
ObjectAnimator a = ObjectAnimator.ofFloat(viewToIncreaseHeight, \"translationY\", -100)
You can use ViewPropertyAnimator, which can save you some lines of code :
yourView.animate()
.scaleY(-100f)
.setInterpolator(new AccelerateDecelerateInterpolator())
.setDuration(1000);
that should be all you need, be sure to check the documentation and all available methods for ViewPropertyAnimator.
