Android: tween animation of a bitmap

Question

My app implements its own sprites by calling the following in my view\'s onDraw() method:

  canvas.drawBitmap(sprite.getBitmap(), sprite.getX(),         


        

Answer 1

If you are creating a game, you can use Vectors(Mathematical) to update the position of your images and then draw then with getX and getY. You should iterate and update this vector in some direction through some speed.

Those Vectors are not native (Game APIs has).

You need have a loop to iterate and update the position, then redraw.

For games, it's not a good idea to have components such ImageViews to make animations. They need the system to calc all the layout again and again over time.
