Answer 1

I believe you can't do this with the AnimatedVectorDrawable/AnimatedVectorDrawableCompat programmatically.

A workaround is to use a Level List drawable and animate its levels: but you'll need lots of images for the levels to simulate the smooth transition, I'm using just three levels here for demonstration.

First you'll define the drawable level list like this:res/drawable/my_level_list.xml

Then in the layout file:

Then in your activity:

int MIN_LEVEL=0;
int MAX_LEVEL=2;

ImageView img=(ImageView)findViewById(R.id.img);

Drawable myLevelSetDrawable= img.getDrawable();
ObjectAnimator anim=ObjectAnimator.ofInt(myLevelSetDrawable,"level",MIN_LEVEL,MAX_LEVEL);
anim.setInterpolator(new BounceInterpolator());
AnimatorSet set=new AnimatorSet();
set.play(anim);
set.setDuration(1000);
set.start();

Hope that helps.
