Programmatically Translate View Pre-Honeycomb

Question

How can I programmatically translate an arbitrary view without using an animation (android.view.animation.*)?

API 11 introduced setTranslationX

Answer 1

Yes, you can use TranslateAnimation. With fillAfter set to true your view will stay translated even after the animation ends. Here is an example:

TranslateAnimation anim=new TranslateAnimation(0, 0, 20, 20);
anim.setFillAfter(true);
anim.setDuration(0);
yourView.startAnimation(anim);
