Android: show/hide a view using an animation

Question

I\'ve been looking through many google results / questions on here to determine how to show/hide a view via a vertical animation, but I can\'t seem to find one that\'s exactly r

Answer 1

This can reasonably be achieved in a single line statement in API 12 and above. Below is an example where v is the view you wish to animate;

v.animate().translationXBy(-1000).start();

This will slide the View in question off to the left by 1000px. To slide the view back onto the UI we can simply do the following.

v.animate().translationXBy(1000).start();

I hope someone finds this useful.
