Animate a view from one Layout to other Layout

Question

Check attached image for easy explanation.

Translate animation works but it animates inside the same view. I want view to fly out from one layout to other.

Answer 1

If someone is looking for simpler solution, you can use transitions framework: https://developer.android.com/training/transitions/index.html

To animate translation from one parent view to another, there is special transition ChangeTransform: https://developer.android.com/reference/android/transition/ChangeTransform.html

And a small example:

animatedView = View.inflate(ActivityMain.this, R.layout.item, firstParent);
animatedView.setLayoutParams(new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(LinearLayout.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, LinearLayout.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT));
Transition move = new ChangeTransform()
                        .addTarget(animatedView)
                        .setDuration(2000));
TransitionManager.beginDelayedTransition(rootParent, move);
firstParent.removeView(animatedView);
animatedView.setPadding(2,2,2,2);
animatedView.setElevation(4);
secondParent.addView(animatedView, 0);
