android animation for buttons to move from right to left

I have totally 7 buttons at bottom of screen as like menus. In that, 4 buttons is visible when i click that 4th button first 3 buttons are move away from right to left and next 3 buttons are come into that place and vice versa. What type of animation should i use for this os is it possible to use TranslateAnimation or how to use ObjectAnimator
Give any suggestions.

Note that a view animation (like translate animation), is not going to move the actual button mechanism, just where it is visually drawn on the screen. Ie. when your buttons move, the area to click them will still be in the original position. If you want your actual object to move then a property animation (value animator, object animator, or view property animator) is the best choice.
You can read more about property animation and how to use them here: http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/graphics/prop-animation.html

Rotation animation to a button and set onclicklistener

I've created a RelativeLayout that contain 4 buttons positioned like a circle. I've given rotate animation to the layout, also OnClickListeners on these buttons. But when i run the code the OnClickListener works only from the button's initial position.
That is, suppose the layout rotate 90 degrees, the button comes to a new position. But clicking on that position doesnt do any thing instead I need to click at the position where it was initially, to activate ONClickListener for that button.
Is there any way to set OnClickListener for the same position as it is displayed?

use property animation instead of view animation according to google doc
view animation system is that it only modified where the View was drawn, and not the actual View itself. For instance, if you animated a button to move across the screen, the button draws correctly, but the actual location where you can click the button does not change, so you have to implement your own logic to handle this.

Android - Animation on widgets

I started with a simple animation on button,
I am successful to an extent,
The problem i am facing is, I am able to animate the button but the position of listener,
Even after button is animated the clickable area is not animated , It is resting at the original postion
Could some one help me with an useful code snippet or suggestion
Regards

Android animations can not change the layout of buttons or view in general. Only their image will appear to move, but they will stay in the same place. After the animation is finished, get the Layout parameters through View.getLayoutParams() and change them.

UI animation in android

I have view with several components on it. I use Linear layout with vertical orientation
When user unchecks some checkbox I need to hide one EditText and other components moves up
edtPhone.setEnabled(false);
works well, but everything happens immediately and i want to do it slowly and animated
How can i do it in android?

Create a TranslateAnimation, assign an AnimationListener to it and in onAnimationEnd() you should set the visibility of your EditText to View.GONE (or View.INVISIBLE, it depends on your needs) and do whatever you want when the animation has stopped.
Remember to assign the TranslateAnimation to the other components that should move up. In order to get your TranslateAnimation to move slowly, use android:duration in XML or Animation.setDuration() in code, with a defined value in milliseconds (maybe 500 milliseconds?).

Struggling with view animations

I've got an absolute layout. In that layout is a custom view that takes up the left 3rd of the screen. I put a button in the layout that I want to cause the custom view to slide on and off of the screen. I've tried using animation resources (translates... "slidein" and "slideout") and the function startAnimation on the custom view, but I can't get the behavior I am looking for.
OK... I start with the custom view visible and in onCreate I find the view and animate it off screen using my slideout animation. That works fine. I figured out that I need to set "fillAfter" in the animation so that the custom view stays off screen.
Now, when I press my button I want to cause the custom view to slide back on the screen, so I trigger my slidein animation using startAnimation again but with slidein. BUT... that causes the view to first jump back to its original position AND THEN slide to the right... causing it to finish in the middle of the screen.
How do I get the animation to use the view's current position as the animation starting position, not its original position?
Thanks

I also experienced the flicker described in this question. My solution was to use the improved Honeycomb animation APIs. There is a convenient library that ports these all the way back to Android 1.0:
http://nineoldandroids.com/
For more on Honeycomb Animation APIs see:
http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2011/02/animation-in-honeycomb.html
In my case I had 2 overlapped LinearLayouts inside a RelativeLayout. I wanted to slide the top LinearLayout off the screen and reveal the bottom LinearLayout below. Then I wanted to slide to top LinearLayout back on screen to its original position so the top layout covered the bottom layout again. Using the old animation APIs I was seeing a flicker before the second animation (offscreen -> onscreen) was starting.
With the new APIs this task turned out to be trivial:
// Slide out (add to button handler)
ObjectAnimator.ofFloat(mTopLayout, "translationY", mTopLayout.getHeight()).start();
// Slide back in (add to button handler)
ObjectAnimator.ofFloat(mTopLayout, "translationY", 0).start();
The Honeycomb Animation APIs actually move objects around on the screen (rather than pretending to move them like the older animation APIs), so there is no need to fool around with filleAfter, fillBefore, etc.

Look into setting the fillAfter property to keep the end animation state
