TranslateAnimation

     Translate Animation is used to move one object from one position to another position.

Signature is

      public TranslateAnimation (float fromXDelta, float toXDelta, float fromYDelta, float toYDelta)

The coding for set animation for particular object is including 4 steps.

  1. Have to configure our object. If it is imageview means

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

  2. Create animation.

           TranslateAnimation moveLefttoRight = new TranslateAnimation(-1000, 0, 0, 0); 

  3. Then most important we should set time delay for that animation. Otherwise we cant get animation feel.

           moveLefttoRight.setDuration(2000);

  4. Set this animation to our object

           img.startAnimation(moveLefttoRight);

  Full coding for set animation for a object is

         ImageView img = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.player1image);

         TranslateAnimation moveLefttoRight = new TranslateAnimation(-1000, 0, 0, 0);
 moveLefttoRight.setDuration(2000);
 moveLefttoRight.setFillAfter(true);
         
         img.startAnimation(moveLefttoRight);
