Question

A quick question, is it possible for a custom ViewGroup to override

protected boolean getChildStaticTransformation(View child, Transformation t)

and have transformation place the view drawing outside of the viewGroups bounds?

I thought i saw a method relating to toggling clipping in this way but not sure if i have made it up!

At the moment I am increading the padding of the viewGroup as needed and calling setClipToPadding(false) so i can draw in the padding region.

Thanks

Aha, found it!

Just in case anyone else wantes to know, the android:clipChildren attribute of ViewGroup is what i want.

I imagine if you go the route of using a custom Animation then you should override the Animation.willChangeBounds also.

EDIT: I found that when clipChildren does not seem to work then just invalidating the parent can do the trick (say inside a Runnable driving a frame animation)
