I am a noob coming from a PHP background so kindly excuse me if this is too basic a question.
Basically, this is what I want to do:
make an image animate/drop from the top of the screen to 25% down in 5 seconds
so I googled and ended up on:
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/animation/TranslateAnimation.html
the problem is I cannot find any sample code there (like in php you can type a function, eg: php.net/explode and it shows you an example with explode(), but here for a noob like me it’s extremely difficult.) is there anywhere to get the code to do the above (or a starting point to which i can modify to achieve the above)?
Sample code is available via the SDK and AVD manager. You should download API Demos. It shows you how to do this two ways. Number 1 via XML and 2 via code. The class is called LayoutAnimation2.java. You can also view it right online via the Android Developer Website, look here.
