Question

I have a view that has a MapFragment in it

My mainViewPanel looks something like this

<LinearLayout
android:id="@+id/main_view_panel"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_weight="0.5"
android:orientation="horizontal">

<fragment
android:id="@+id/map"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_weight="0.5"
class="com.google.android.gms.maps.SupportMapFragment"
map:cameraTargetLat="40.72"
map:cameraTargetLng="-74.00"
map:cameraZoom="8"/>

</LinearLayout>

My translate code looks like this

TranslateAnimation anim = new TranslateAnimation(0, 500, 0, 0);
anim.setFillAfter(true);
anim.setDuration(250);
mainViewPanel.startAnimation(anim);

The rest of the view animates, but the map stays put. It’s like the main view window is moving over and I can see more to the right of the map, but the map itself is not visually moving. The animation works just fine for other views like a TextView

Answer 1

This works on newer versions of android

mainViewPanel.animate().translationX(500);
