    As i see here: http://nineoldandroids.com/

    There is only animation package and to animate for example a view you have to import and use ObjectAnimator instead of Animation

    You can download sources of nineoldandroid and found that there is no Animation class at all.

    enter image description here

    UPDATED

    Nineoldandroid library is used to support old devices with new (comes with honeycomb (api11+)) animation apis (Animators). So to use Animation classes which comes with api lvl 1 you don’t need to use oldnineandroid, because this classes are already in all of the android phones.

    You only have to use nineoldandroid if you want to use new APIs.
