Android setting pivot point for scale animation

Question

I am trying to scale views to a certain size but can't quite understand how pivoting works.

Say I want to scale the view upwards only. What value should the "pivotY" hold? In XML, it is a percentage. How is it when applying pivot point programmatically?

Example:

ObjectAnimator scaleY = ObjectAnimator.ofFloat(view, "scaleY", scaleSize); ObjectAnimator pivotY = ObjectAnimator.ofFloat(view, "pivotY", pivotPoint);  AnimatorSet set = new AnimatorSet(); set.PlayTogether(scaleY, pivotY); 

Answer 1

Quite simple actually.

If you want to scale upwards one clear option is:

 view.setPivotY(100); 

and downwards:

 view.setPivotY(0); 

then animate.

Answer 2

Use:

view.setPivotY(view.getMeasuredHeight()); 

If you need to animate your object from the bottom.
