Animate button move and set new position in Android

Question

I've an ImageButton that I want to move when pressed and when animation finish I want that this button stops in the new position.

This is button code:

<ImageButton
    android:id="@+id/move_button"
    android:layout_width="120dp"
    android:layout_height="35dp"
    android:layout_centerInParent="true"
    android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
    android:layout_marginTop="0dp"
    android:scaleType="fitCenter"
    android:background="@drawable/background_button"
    android:src="@drawable/move_button"
    android:onClick="MoveButton" />

I've found a code to do that in this site:

public void MoveButton(final View view) {    
        TranslateAnimation anim = new TranslateAnimation(0, 0, 100, 0);
        anim.setDuration(300);

        anim.setAnimationListener(new TranslateAnimation.AnimationListener() {

            @Override
            public void onAnimationStart(Animation animation) { }

            @Override
            public void onAnimationRepeat(Animation animation) { }

            @Override
            public void onAnimationEnd(Animation animation)
            {
                FrameLayout.LayoutParams params = (FrameLayout.LayoutParams)view.getLayoutParams();
                params.topMargin += -100;
                view.setLayoutParams(params);
            }
        });

        view.startAnimation(anim);

    }

When button it's pressed it start the animation, but when animation is complete button return to initial position and application crashes.

What can be the problem?

Answer 1

This is work Definitely.

Button im= (Button) findViewById(R.id.button);
//set position TranslateAnimation(float fromXDelta, float toXDelta, float fromYDelta, float toYDelta
final Animation animation = new TranslateAnimation(0,100,0,0);
// set Animation for 5 sec
animation.setDuration(5000);
//for button stops in the new position.
animation.setFillAfter(true);
im.startAnimation(animation);

Use anim.setFillAfter(true) to situated the View at the position where Animation ends.

One thing more you are animating your ImageButton from 100 to 0 in Y coordinates, thats why your ImageButton comes to intial position because 0 is its intial position.

Try below code in this code I used anim.setFillAfter(true) and animate the ImageButton from 0 to 100 in Y coordinates.

public void MoveButton(final View view) {
        TranslateAnimation anim = new TranslateAnimation(0,0,0,100);
        anim.setDuration(300);
        anim.setFillAfter(true);

        anim.setAnimationListener(new TranslateAnimation.AnimationListener() {

            @Override
            public void onAnimationStart(Animation animation) {
            }

            @Override
            public void onAnimationRepeat(Animation animation) {
            }

            @Override
            public void onAnimationEnd(Animation animation) {
            }
        });

     view.startAnimation(anim);

 }
