how to move sprite object using AndEngine (Android)

Question

I am using andengine to develop a game in android. I placed an object in sprite like

 this.mTexture = new Texture(32, 32, TextureOptions.BILINEAR_PREMULTIPLYALPHA);
            this.mFaceTextureRegion = TextureRegionFactory.createFromAsset(this.mTexture, this, "gfx/bike.png", 0, 0);
---- and i place like 
Sprite bikeSprite= new Sprite(20, 50, this.mFaceTextureRegion);

I want to use this sprite in j2me sprite

bikeSprite.move(--); How do I do it in android. I dont want to use setPosition .

I would try using a PathModifier. I have this same problem for my game, and a PathModifier example can be found in the AndEngine examples:
