Where should i store animation values?

Question

I have some animation in my app, and they work fine. But I'd like to modify the behaviour (for example) between phone ui and tablet ui. So where should I set the row values (such as android:duration="xxx")?

[...]
<translate 
     android:duration="700"
     android:fromYDelta="90%p"
     android:toYDelta="0"/>
[...]

According to official documentation , there's no preferred place.

You should store a value you wish to be different across screen sizes in the values folder. So for example you could have a folder called values for default and one say called values-sw600dp and in there specify a value for your duration which is only for a screen with a smallest width of 600dp.

Then in the values and values-sw600dp you can have a file called translation.xml or whatever describes the animation:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
    <integer name="duration">700</integer>
</resources>

And then where you do your animation xml:

<translate 
     android:duration="@integer/duration"
     android:fromYDelta="90%p"
     android:toYDelta="0"/>

This way you can specify different settings for different device sizes based on your folder names, just like you do with drawables.
