Answer 1

Just to provide another possible answer to the question. The below animation file need to be put under res/anim folder :

shake.xml

And to use it in code (Here in Kotlin) :

val animShake = AnimationUtils.loadAnimation(requireContext(), R.anim.shake)
mView.startAnimation(animShake)

Animation explanation:

• If you want 1000ms of duration, you need to divide this by the number of step in your anim. Ex. with 5 steps: 1000/5 = 200 So if you put 200 of duration for each step, all will take same time to end

• The "startOffset" parameter need to specify after what time the animation need to start (Here we wanted to sum all of before operations)

• The "fromXDelta" parameter is your started point at each step, based on the previous step.
