Answer 1

Here are the animators I use:

Purpose: Move View "view" along Path "path"

v21+:

ValueAnimator pathAnimator = ObjectAnimator.ofFloat(view, "x", "y", path)

v11+:

ValueAnimator pathAnimator = ValueAnimator.ofFloat(0.0f, 1.0f);

pathAnimator.addUpdateListener(new ValueAnimator.AnimatorUpdateListener() {
float[] point = new float[2];

@Override
    public void onAnimationUpdate(ValueAnimator animation) {
        float val = animation.getAnimatedFraction();
        PathMeasure pathMeasure = new PathMeasure(path, true);
        pathMeasure.getPosTan(pathMeasure.getLength() * val, point, null);
        view.setX(point[0]);
        view.setY(point[1]);
    }
});
