Programmatically Translate View Pre-Honeycomb

Question

How can I programmatically translate an arbitrary view without using an animation (android.view.animation.*)?

API 11 introduced setTranslationX

Answer 1

I was having the same problem. I was able to achieve the translation by manipulating the layoutparams, specifically the margins, of the views I wanted to translate. You can use negative values for the margins btw.
