Android setting pivot point for scale animation

Question

I am trying to scale views to a certain size but can\'t quite understand how pivoting works.

Say I want to scale the view upwards only. What value should the \"pivotY\"

Answer 1

Use:

view.setPivotY(view.getMeasuredHeight());

If you need to animate your object from the bottom.

Answer 2

Quite simple actually.

If you want to scale upwards one clear option is:

 view.setPivotY(100);

and downwards:

 view.setPivotY(0);

then animate.
