Android animation, moving and rotating at same time

Question

I am working on animating an image view and that moves to the right and rotates at the same time. I can get the item to move using

    animation = new Transl

You need to use an AnimationSet.

An example in XML I made which moves an image from left to right, up and down and rotates, all at the same time.

<set xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <!-- Rotate -->
    <rotate android:fromDegrees="30" android:toDegrees="0"
        android:pivotX="50%" android:pivotY="50%" android:repeatCount="4"
        android:repeatMode="reverse" android:duration="2000"
        android:interpolator="@android:anim/linear_interpolator" />
    <!--  Left to right -->
    <translate android:fromXDelta="-50%p" android:toXDelta="150%p"
        android:fromYDelta="100%p" android:toYDelta="0" android:duration="10000"
        android:interpolator="@android:anim/linear_interpolator" />
    <!--  Up and down bob -->
    <translate android:fromXDelta="0" android:toXDelta="0"
        android:fromYDelta="30" android:toYDelta="-30" android:repeatMode="reverse"
        android:repeatCount="4" android:interpolator="@android:anim/linear_interpolator"
        android:duration="2000" />
</set>

Code example (not to replicate above):

AnimationSet animationSet = new AnimationSet(true);

TranslateAnimation a = new TranslateAnimation(
        Animation.ABSOLUTE,200, Animation.ABSOLUTE,200,
        Animation.ABSOLUTE,200, Animation.ABSOLUTE,200);
a.setDuration(1000);    

RotateAnimation r = new RotateAnimation(0f, -90f,200,200);
r.setStartOffset(1000);
r.setDuration(1000);

animationSet.addAnimation(a);
animationSet.addAnimation(r);
