How to move a view to another view using animation in Android?

Question

I have a circle at the center of the screen inside which there\'s an ImageView + TextView. I have another two ImageView+TextView

Answer 1

I had the same issue and I fixed by using the next code (sorry is in Kotlin, but works the same in Java).Let's say viewFirst wants to reach viewTwo position:

(DON'T USE):

               viewFirst.animate()
                        .translationX(viewSecond.x)
                        .translationY(viewSecond.y)
                        .setDuration(1000)
                        .withEndAction {
                        //to make sure that it arrives, 
                        //but not needed actually these two lines
                            viewFirst.x = viewSecond.x
                            viewFirst.y = viewSecond.y
                        }
                        .start()

(USE THIS SOLUTION):

               viewFirst.animate()
                        .x(viewSecond.x)
                        .y(viewSecond.y)
                        .setDuration(1000)
                        .withEndAction {
                        //to make sure that it arrives, 
                        //but not needed actually these two lines
                            viewFirst.x = viewSecond.x
                            viewFirst.y = viewSecond.y
                        }
                        .start()

Using the getX() and getY() methods define the position of the view in pixels, but the constructor you use defines Float type values that must be values from 0.0f to 1.0f

TranslateAnimation(float fromXDelta, float toXDelta, float fromYDelta, float toYDelta)

This is another option using the view`s position in pixels:

viewFirst.animate()
        .x(viewSecond.getX())
        .y(viewSecond.getY())
        .setDuration(1000).withEndAction(new Runnable() {
    @Override
    public void run() {
        viewFirst.setX(tv2.getX());
        viewFirst.setY(tv2.getY());
    }
}).start();
