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

Grishka's answer helped me a lot, works perfectly. In order to animate the translation using the Honeycomb API with nineoldandroids, I set up a FloatEvaluator for the translation value and then used either setTranslationX on Honeycomb+ or the TranslateAnimation method. Here is my code:

public class TranslationXEvaluator extends FloatEvaluator {

private View view;

public TranslationXEvaluator(View view) {
    this.view = view;
}

@Override
public Float evaluate(float fraction, Number startValue, Number endValue) {
    float translationX = super.evaluate(fraction, startValue, endValue);
    if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.HONEYCOMB) {
        view.setTranslationX(translationX);
    } else {
        TranslateAnimation anim = new TranslateAnimation(translationX, translationX, 0, 0);
        anim.setFillAfter(true);
        anim.setDuration(0);
        view.startAnimation(anim);
    }
    return translationX;
}

}
