What if I want to animate a view (lets say a button) in an "S" shape from the top right of the screen to the bottom left of the screen? Use a FrameLayout and then have a whole bunch of translate animations that I have to hand-code?
With a handler and an AbsoluteLayout, I can do this easily wherein at each callback I change the x/y position of the view and redraw. Might not be the most efficient way to draw, but atleast I can do it. Please let me know how I can achieve this without an AbsoluteLayout.
