Ok, so it's not me doing something stupid. :) Any thoughts as to the best solution?
I wrote a simple test whereby I created a RelativeLayout rather than a LinearLayout and defined the ViewGroup first and the buttons after, relative to the ViewGroup, which seemed to work ok in the test. So did calling buttonA.bringToFront() before starting the animation (although it screwed up the layout after the animation was complete by putting the Button A on the far right next to Button B). Neither seem a very elegant solution to what must be quite a common problem (I really don't want to have to re-define my whole layout again as that has implications for the whole app).
