Hi,

I am working on a board game. I have a board and pieces over its positions.
I have a PieceView that draw the piece's drawable bitmap on the corresponding position.

Now I want to translate this piece to another position (up, down, left or right). I made a TranslateAnimation, and it almost work, the problem is when the animation end, the piece go bak to his previous position. I suposse that it make a redraw once the animation finished.

Do you know how to avoid the last redraw?

Regards,
Chiara

The android.view.animation system only animates / moves the drawing of the view, but does not update the location of a given view in a container after the animation is finished. The most recent Android dev blog post from Chet explains the new animation system in Honeycomb, but also the deficiency in the old system you are running into:

I recommend that you consider making one custom view for the game board and that you manage and draw the bitmaps directly including any animation updates. The android view.animation package is really meant for simple GUI animations and not so much for a game even a basic one.

Hi Michael, thanks for your response, I find out how to make it work by extending ViewGroup witch contains all the pieces views and by animating them with an extra imgView.
