Android Move Up Animation Effect

Welcome back to another Android animation effect tutorial. In this tutorial I'm gonna show you how to set android  move up xml animation effect. By move up animation we can move up any text, images or any other objects of our android apps.  Here is an example you are seeing.

Step 1:

First of all create a animation resource file under anim folder. Here I've created move_up.xml  that are showing in  following screenshot.

move_up.xml  animation resource file 

Step 2:

Write down the following code in  move_up.xml  file.

move_up.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<set xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">

    <translate
        android:duration="3000"
        android:fromYDelta="800"
        android:toYDelta="0"
        android:repeatCount="3"
        />

</set>

Note: To set the animation from the left corner or right corner you have to add  following code in move

        android:fromXDelta="-600"
        android:toXDelta="0"

Step 3:

Set an Image or Text in the activity_main.xml . Here I set an Image with ImageView with the id iv. The image is located at drawable folder. To clear look at the image below.

activity_main.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    tools:context="com.example.hp.symonapps.MainActivity">


<ImageView
    android:id="@+id/iv"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:src="@drawable/icon"
    android:layout_centerVertical="true"
    android:layout_centerHorizontal="true" />


</RelativeLayout>

MainActivity.java

package com.example.hp.symonapps;

        import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
        import android.os.Bundle;
        import android.view.animation.Animation;
        import android.view.animation.AnimationUtils;
        import android.widget.ImageView;


public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {



    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

       
        // create ImageView object then cast the ImageView 
        ImageView iv = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.iv);

        //set the animation
        Animation anim = AnimationUtils.loadAnimation(this,R.anim.move_up);
        iv.setAnimation(anim);


        
    } //onCreate end


}
