You could try doing a View Animation [LINK] on the ImageView. Rotate is one of the included animations, and you can define it in XML. Here's a [this video] from Google explaining it a little more.

Try to use the new Animation API (for backwards compatability use NineOldAndroids). Also I recommend to watch this: [this video]

If you want to zoom in/out view you can use scale animation. I recommend to watch Chet Haase tutorials called DevBytes: View Animations [this video]

What about this: number1.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() { @Override public void onClick(View v) { number1.startAnimation(animBounce); } }); EDIT: Quick tutorial on Android animations: [this video]

Check this video, this shows easy examples of different animations which can be applied to most Views : [this video] Name of the video : DevBytes View Animations for example for moving around a button use a TranslateAnimation : TranslateAnimation myTranslateAnimation = new TranslateAnimation(fromX, toX, fromY, toY); // fill in your coordinates from where, to where you want to move it myTranslateAnimation.setDuration(1000); // Animation plays for 1 sec myImageButton.startAnimation(myTranslateAnimation);

The difference is mainly that if you use a TranslateAnimation, the view which you are animating does not really leave its original position on the screen, it just makes it look like it is moving. So the view basically doesnt change its coordinates. Check this video about View Animations : [this video] If you use an ObjectAnimator the view really changes its actual position. TranslateAnimation is not deprecated, you can still find it on Lollipop, but for most cases I can recommend a class called ViewPropertyAnimator [LINK] , which many people still dont seem to know about, it is probably the easiest and most straight forward way to animate a view, and can also save you a lot of code. Heres an exam

1) Regarding the bounty: Existing answers on SO [LINK] suggest subclassing the FrameLayout... If you want to use an ObjectAnimator you have no choice but to subclass the View you want to animate. You need to provide the ObjectAnimator with the necessary getter and setter methods to do its magic as it essentially just calls those getter and setter methods to perform the Animation . The question you are linking to ( Animate the transition between fragments [LINK] ) is subclassing FrameLayout to add a setXFraction() and a getXFraction() method. They are implemented in a way to set the x value relative to the width of the FrameLayout . Only by doing this can the ObjectAnimator do anything else b

Inside onAnimationEnd() you have to update your layout parameters of the view which you are animating, in your case it's LinearLayout. You have to update view in respect of the parent. If your animated view parent is e.g. RelativeLayout you can call this: RelativeLayout.LayoutParams params = (RelativeLayout.LayoutParams) animatedView.getLayoutParams(); //TODO modify params animatedView.setLayoutParams(params); animatedView.requestLayout(); I think this should work. You can also try calling requestLayout() on the parent. There is also tutorial on YT [this video] about View animations. Chet Haase talks about handling animations including TranslateAnimation . I don't have time to watch but maybe you
