I know its too late but Thanks for the reply. Basically what I want is a combination of Translate and rotate animation.
I dont know if i chose the right thing as i'm very new to android. I want to animate a object on a random curve (like a freehand drawn curve which has no specific shape).So for this i chose a animation set of translate and rotate animatinos. I hope it makes sense. and also i want to capture clicks on the object while it animates. Do you think you can help me? Probably i chose the wrong approach kindly correct me if so. Actually if you have a little idea of iPhone development, this kind of animation can be achieved by making a image animate on a "Path". And this path can be created by us by supplying random values. Its a cake walk in iPhone.
