I'm following the code for StatusBarService and looking at
TrackingView animation. I see the animation involved changing the
height of LayoutParams, but I would like to change the x and y
location of my view during animation. I can change the x/y cords and
update call
WindowManagerImpl.getDefault().updateViewLayout
(mCustomControlBarView,
mCustomControlBarLayoutParams);
however, this does not change anything. I tried changing the gravity
settings and even removing them, but that didn't work me. Am I missing
some steps or going about in the wrong direction here? Please advice.
Thanks,
-Z.
