Update layout with the animation

Question

I have a custom View inherited from LinearLayout. It contains a Button and a EditText. EditTest has initial visibility set to GONE. When Button is pressed I want EditText to appear with animation effect. So I've made an ScaleAnimation and when Button is pressed I set EditText#setVisibility(VISIBLE) and start the animation. The problem is that it takes 100% of space and animation is performed inside those bounds. So when there are more View's placed below they are moved down immediately, but I want them to move slowly as the animation progresses. Is there any way to do this?

Answer 1

I've used to solve my issue by overriding applyTransformation method of Animation and call View's setLayoutParams according to transformation.
