java - Android property animation: how to increase view height?

Question

How to increase the view height using Property Animations in Android?

ObjectAnimator a = ObjectAnimator.ofFloat(viewToIncreaseHeight, "translationY", -100);
a.setInterpolator(new AccelerateDecelerateInterpolator());
a.setDuration(1000);
a.start();

The translationY actually moves the view not increase the height. How can I increase the height of the view?

Answer 1

ValueAnimator anim = ValueAnimator.ofInt(viewToIncreaseHeight.getMeasuredHeight(), -100);
anim.addUpdateListener(new ValueAnimator.AnimatorUpdateListener() {
    @Override
    public void onAnimationUpdate(ValueAnimator valueAnimator) {
        int val = (Integer) valueAnimator.getAnimatedValue();
        ViewGroup.LayoutParams layoutParams = viewToIncreaseHeight.getLayoutParams();
        layoutParams.height = val;
        viewToIncreaseHeight.setLayoutParams(layoutParams);
    }
});
anim.setDuration(DURATION);
anim.start();
