As far as I understand, exploring the same problem that Android Animations do not succeed when provided coordinates for their launch or completion.
Android forums have a dialog box about this error, but I'm still experiencing problems in 4.2.

, , API (ObjectAnimator).
View view = this;
ObjectAnimator anim = ObjectAnimator.ofFloat(view, "y", 0, 100);
anim.setDuration(super.animationDuration());
anim.start();
ObjectAnimator.ofFloat(view, "y", 0, 100);
ObjectAnimator.ofFloat(Object objBeingAnimated, String propertyBeingAnimated, float startValue, float endValue)
