corwin42 Expert Licensed User Longtime User Dec 4, 2014 #1 I tried to animate a Checkbox to a new position and size with the new View.SetLayoutAnimated(). This looks strange, because the Checkbox first gets scaled up and then move/scales to the new position. Added an example. The effect is most visible on a tablet.

Erel B4X founder Staff member Licensed User Longtime User Dec 5, 2014 #2 This is not a bug. The size change animation works by changing the view's scale property. The scale is set based on the target size. In some cases you will see a "strange" scale effect when the animation starts. It is especially visible if the change is between a large size to a small size. I found out that the current implementation is better than starting from the original size and scaling it to the target size. In that case the animation ends with a similar jumpiness and it is more substantial.

Erel B4X founder Staff member Licensed User Longtime User Dec 11, 2014 #4 It is a side-effect of the scaling animation which actually scales the whole view. As long as the animation is done by changing the scale property this side-effect will remain.
