B4X:
myView.SetLeftAnimated(Duration As Int,Position As Int)
myView.SetTopAnimated(Duration As Int,Position As Int)
myView.SetWidthAnimated(Duration As Int,Position As Int)
myView.SetHeightAnimated(Duration As Int,Position As Int)
B4X:
MyView.SetLayoutAnimated(AnimSpeed,MyView.Left,-MyView.Height,MyView.Width,MyView.Height) ' off screen
...
MyView.SetLayoutAnimated(AnimSpeed,MyView.Left,10dip,MyView.Width,MyView.Height) ' back on screenWith the new functions the amount of typing is reduced:
