There are so many ways to make an animation on Android that you might get a
little lost if you don't know where to start. So here is the grand tour! You'll find
out how all the techniques in this book can be used to make your application
stand out from the rest.
Animations are divided loosely into a spectrum. At the top of the spectrum
there are the simplest kinds of animation, and at the bottom there are the most
complex kinds.
1.Animations that just show the same animation every time you play it. Or, if
they do change, then they follow some simple pre-defined pattern. These are
frame animations.
‹‹ 2.Animations that apply to a widget-based application, which take an ordinary input
form and move it around in a way that means something. These are the tweens and
the animators.
3.‹‹ Animations that can show anything calculated on the fly from whatever data they
are given. Games are made like this. These are the surface-based animations.
Android lets you combine these three techniques, but you get to choose them
