how to make translation animation for each listview items

@user724861 has given the perfect answer!!how ever i found it's confusing where to put the code he has suggested...i put that code in my ListFragment activity as follow..

public void onActivityCreated(Bundle savedInstanceState) {    super.onActivityCreated(savedInstanceState);            AnimationSet set = new AnimationSet(true);    Animation animation = new AlphaAnimation(0.0f, 1.0f);    animation.setDuration(300);    set.addAnimation(animation);    /*animation = new TranslateAnimation(Animation.RELATIVE_TO_SELF, 50.0f,            Animation.RELATIVE_TO_SELF, 0.0f, Animation.RELATIVE_TO_SELF,            0.0f, Animation.RELATIVE_TO_SELF, 0.0f);    animation.setDuration(10);    set.addAnimation(animation); just comment if you don't want :) */     LayoutAnimationController controller = new LayoutAnimationController(            set, 0.5f);    lv.setLayoutAnimation(controller);    adapter = new LazyAdapter(getActivity(), numResults, nodes, tabType);    setListAdapter(adapter);}

Using LayoutAnimations!

In the docs you can set via android:layoutAnimation xml attr

see here

the animation of each item should not start at the same time

If you want it, you can do something like this:

layout_controller.xml:

<layoutAnimation xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"android:delay="30%"android:animation="@anim/scale" />

scale.xml:

<set xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"android:interpolator="@android:anim/accelerate_interpolator"><scale  android:fromXScale="0.1"  android:toXScale="1"  android:fromYScale="0.1"  android:toYScale="1.0"  android:duration="800"  android:pivotX="10%"  android:pivotY="10%"  android:startOffset="100" /></set>

And then in your Java after SetListAdapter() paste the following code:

LayoutAnimationController controller = AnimationUtils.loadLayoutAnimation( this, R.anim.layout_controller);getListView().setLayoutAnimation(controller);

note that "android:delay" makes animations start with delay after previous one.
