How do I use this? Can you please provide an example? Right now, I'm trying this but nothing happens:

int abs    = ArcTranslateAnimation.ABSOLUTE;

ArcTranslateAnimation arcAnim = new ArcTranslateAnimation(
    abs, startX, abs, finalX, abs, startY, abs, finalY
);

arcAnim.setDuration(3000);
arcAnim.setFillAfter(true);

myView.startAnimation(arcAnim);

Could you please show me more details, such as view type and device information under your test.

I have successfully run the demo(https://github.com/guohai/and-ui-bezier-demo) app on HTC D816(Android 4.4.2).
Or you can directly download the apk by https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Byif_EC71S3XNUV2RllJcFNnM00/view?usp=sharing

Thankyou so much! I got it to work, I had misread the description of parameters. I was just supposed to use it like a simple TranslateAnimation:

ArcTranslateAnimation anim = new ArcTranslateAnimation(0, deltaX , 0, deltaY);
anim.setDuration(500);
anim.setFillAfter(true);

view.startAnimation(anim);

ArcTranslateAnimation is working.
But you have to be requested.
because I do not speak English well.. so I will show you an image.

Could you please fix it

HI. Can this class be used to move a view in a circular path or a circular arc of a circle.?
I am not getting it how to use it for the above use case.
