Hey, I was trying your code but I can not seem to find the LatLngInterpolator Can you please share the code for this Interpolator

Never mind found it here

What is the advantage of animating multiple markers this way, compared to Google's way?

I am getting error on this line...
final static Interpolator sInterpolator = new AccelerateDecelerateInterpolator();
In markerAnimation class, saying - Incompatible Types...

please give one example project i didn't understand Interpolator
