TextView disappears after translate Animation from one linearlayout to other linearlayout

Question

I am trying to swap two text views (which are in different linear layouts) with each other.

My requirement is little similar to the one mentioned in the below link,

Animation: Move TextView into another container

I used ObjectAnimator of "nineoldandroids" library, but the textview is getting disappeared when it moves to other layout.

Could someone please help me out on this. Thanks in advance.

Update 1:-

Now I used PropertyValuesHolder of "nineoldandroids" library to perform translate animation. After using PropertyValuesHolder, textview are visible (i.e., not disappeared) after completing animation. But the onclick function is not working after the animation.

Also I placed toast message to check the X dimension of Textviews after animation.

Then I got the following displays:- Before Animation:- for textview at first row & first column (i.e., tv11) :- 0.0 for textview at second row & second column (i.e., tv22) :- 0.0

After Animation:- for textview at first row & first column (i.e., tv11) :- 240.0 for textview at second row & second column (i.e., tv22) :- -240.0

Is there anyway, to make these text views as a child for other layouts (to where they have been moved).

Please find the below code for the same:-

• MainActivity.java:-

  findViewById(R.id.tv22).setOnClickListener( new View.OnClickListener() {
          public void onClick(View v) {
  
              PropertyValuesHolder pvhX = PropertyValuesHolder.ofFloat("x", +240);
              PropertyValuesHolder pvhY = PropertyValuesHolder.ofFloat("y", +380);
              ObjectAnimator.ofPropertyValuesHolder(findViewById(R.id.tv11), pvhX, pvhY).setDuration(2000).start();
  
  
              PropertyValuesHolder pvhX2 = PropertyValuesHolder.ofFloat("x", -240);
              PropertyValuesHolder pvhY2 = PropertyValuesHolder.ofFloat("y", -380);
              ObjectAnimator.ofPropertyValuesHolder(findViewById(R.id.tv22), pvhX2, pvhY2).setDuration(2000).start();
              Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, ((TextView)findViewById(R.id.tv11)).getX()+"tv11", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
              Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, ((TextView)findViewById(R.id.tv22)).getX()+"tv22", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
  
          }
      });

• Update 2:-

Even after performing below changes, onclick is not working fine. Could someone please help me.
