Answer 2

Check this out, I was able to move an image on a path. You can simply define path

    AnimatorPath path = new AnimatorPath();
    path.moveTo(0, 0);
    path.lineTo(0, 300);
    path.curveTo(100, 0, 300, 900, 400, 500);

Answer 3

public static ObjectAnimator ofObject (Object target, String propertyName, TypeEvaluator evaluator, Object... values)

Constructs and returns an ObjectAnimator that animates between Object values. A single value implies that that value is the one being animated to. Two values imply a starting and ending values. More than two values imply a starting value, values to animate through along the way, and an ending value (these values will be distributed evenly across the duration of the animation).

Parameters

target: The object whose property is to be animated. This object should have a public method on it called setName(), where name is the value of the propertyName parameter.

propertyName: The name of the property being animated.

evaluator: A TypeEvaluator that will be called on each animation frame to provide the necessary interpolation between the Object values to derive the animated value.

values: A set of values that the animation will animate between over time.

Returns
An ObjectAnimator object that is set up to animate between the given values.
