Move view hiding its side in android

Question

Moving a view I try to hide all parts of view that cross some vertical line, so view starts to loose its width to 0. The image describes better what I want. I mean not just shrink a width with scaleX but hide, because this command compresses the photo horizontally, and I need to hide it without distortion.

How can I do it?

On the image a photo started to move left with translationX hiding line by line left side of the photo during this movement. Also, the photo is not at left edge of screen - it's on the center

View has left(and x) attribute in its LayoutParams.

How can I dynamically set the position of view in Android?

When left attribute is negative, it is hidden under the parent view.

If you want an animation, here is the document!

it's not about positioning or resizing a view. Why you posted it as it obviously cannot help? – Alexey Simchenko Feb 11 '23 at 02:01
If you set `left` attribute to negative, you can hide it under the parent view. – Jaewoo Pyo Feb 11 '23 at 02:19
