I wish to move smoothly to next scroll position in my custom view (on button press or event). How to implement this? First of all I can't see scroll animation class (only alpha, rotate, scale and translate). Secondly, having animation class, I can't see iterative one (say to scroll 100 pixels rights whatever position we have) only absolute ones (i.e. to animate from one constant value to another).

Assuming you are using a ScrollView, does smoothScrollTo(...) work for you?
