And here's the java code that calls the button event:

final ToggleButton bt=(ToggleButton) findViewById(R.id.mostrar);


    bt.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
        public void onClick(View v) {
            if (bt.isChecked()) {

                /*TranslateAnimation slide = new TranslateAnimation(0, 0, 0,
                          -findViewById(R.id.informgeral).getHeight()*2);
                           slide.setDuration(500);
                           slide.setFillAfter(true);
                           findViewById(R.id.informgeral).startAnimation(slide);*/

                findViewById(R.id.informgeral).setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);;

            } else {

            /*  TranslateAnimation slide = new TranslateAnimation(0, 0, 0,
                          findViewById(R.id.informgeral).getHeight());
                           slide.setDuration(500);
                           slide.setFillAfter(true);
                           findViewById(R.id.informgeral).startAnimation(slide);*/


                           //findViewById(R.id.listBut).startAnimation(slide);


                findViewById(R.id.informgeral).setVisibility(View.GONE);;


            }
        }
});

To animate layout changes, you can add the following attribute to your LinearLayout

android:animateLayoutChanges="true"

and it will animate changes automatically for you.

For information, if android:animateLayoutChanges="true" is used, then custom animation via anim xml will not work.
