ObjectAnimator.setDuration is ignored

The setDuration function of the ObjectAnimator class in Android appears to be completely ignored. No matter what value I pass it, the animation is always completed instantly.

    ObjectAnimator.ofFloat(mView, "translationY", 0, 100)
            .setDuration(2000)
            .start();

The above code increases the Y value of mView by 100 (essentially pushing it further down the screen). The actual translation occurs correctly, however it is instantaneous. The setDuration(2000) is completely ignored. Why is this?

EDIT:

This seemsto be based on the device - the samsung galaxy s4 appears to have an issue with interpolating views correctly. This is the same issue as this question.

Solution

  • This turned out to be an issue with the default animation duration scale under Developer Options. I've answered a similar question here.
