How can I set "toXDelta" translate animation value from java code?

Question

how can I set toXDelta value from java code? I need to calculate it first so I can't just use final value in xml. I could use animate().translateX on my view but then I can't make animation slowing down till the end.. any ideas?

You can use Viewfiliper Method. Refrence is : ViewFlipper | Android Developers

There is an example in this.(Android ViewFlipper Example)

And you make a custum animation in your code(See res/anim Folder)

This is example code:

The MainActivity.java code:

package com.javacodegeeks.android.viewflipperapp;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.MotionEvent;
import android.widget.ViewFlipper;

public class MainActivity extends Activity {
    private ViewFlipper viewFlipper;
    private float lastX;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
        viewFlipper = (ViewFlipper) findViewById(R.id.viewflipper);
    }

    // Using the following method, we will handle all screen swaps.
    public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent touchevent) {
        switch (touchevent.getAction()) {

        case MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN: 
            lastX = touchevent.getX();
            break;
        case MotionEvent.ACTION_UP: 
            float currentX = touchevent.getX();

            // Handling left to right screen swap.
            if (lastX < currentX) {

                // If there aren't any other children, just break.
                if (viewFlipper.getDisplayedChild() == 0)
                    break;

                // Next screen comes in from left.
                viewFlipper.setInAnimation(this, R.anim.slide_in_from_left);
                // Current screen goes out from right. 
                viewFlipper.setOutAnimation(this, R.anim.slide_out_to_right);

                // Display next screen.
                viewFlipper.showNext();
             }

            // Handling right to left screen swap.
             if (lastX > currentX) {

                 // If there is a child (to the left), kust break.
                 if (viewFlipper.getDisplayedChild() == 1)
                     break;

                 // Next screen comes in from right.
                 viewFlipper.setInAnimation(this, R.anim.slide_in_from_right);
                // Current screen goes out from left. 
                 viewFlipper.setOutAnimation(this, R.anim.slide_out_to_left);

                // Display previous screen.
                 viewFlipper.showPrevious();
             }
             break;
         }
         return false;
    }
}
