How To Move Marker On Map To New Coordinates?

Question

What I'd like to do: In this code I've instantiated a symbol with a camera position. All I'd like to do is animate the symbol on the map to another set of coordinates that I would hardcode in, for now. I've tried many things but can't figure out how to get this to work.

What I've Tried: I've seen two examples for the Mapbox Android SDK and have tried variations of these just to get the marker moving to another point but I'm very lost:

This example uses Object Animator: https://docs.mapbox.com/android/maps/examples/animate-marker-position/

This example doesn't use any Animators and just updates the symbol based on coordinates: https://docs.mapbox.com/android/maps/examples/api-response-icon-update/

Where I'm at Now: I finally decided to just update the symbol and the documentation pointed me to use this:

AnnotationManager.update(Annotation).

but I'm not sure how. Please help I've been stuck for a very long time and I'm feeling lost. Thanks.

P.S. Should I just try the Object Animator?

protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

        Mapbox.getInstance(this, getString(R.string.access_token));

        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        mapView = findViewById(R.id.mapView);
        mapView.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        mapView.getMapAsync(new OnMapReadyCallback() {
            @Override
            public void onMapReady(@NonNull final MapboxMap mapboxMap) {
                mapboxMap.setStyle(Style.LIGHT, new Style.OnStyleLoaded(){
                    @Override
                    public void onStyleLoaded(@NonNull Style style){

                        //Import Icon
                        Bitmap icon = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(),
                                R.drawable.blue_icon);

                        style.addImage(ID_IMAGE_SOURCE, icon);
                        style.addSource(new GeoJsonSource("source-id"));

                        //Create Symbol
                        SymbolManager symbolManager = new SymbolManager(mapView, mapboxMap, style);

                        symbolManager.setIconAllowOverlap(true);
                        symbolManager.setIconIgnorePlacement(true);


                        Symbol symbol = symbolManager.create(new SymbolOptions()
                                .withLatLng(new LatLng(33.718492, -117.796390))
                                .withIconImage(ID_IMAGE_SOURCE)
                                .withIconSize(.25f));

                        //Camera Position and Bounds
                        LatLngBounds latLngBounds = new LatLngBounds.Builder()
                                .include(new LatLng(33.717872, -117.796296))
                                .include(new LatLng(33.718342, -117.797975))
                                .build();

                        mapboxMap.animateCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngBounds(latLngBounds,
                                        30));

Answer 1

This is solved. Animator from Android SDK is needed. Too much was changed from my original code to post it all here. If you come across the same problem let me know and I'll help out.
