Open dialog from view position

I'm trying to animate a dialog open from view position. I want that my dialog shows from a button position for example and hides to the same position when dismissed.

this thread Animate a custom Dialog gave me an idea and i came to this xml:

<scale
    android:duration="500"
    android:fromXScale="0.0"
    android:fromYScale="0.0"
    android:pivotX="20%p"
    android:pivotY="20%p"
    android:toXScale="1.0"
    android:toYScale="1.0" />

but i dont know how to dynamically set an start position, cause my button change position.

any idea?

tks a lot....

You can use the method getLocationOnScreen() from the View class to get the current position from the button or any other view you want to use as an anchor.

Edit - Or you may find useful to use instead of Dialog a PopupWindow using the coordinates that you can get through getLocationOnScreen in method showAtLocation().
