Your problem is access integer value as dimen. Below code will work without any issue:

<translate
    android:fromXDelta="0%" android:toXDelta="-100%"
    android:duration="@integer/anim_time" />

Please refer to AnimationDrawable docs about duration attribute:

This may also be a reference to a resource (in the form "@[package:]type:name") or theme attribute (in the form "?[package:][type:]name") containing a value of this type.

So, if your value is integer it's type should be integer. Actually, dimens values are not allowed per above documentation.
