MainActivity.java

protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
        button=(Button)findViewById(R.id.button2);
        linearLayout=(LinearLayout) findViewById(R.id.linearLay);
        button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @TargetApi(Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP)
            @Override
            public void onClick(View view) {
                AlertDialog.Builder builder=new AlertDialog.Builder(getApplicationContext());
                int x=view.getWidth()/2;
                int y=view.getHeight()/2;
                int finalRadius=Math.max(x,y)/2;
                Animator anim= ViewAnimationUtils.createCircularReveal(linearLayout,x,y,0,finalRadius);
                anim.start();
                builder.setPositiveButton("Ok", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
                    @Override

                    }
                });
                builder.setNegativeButton("Cancel", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {

Answer 1

What @Diveno says is correct, but if you don't want to set minsdk to 21 you can add this check before instantiating the object:

if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP) {
    //now you can use ViewAnimationUtils
}

Answer 2

ViewAnimationUtils was added in API level 21, you need to set minsdk to 21
