Android ScaleAnimation and TranslateAnimation, how to avoid ScaleAnimation movement

I have an AnimationSet with inside a ScaleAnimation and a TranslateAnimation like this:

TranslateAnimation:

TranslateAnimation goTopFromRight =
        new TranslateAnimation(0, -(right.getLeft()-top.getLeft()),
                               0,-(right.getTop()-top.getTop()));

ScaleAnimation: 

ScaleAnimation =  setSizeForTop = new ScaleAnimation(1, 2, 1, 2);

and AnimationSet:

bringToLeftFromTopAnimationSet  = new AnimationSet(true);
bringToTopFromRightAnimationSet.addAnimation(goTopFromRight);
bringToTopFromRightAnimationSet.addAnimation(setSizeForTop);

The problem is that when i try to use only the ScaleAnimation, my item goes to the position i want, but whe I am using the ScaleAnimation with the TranslateAnimation in the AnimationSet, my item translates more than i need, as if ScaleAnimation introduces some supplementary movements abd I don't know how to delete them.

Thank you for your help.

My solution is to add a container outside your view, and apply the scale animation to your view while applying translate animation to the container.
Then you can make more complex animation even via XML~

The correct solution is to change order of animations. Scale must go first:

bringToTopFromRightAnimationSet.addAnimation(setSizeForTop);
bringToTopFromRightAnimationSet.addAnimation(goTopFromRight);

To avoid the ScaleAnimation movement when using the ScaleAnimation and TranslateAnimation, you have to multiply the TranslateAnimation parametres with those from ScaleAnimation like this:

TranslateAnimation goRightFromTop;
ScaleAnimation sizeNotUp;

goRightFromTop  = new TranslateAnimation(0,(-( invisibleCenterImageView.getLeft() - imageViewRight.getLeft() ))*(1/0.6667f), 0, (-( invisibleCenterImageView.getTop() - imageViewRight.getTop()))*(1/0.6667f)); 
sizeNotUp       = new ScaleAnimation(1,0.6667f,1,0.6667f,Animation.RELATIVE_TO_SELF, (float)0.5, Animation.RELATIVE_TO_SELF, (float)0.5);

And then, surprise you deleted the ScaleAnimation movement.

I remember having weird problems with nested animations as well. Have you tried setting the pivot point manually? See public ScaleAnimation (float fromX, float toX, float fromY, float toY, float pivotX, float pivotY) from http://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/animation/ScaleAnimation.html for it. It could work.
