I tried to say that reflection is a great mechanism, but it’s a bit overhead for simple animations. Of course, it’ll not be very noticeable, but why not to replace it with a more simple tool? Also, take a look at this blog post https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2011/05/introducing-viewpropertyanimator.html . It’s about why ViewPropertyAnimator was developed as a replacement for ObjectAnimator. Also, please, note, that I’m not talking about really simple animations, when you need just to rotate one view or something like that.
Yep, it’s my mistake, also tried to say about multiple views, not multiple properties of one view. I’ll edit it, thank you for such expanded feedback, it’s really useful!
