title: Android Maps v2 - animate markers
body: <p>I'm creating a cluster feature for maps (v2). I group location into clusters and then display the clusters as custom markers:</p>
  
  <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/RgUMA.png" alt="enter image description here"></p>
  
  <p>This works great, but I would like to create an animation when clusters get created and split up. I successfully did this with iOS by creating a UIView Animation on the markers (annotations). I couldn't find any code / hints online for android.</p>
  
  <p>I managed to get a simple ImageView as overlay to resemble a cluster and then use a <code>TranslateAnimation</code> to get the desired animation. At the end I removed this view and added the marker.</p>
  
  <p>Is there a better way to animate a marker?</p>
