title: Move view from top to bottom continuously without animation in Android
body: <p>I want to know how to move a view from top to bottom continuously without animation. I am asking this because I want to get the position of the view at every step so that I can check that if there is any collision between that view and any other view. </p>
  
  <p>With animation you can move (not exactly move) a view from one position to another position (Animator class), but animation produces an illusion to the user that it is moving but it's position is fixed all the time. So this can't be done using animation?</p>
  
  <p>Second approach is incrementing position of view. I applied this method in <code>onCreate()</code>. If I used it without <code>Thread.sleep(50)</code> then the activity doesn't show the view, if I applied it with <code>Thread.sleep(50)</code> then activity doesn't start for some period.</p>
