title: Hide view behind another view in Android
body: <p>I'm trying to get a view to "slide behind" another view. Consider a set of cards as an example: if I put card A behind card B, card A is still there but it is being blocked because card B is OVER or IN-FRONT-OF card A. </p>
  
  <p>I am well aware of setInvisibilty() but that is not the effect I'm looking for.</p>
  
  <p>I have an animation that animates a Google-Now-card-like view onto the screen. The card passes over some text that is shown in front of the card (whereas I want the card to slide above the text) during the animation. I have an alpha animation on the text which does not help as it's already pretty solid by the time the card passes over.</p>
  
  <p>Any response to the problem above or suggestions for a different method are highly appreciated.</p>
