title: Android Animate view from off screen not working
body: <p>I have a view that is positioned totally off screen and I am trying to animate it onto the screen. </p>
  
  <p>When I call:</p>
  
  <pre><code>view.startAnimation(tA);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>nothing happens, tA.initialize and tA.applyTransformation never get called.</p>
  
  <p>If I move the view so that any part of it is visible before I start the animation, then the animation works correctly.</p>
  
  <p>What is preventing a view from being animated when it is positioned off the parent View?</p>
