Animation problems

Hello everyone,

I've been working with Java (on Windows) for a while and I made animation by drawing objects which move by resetting the position a couple of times per second in a background thread.

Now I started exploring Android and I'm told that it should not be done by this way on Android.
So I started using basic Animations (RotateAnimation, TranslateAnimation, etc.) to animate my Views (ImageViews which are the images I want to animate/move).
But then when I combine multiple animations the animation looks unstable, and I read there also can't worked around this problem. (src: android - Why is my rotate animation all wonky when applied to an Activity transition? - Stack Overflow)

So for a while I thought animation would not be possible at Android, but of course there are many apps released which use animation. (e.g. Angry Birds)

Now my question is:
How can I animate my ImageViews (or other ways of drawing) so they don't become unstable?

Thanks in advance,
Zinned
