Answer 1

You can use a TranslateAnimation:

depending on what kind of animation you have in mind. You start the animation in the OnClickListener of your button. You could simply add

android:onClick="startAnimation"

in your button xml code, and define the

public void startAnimation(View v)

in your activity.
