Matrix.setTranslate() only translates the visual surface of the View and not the clickable area?

Nope the documentation states that it only modifies the matrix. If you want to actually change the rest of the system's interpretation of the view, set an animation listener that sets the position when the animation ends.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
