Attributes

Remarks

Sets the target object whose property will be animated by this animation. Not all subclasses operate on target objects (for example, ValueAnimator, but this method is on the superclass for the convenience of dealing generically with those subclasses that do handle targets.

<strong>Note:</strong> The target is stored as a weak reference internally to avoid leaking resources by having animators directly reference old targets. Therefore, you should ensure that animator targets always have a hard reference elsewhere.
