Not sure what android version your using, but it may be a bug in the android libraries!
Looks like that's what the problem is for me! :)

Problem
I'm animating a an ImageView from the left to the right of the screen using a translate animation. The ImageView is place inside a RelativeLayout over the top of my main layout using FrameLayout. When I run the animation on the emulator everything works pretty well but when I use run it on my G1 it leaves visual artifacts behind and effects the rendering of the text component behind it. Is this a performance issue and I'm being too ambitious or is it a bug I can overcome? If it is a performance issue is there anything I can do to improve things?
