title: Scale Animation behaving like translate animation
body: <p>i am implementing scale animation for practice in a game.. i am following all guides but something weird is happening always instead of making the object larger. the animation not only makes the image larger but also moves it even though i am not using translate animation...</p>
  
  <p>here the xml file</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?&gt;
  &lt;set android:shareInterpolator="false"    
   xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"&gt;
  &lt;scale
      android:interpolator="@android:anim/accelerate_decelerate_interpolator"
      android:fromXScale="1.0"
      android:toXScale="1.4"
      android:fromYScale="1.0"
      android:toYScale="1.4"
      android:pivotX="50%"
      android:pivotY="50%"
      android:fillAfter="false"
      android:duration="1000" /&gt;
   &lt;/set&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and here it is called in java</p>
  
  <pre><code>private void startAnimation(final ImageView imageView) {
          final Animation popAnim = AnimationUtils.loadAnimation(getActivity(), R.anim.scalebounce);
          imageView.startAnimation(popAnim);
          popAnim.setAnimationListener(new AnimationListener() {
  
              public void onAnimationStart(Animation animation) {
  
              }
  
              public void onAnimationRepeat(Animation animation) {
  
              }
  
              public void onAnimationEnd(Animation animation) {
                  imageView.clearAnimation();
                  imageView.setVisibility(View.GONE);
              }
          });
      }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>its really weird i have tried all the solutions i have found in the net but no luck it still does that translate behavior even though it is only scale... im making the image from small point then it becomes bigger(normal size). but i dont want it to move, just to be in its place. thanks :)</p>
  
  <p><strong>P.S i've been observing the animation and it seems that it takes larger space thats why it looks like it is moving..why does it takes larger space? not the actual image size?</strong></p>
