TranslateAnimation/AlphaAnimation causing GC?
===

I've two questions:

1. Why does a TranslateAnimation.start() cause GC_EXTERNAL_ALLOC?
I'm using a TranslateAnimation on a view that is over a GLSurfaceView,
and the gl renderer thread gets a stutter because of the GC.

2. I'm using an AlphaAnimation, and when it is activated the first
time, it becomes (and remains) stuttering (i.e. the change is not
continous). Meanwhile, GC_EXPLICIT is called in every 3 seconds
(sometimes a GC_CONCURRENT too), without a log tag. My application is
not doing ANYTHING in the meantime (because it is waiting for a user
keypress).
