How to add Vibrate or Shake effect to any View

Sometimes we have to apply Shake or Vibrate effect to a view like text view or any other view for indicating user that something went wrong or wrong input.To achieve this we have some steps to follow:-

For Vibrate 

Step 1: Create the object for the Vibrator class

private Vibrator vibrateObject;

Step 2 : Block of code for vibrate the device for 300 millisecond

 vibrateObject = (Vibrator) getSystemService(Context.VIBRATOR_SERVICE);  
     // Vibrate for 300 milliseconds  
     vibrateObject.vibrate(300);  

Step 3: Add permission in Manifest.xml

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.VIBRATE" />

Shake The View Or Text

Step 1: Create shake_effect.xml in anim folder 

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>  
 <translate xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"  
   android:duration="300"  
   android:fromXDelta="0"  
   android:interpolator="@anim/cycle_inter2"  
   android:toXDelta="20" />  

Step 2: Create the Interpolator cycle_inter2.xml in anim folder under res

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>  
   <cycleInterpolator xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"  
     android:cycles="2" />  

Step 3: Apply on Views or text which you want to Shake

 findViewById(R.id.textView).startAnimation(AnimationUtils.loadAnimation(YourActivity.this, R.anim.shake_effect));  
 findViewById(R.id.simpleView).startAnimation(AnimationUtils.loadAnimation(YourActivity.this, R.anim.shake_effect));  

That's it now you can apply shake or Vibrate Effect on your application.
