[android-developers] Right way to animate children inside a viewgroup?

I am building a custom viewgroup that arranges a bunch of children in a particular layout. On a particular trigger (lets say an external button press), The children animate to new positions. The way I tried doing it was by starting a Timer and on each timer update, computing new positions and then calling requestLayout(). Is this the right way? I imagine this could be inefficient. 

Any ideas on what the right steps are to do a custom rearragement of child views?
