title: Android scale animation to specified size
body: <p>I'm trying to animate my <code>View</code> to a specified size.</p>
  
  <p>I have a <code>LinearLayout</code> that is divided into a grid of 3 rows and 3 columns. So I have 9 <code>LinearLayout</code>s as squares. I am trying to scale the square to a specified size i.e. the size of the outer parent view. I need my subview to scale and fill the parent view. </p>
  
  <p>From what I read in the Android <code>ScaleAnimation</code> docs, we have to specify a scale factor like 1.0.</p>
  
  <p>Is there a way to animate by specifying the bounds of the parent view or is calculating a scale factor the only way?</p>
  
  <p>BTW I'm using Android 2.1 SDK.</p>
