title: Unable to make child view wider than parent in Android Layout
body: <p>I'm moving a view after an animation completes(to slide out a menu from the left). However, I don't seem to be able to achieve the effect I'm looking for. What I'd like is for the view to extend to the right past the parent's bounds, like this:</p>

  <p>but what's happening is actually this:</p>
  
  <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/T6u3f.png" alt="Actual Result"></p>
  
  <p>The view resets itself to stay within the bounds of the parent. Even if I set an absolute pixel value (by looking at the display's width, or even a randomly large value). </p>
  
  <p>The reason I need to do this is detailed in this SO question about a view's actual position after an animation has completed:
  <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3397370/translateanimated-imageview-not-clickable-after-animation-android">TranslateAnimated ImageView not clickable after animation [Android]</a></p>
  
  <p>any thoughts? Thanks!</p>
