workaround

I'm using the getX() and getY() method on a view for some special dragging logic (not animation, i.e. I never use setX/Y methods, I just need the getters to check).

However, I've come to realize that these are only available post-API 11.

The docs for getX() say that is it the addition of the 'left' property and the 'translationX' property. All well and good, except get/setTranslationX() is only around since API 11 as well.

I was wondering if there was any knowledge on what this method returns behind the scenes, so I could maybe put in a workaround.

Thanks for any help - Chase
