Scale row + float view

[Odaym]

I want to have an animation that scales up the row that is being re-ordered. I placed this code inside startDrag(int, int, int, int) but it is only getting hit after the row has been dropped

View view = getChildAt(position);
PropertyValuesHolder pvhX = PropertyValuesHolder.ofFloat(View.SCALE_X, 1.1f);
PropertyValuesHolder pvhY = PropertyValuesHolder.ofFloat(View.SCALE_Y, 1.1f);
ObjectAnimator scaleAnimation = ObjectAnimator.ofPropertyValuesHolder(view, pvhX, pvhY);
scaleAnimation.start();

Any help would be appreciated!
