Android scale image view with animation

Question

i have an ImageView and would like to scale it smaller with animation. i use

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<set xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:interpolator="@android:anim/linear_interpolator">
    <scale
        android:fromXScale="1.0"
        android:toXScale="0.7"
        android:fromYScale="1.0"
        android:toYScale="0.7"
        android:pivotX="50%"
        android:pivotY="10%"
        android:duration="1500" />
</set>

This works good. But after the animation is finished the image gets back to its original size. Any ideas why?

Try with this code, it will not reset the image size after animation, here view is the imageview you want to animate.

ObjectAnimator scaleDownX = ObjectAnimator.ofFloat(view, "scaleX", 0.5f);
ObjectAnimator scaleDownY = ObjectAnimator.ofFloat(view, "scaleY", 0.5f);
scaleDownX.setDuration(1000);
scaleDownY.setDuration(1000);

AnimatorSet scaleDown = new AnimatorSet();
scaleDown.play(scaleDownX).with(scaleDownY);

scaleDown.start();
