How to clear animation in right way

Question

I am confused with a problem:

Animation animation = new TranslateAnimation(0, 0, 200, 0);
animation.setDuration(800);
animation.setFillAfter(true);

btnView.startAnimation(animation);
btnView.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);

I run this code work right but when I add the below code:

btnView.clearAnimation();

The animation can't show, how to clear animation after this?

Answer 1

if you want to clear the animations for the view once the animations i finished

you have to override Animation Listener of view and then clear the animation

if you want your view to move back to intial postion just setFillafter(false);

animation.setAnimationListener(new AnimationListener() {

            @Override
            public void onAnimationStart(Animation animation) {


            }

            @Override
            public void onAnimationRepeat(Animation animation) {


            }

            @Override
            public void onAnimationEnd(Animation animation) {
                // TODO set params of the view to required position

            }
        });

Answer 2

To clear animation after it is finished set setFillAfter to false.
