Looping with an XML animation file?

Question

I created an animation in an xml file. I apply it on a textview like this :

Animation anim = AnimationUtils.loadAnimation(this, R.anim.exit_about); 
anim.setRepeatMode(Animation.RESTART); 
anim.setRepeatCount(Animation.INFINITE); 
v.findViewById(R.id.global_about).startAnimation(anim); // v is my view 

This runs once even if I set a repeat count. Any idea ?

Answer 1

This is odd, I had the same problem, and then I found out about the setRepeatCount and setRepeatMode functions, and implemented them, and then they worked for me fine.

here's my code:

new AnimationUtils();

Animation controller = AnimationUtils.loadAnimation(context, R.anim.flasher);
controller.setRepeatCount(-1);
controller.setRepeatMode(2);
sectionText.startAnimation(controller);

Maybe try reversing the order of your setRepeatCount and setRepeatMode functions? Maybe there is something weird going on with your view?

Answer 2

    Animation anim = new AlphaAnimation(0.0f, 1.0f);
    anim.setDuration(50); //You can manage the time
    anim.setStartOffset(20);
    anim.setRepeatMode(Animation.REVERSE);
    anim.setRepeatCount(Animation.INFINITE);
    Yuor_textview.startAnimation(anim);
