Android: How can I stop an infinite animation applied on an ImageView?
Solution 1
You can also call anim.cancel();
but you should also call anim.reset();
immediately after it.
Then when you want to start it again, just call startAnimation
on the view.
Solution 2
Use clearAnimation()
to stop an animation. There is no loadAnimation()
on View
.

I have an ImageView on which I have applied a rotate animation. Since I want the rotation to go on continuously, I gave the repeatCount as infinite in my rotate.xml:
android:repeatCount="infinite"
In onCreate(), I load the animation and start it.
Animation myAnim = AnimationUtils.loadAnimation(this, R.anim.rotate); objectImg.startAnimation(myAnim);
When a button is pressed, the rotation must stop. Hence in my onClick(), I called clearAnimation().
objectImg.startAnimation(myAnim);
My simple question is whether stopping the animation is the right thing to do. I assume clearAnimation() corresponds to loadAnimation(), but there is no stopAnimation() that corresponds to startAnimation().
