Android animation does not repeat

Question

I\'m trying to make simple animation that would repeat several times (or infinitely).
It seems that android:repeatCount does not work!
Here is my anim

Answer 1

After researching through the answers from internet, I found a solutions which works perfectly for me. (And yes, the repeatCount and repeatMode is extremely buggy when used together with animationSet).

anim_rotate_fade.xml:

In activity: (Solve it by introducing a slight delay after animation ended).

ImageView starlightImageView = new ImageView(this);
starlightImageView.setImageResource(R.drawable.starlight);
final AnimatorSet animate = (AnimatorSet) AnimatorInflater.loadAnimator(this, R.anim.anim_rotate_fade);
AnimatorListenerAdapter animatorListener = new AnimatorListenerAdapter() {
    @Override
    public void onAnimationEnd(Animator animation) {
        super.onAnimationEnd(animation);
        new Handler().postDelayed(new Runnable() {
            @Override public void run() {
                animate.start();
            }
        }, 1000);
    }
};
animate.setTarget(starlightImageView);
animate.addListener(animatorListener);

There are a lot of classes you would like to research on, but currently I'm using objectAnimator which is highly flexible. I wouldn't recommend to use Animation or AnimationUtils:

• Animation
• AnimationUtils
• Animator
• AnimatorInflater
• AnimatorListener
• AnimatorListenerAdapter
