Answer 1

I solved this problem using thread.

Button btn = (Button) findViewById(R.id.buttonpush);
    final TextView textview = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.hello);
    btn.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View view) {
            textview.setText("...................");
            final Animation animationtest = AnimationUtils.loadAnimation(MainActivity.this, android.R.anim.slide_in_left);
            animationtest.setDuration(1000);

            final Handler handler = new Handler();
            Runnable runnable = new Runnable() {
                public void run() {
                    handler.postDelayed(this, 1500);
                    textview.startAnimation(animationtest);
                }
            };
            handler.postDelayed(runnable, 500); // start
            handler.removeCallbacks(runnable); //STOP Timer

        }
    });
