Android Animation Flicker

Question

I\'ve been trawling through as many threads on this topic that I can find on the flicker that arises in Android 2.2 when dealing with AnimationListeners, but I can\'t quite

I had the same problem and after few days I found the solution ... thanx to:

I figured out a solution to this problem. The clue came from the fact that when showing the view, everything worked fine. Apparently, when the animation is running, the update that would be forced by the show happens in the background and doesn't cause the flicker. Adding a short animation to the back end of the onAnimationEnd() when we are hiding the view makes the flicker go away.

Here is the new onAndimationEnd() in the working code

  public void onAnimationEnd(Animation animation) {
            animation = new TranslateAnimation(0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f);
            animation.setDuration(1);
            mPlayer0Panel.startAnimation(animation);
   }
