Why doesn't setVisibility work after a view is animated?

Question

Why doesn\'t the textView become invisible?

Here is my layout xml:

Answer 1

Another way to work around this is to wrap your animated view in another view and set the visibility of that wrapper view.

And the code then becomes this:

TextView tvRotate = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.tvRotate);
FrameLayout animationContainer = (FrameLayout)findViewById(R.id.animationHoldingFrame)

RotateAnimation r = new RotateAnimation(0, 180, Animation.RELATIVE_TO_SELF, 0.5f, Animation.RELATIVE_TO_SELF, 0.5f);
r.setDuration(0);
r.setFillAfter(true);
tvRotate.startAnimation(r);
animationContainer.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);
