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

Use this before setVisibility after animation is completed:

anim.reverse();
anim.removeAllListeners();
anim.end();
anim.cancel();

where anim is your ObjectAnimator

but if you are using the Animation class, then just do:

view.clearAnimation();

on the view upon which the animation was performed
