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

I came up with a workaround for this: basically right before you call setVisibility(View.GONE), do an animation with duration=0 setFillAfter(false) and have the angle from/to set to the current angle of rotation.

This will clear the setFillAfter bitmap and allow the view to be gone.
