Answer 1

Try starting your animation after the window gets focus by overriding onWindowFocusChanged in your Activity:

  @Override
  public void onWindowFocusChanged (boolean hasFocus)
  {
      //Start animation here
  }

See docs here: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/Activity.html#onWindowFocusChanged%28boolean%29
