How to restart android AnimatedVectorDrawables animations?

Answer 1

I have the same issue so I did this:

// setup and set animation
AnimatedVectorDrawableCompat animatedVector = AnimatedVectorDrawableCompat.create(context, R.drawable.listening_vector_anim);
imageView.setImageDrawable(animatedVector);

// loop animation!
new Thread(() -> {
    while (imageView.isAttachedToWindow()) {
        try {
            imageView.post(() -> animatedVector.start());
            Thread.sleep(2000); //depends on your animation duration
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}).start();

This thread will die when the ImageView detach from window.
