Android: How can I stop an infinite animation applied on an ImageView?

Question

I have an ImageView on which I have applied a rotate animation. Since I want the rotation to go on continuously, I gave the repeatCount as infinite in my rotate.xml:

Answer 1

clearAnimation() on View is best solution , it stops and reset previous state of view.

Answer 2

You can also call anim.cancel(); but you should also call anim.reset(); immediately after it. Then when you want to start it again, just call startAnimation on the view.

Answer 3

Use clearAnimation() to stop an animation. There is no loadAnimation() on View.
