How to properly implement the following scale / bounce animation?

I have the followin animation that scales an image from "invisible" to 60dp x 60dp adding a bounce effect. When this finishes it disappears with another scale effect
bounce_animation.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<set xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:shareInterpolator="false">
<set android:interpolator="#android:anim/bounce_interpolator">
<scale
android:fromXScale="0.1"
android:fromYScale="0.1"
android:toXScale="1.0"
android:toYScale="1.0"
android:pivotX="50%"
android:pivotY="50%"
android:duration="1600" />
</set>
<set>
<scale
android:startOffset="1900"
android:duration="200"
android:pivotX="50%"
android:pivotY="50%"
android:fromXScale="1.0"
android:fromYScale="1.0"
android:toXScale="0"
android:toYScale="0" />
</set>
</set>
This is my code to use this
MainActivity.java
final ImageView likeBig = findViewById(R.id.like_big);
final Animation bounceAnimation = AnimationUtils.loadAnimation(this, R.anim.bounce_animation);
bounceAnimation.setAnimationListener(new Animation.AnimationListener() {
#Override
public void onAnimationStart(Animation animation) {
likeBig.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
}
#Override
public void onAnimationEnd(Animation animation) {
likeBig.setVisibility(View.GONE);
}
#Override
public void onAnimationRepeat(Animation animation) {
}
});
The problem is that when I do likeBig.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE); image becomes visible for a fraction of a second in full size before the scale animation starts. I need the image to be invisible until the animation begins.
What's wrong with my approach?

I con only guess why the View is visible in full size at the beginning of the animation: maybe onAnimationStart() fires when the animation begins calculating the next changes but before the screen is updated for the first time?
That being said, you can use property animations instead of View animations to achieve the desired effect:
First, let your View have a size of just 1dp x 1dp in the beginning. Instead of setting a pivot, embed it at the center of a FrameLayout of size 60dp x 60dp. If required, you can set the visibility of the FrameLayout to GONE after the animation has finished (in this case, you need to register an Animator.AnimatorListener).
<FrameLayout
android:layout_width="60dp"
android:layout_height="60dp">
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/like_big"
android:layout_width="1dp"
android:layout_height="1dp"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:src="#mipmap/ic_launcher"
android:background="#0000ff"/>
</FrameLayout>
Next, the animations:
ObjectAnimator growX = ObjectAnimator.ofFloat(like_big,"scaleX", 1f, 60.0f);
ObjectAnimator growY = ObjectAnimator.ofFloat(like_big,"scaleY", 1f, 60.0f);
AnimatorSet growAnim = new AnimatorSet();
growAnim.playTogether(growX, growY);
growAnim.setDuration(1600);
growAnim.setInterpolator(new BounceInterpolator());
ObjectAnimator shrinkX = ObjectAnimator.ofFloat(like_big,"scaleX", 60.0f, 0.0f);
ObjectAnimator shrinkY = ObjectAnimator.ofFloat(like_big,"scaleY", 60.0f, 0.0f);
AnimatorSet shrinkAnim = new AnimatorSet();
shrinkAnim.playTogether(shrinkX, shrinkY);
shrinkAnim.setDuration(200);
shrinkAnim.setInterpolator(new LinearInterpolator());
AnimatorSet animatorSet = new AnimatorSet();
animatorSet.playSequentially(growAnim, shrinkAnim);
Start the animation by calling
animatorSet.start();

Why image rotation animation only works correctly for the first time

I have this simple arrow image rotation animation which works as intended only for the first time. from second time onward It's still do the rotation but without slow animation.
Here's the code in anim xml files
Rotate 180
<rotate xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:duration="1500"
android:fromDegrees="0"
android:toDegrees="180"
android:interpolator="#android:anim/linear_interpolator"
android:pivotX="50%"
android:pivotY="50%"
android:repeatCount="0"
android:fillAfter="true"
android:fillEnabled="true"/>
Rotate Revere
<rotate xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:duration="1500"
android:fromDegrees="180"
android:toDegrees="0"
android:interpolator="#android:anim/linear_interpolator"
android:pivotX="50%"
android:pivotY="50%"
android:repeatCount="0"
android:fillAfter="true"
android:fillEnabled="true"
/>
The image view inside card view.
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/creadit_card_next_image"
android:layout_width="#dimen/next_image_size"
android:layout_height="#dimen/next_image_size"
android:layout_marginEnd="#dimen/static_menu_primary_margin"
android:layout_marginTop="16dp"
android:rotation="-90"
android:src="#drawable/ic_navigate_next"
android:tint="#color/colorPrimary"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent" />
Java code to trigger Animation.
private Animation rotatePlus180;
private Animation rotateMinus180;
private boolean creditDebitCardViewExpanded = true;
rotatePlus180 = AnimationUtils.loadAnimation(this, R.anim.rotate_plus_180);
rotateMinus180 = AnimationUtils.loadAnimation(this, R.anim.rotate_minus_180);
private void onClickCreditDebitCardView() {
creditDebitCardPaymentMethod.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View view) {
if (creditDebitCardViewExpanded) {
expandAnimation(paymentRecyclerView);
creditDebitCardViewExpanded = false;
creditCardNextImage.setAnimation(rotatePlus180);
} else {
collapseAnimation(paymentRecyclerView);
creditDebitCardViewExpanded = true;
creditCardNextImage.setAnimation(rotateMinus180);
CreditDebitLayoutContainer.setPadding(0, 0, 0, padding);
}
}
});
}

Instead of setAnimation use startAnimation
creditCardNextImage.startAnimation(rotatePlus180);
creditCardNextImage.startAnimation(rotateMinus180);
setAnimation seems to be called once you attach the animation to the view/ or when the view is added.
StartAnimation will be called all the time even if the view has already been added.

How to rotate ImageButton source Image with Animation.

I need to rotate the drawable resource of ImageButton. I've succeeded rotating functionality to my Button but rotating functionality affect whole button. All I want to do is rotate only drawable inside ImageButton.
How to handle this situation ?
PS: I accessed drawable inside ImageButton but I wasn't able give any animation functionality.
Thanks in helpings
Here my ImageButton xml;
<ImageButton
android:id="#+id/button"
android:layout_width="50dp"
android:layout_height="50dp"
android:layout_gravity="center_vertical"
android:layout_marginTop="-40dp"
android:background="#color/titlebackground_color"
android:src="#drawable/open" />
Rotate first xml;
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<set xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:interpolator="#android:anim/linear_interpolator">
<rotate
android:fromDegrees="-180"
android:toDegrees="-360"
android:pivotX="50%"
android:pivotY="50%"
android:duration="500"
android:startOffset="0"
/>
</set>
Rotate Second xml;
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<set xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:interpolator="#android:anim/linear_interpolator">
<rotate
android:fromDegrees="-180"
android:toDegrees="-0"
android:pivotX="50%"
android:pivotY="50%"
android:duration="500"
android:startOffset="0"
/>
</set>
Animation functionality;
public class LayerInfoFragment extends Fragment {
int count = 0;
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
View v = inflater.inflate(R.layout.layer_info_main, container, false);
btnClose = (ImageButton) v.findViewById(R.id.button);
btnClose.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
Animation rotate = AnimationUtils.loadAnimation(getActivity(), R.anim.rotate_first);
Animation rotatex = AnimationUtils.loadAnimation(getActivity(), R.anim.rotate_last);
if (count % 2 == 0) {
v.setRotation(180);
v.setAnimation(rotate);
} else {
v.setRotation(0);
v.setAnimation(rotatex);
}
count++;
}
});
}
}

There are 2 things to try I think.
1) Add code v.startAnimation(rotate); after v.setAnimation(). I suspect your animation never got started. I was thinking before that android:startOffset in the settings would trigger a start but that is not clear to me.
2) Try RotateAnimation, a direct subclass of Animation, instead of Animation objects. It seems many used RotateAnimation more than anything else. Besides that, the other issue I suspect is in the layout file.
Example:
RotateAnimation rotate = (RotateAnimation) AnimationUtils.loadAnimation...
Tell us what happens.

Apply two alternate rotations to a View in Android

I'd like to apply 2 alternate rotation animations to a View. Each rotation should start after the click on the same View.
The result I'm looking for is:
the user clicks on the View and it rotates from 0° to 135°
the user clicks again on the View and it rotates from 135° to 0° (to the initial state)
The problem is that, when the user performs the second click, the Button resets to the initial aspect before starting the animation correctly.
I'm targeting Android APIs<11 so I'm using the startAnimation() method. The animations are applied to a Button view defined as follows:
<Button
android:id="#+id/button"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
The animations are the following
rotate_cw.xml (0° to 135° rotation):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<set xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:fillAfter="true">
<rotate
android:duration="300"
android:fromDegrees="0"
android:pivotX="50%"
android:pivotY="50%"
android:toDegrees="135" />
</set>
rotate_ccw.xml (135° to 0° rotation):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<set xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<rotate
android:duration="300"
android:fromDegrees="135"
android:pivotX="50%"
android:pivotY="50%"
android:toDegrees="0"/>
</set>
The animations are then applied in this way, where flag is a boolean global variable:
Button b = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button);
b.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View view) {
if (flag) {
Animation a = AnimationUtils.loadAnimation(this, R.anim.rotate_cw);
b.startAnimation(a);
} else {
Animation a = AnimationUtils.loadAnimation(this, R.anim.rotate_ccw);
b.startAnimation(a);
}
flag = !flag;
}
});
Am I missing anything?
Thanks in advance for your help.

How to animate button in android?

I am making an android app, and I have a button which leads to a messaging place. On the activity with the button, I check if there is any unread messages, and if so I want to do something to the button to let the user know that there is something unread.
I was thinking of having the button sorta vibrate horizontally like 3 shakes every 2 or 3 seconds.
I know how to run a thread in the background which does something every x milliseconds. But what I don't know what to do is shake it horizontally 3 times.
Can anyone help with this?
I was thinking of using the sin function, for the animation, I can use output from a sin function to get values that go up and down, which I can set the horizontal position of the button... But this seems too extreme, is there a better way?

I can't comment on #omega's comment because I don't have enough reputation but the answer to that question should be something like:
shake.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<rotate xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:duration="100" <!-- how long the animation lasts -->
android:fromDegrees="-5" <!-- how far to swing left -->
android:pivotX="50%" <!-- pivot from horizontal center -->
android:pivotY="50%" <!-- pivot from vertical center -->
android:repeatCount="10" <!-- how many times to swing back and forth -->
android:repeatMode="reverse" <!-- to make the animation go the other way -->
android:toDegrees="5" /> <!-- how far to swing right -->
Class.java
Animation shake = AnimationUtils.loadAnimation(this, R.anim.shake);
view.startAnimation(shake);
This is just one way of doing what you want, there may be better methods out there.

create shake.xml in anim folder
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<translate xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:fromXDelta="0"
android:toXDelta="10"
android:duration="1000"
android:interpolator="#anim/cycle" />
and cycle.xml in anim folder
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<cycleInterpolator xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:cycles="4" />
now add animation on your code
Animation shake = AnimationUtils.loadAnimation(this, R.anim.shake);
anyview.startAnimation(shake);
If you want vertical animation, change fromXdelta and toXdelta value to fromYdelta and toYdelta value

Class.Java
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.layout_with_the_button);
final Animation myAnim = AnimationUtils.loadAnimation(this, R.anim.milkshake);
Button myButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.new_game_btn);
myButton.setAnimation(myAnim);
}
For onClick of the Button
myButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
v.startAnimation(myAnim);
}
});
Create the anim folder in res directory
Right click on, res -> New -> Directory
Name the new Directory anim
create a new xml file name it milkshake
milkshake.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<rotate xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:duration="100"
android:fromDegrees="-5"
android:pivotX="50%"
android:pivotY="50%"
android:repeatCount="10"
android:repeatMode="reverse"
android:toDegrees="5" />

import android.view.View;
import android.view.animation.Animation;
import android.view.animation.Transformation;
public class HeightAnimation extends Animation {
protected final int originalHeight;
protected final View view;
protected float perValue;
public HeightAnimation(View view, int fromHeight, int toHeight) {
this.view = view;
this.originalHeight = fromHeight;
this.perValue = (toHeight - fromHeight);
}
#Override
protected void applyTransformation(float interpolatedTime, Transformation t) {
view.getLayoutParams().height = (int) (originalHeight + perValue * interpolatedTime);
view.requestLayout();
}
#Override
public boolean willChangeBounds() {
return true;
}
}
uss to:
HeightAnimation heightAnim = new HeightAnimation(view, view.getHeight(), viewPager.getHeight() - otherView.getHeight());
heightAnim.setDuration(1000);
view.startAnimation(heightAnim);

Dependency
Add it in your root build.gradle at the end of repositories:
allprojects {
repositories {
...
maven { url "https://jitpack.io" }
}}
and then add dependency
dependencies {
compile 'com.github.varunest:sparkbutton:1.0.5'
}
Usage
XML
<com.varunest.sparkbutton.SparkButton
android:id="#+id/spark_button"
android:layout_width="40dp"
android:layout_height="40dp"
app:sparkbutton_activeImage="#drawable/active_image"
app:sparkbutton_inActiveImage="#drawable/inactive_image"
app:sparkbutton_iconSize="40dp"
app:sparkbutton_primaryColor="#color/primary_color"
app:sparkbutton_secondaryColor="#color/secondary_color" />
Java (Optional)
SparkButton button = new SparkButtonBuilder(context)
.setActiveImage(R.drawable.active_image)
.setInActiveImage(R.drawable.inactive_image)
.setDisabledImage(R.drawable.disabled_image)
.setImageSizePx(getResources().getDimensionPixelOffset(R.dimen.button_size))
.setPrimaryColor(ContextCompat.getColor(context, R.color.primary_color))
.setSecondaryColor(ContextCompat.getColor(context, R.color.secondary_color))
.build();

In Kotlin, this way after XML:
Define a View:
val playDel = findViewById<ImageView>(R.id.player_del)
Find a Animation: Here from Android Lib
val imgAnim = AnimationUtils.loadAnimation(this, android.R.anim.fade_out)
Connect to the View
playDel.animation=imgAnim

First create shake.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<rotate xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:duration="100"
android:fromDegrees="-5"
android:pivotX="50%"
android:pivotY="50%"
android:repeatCount="10"
android:repeatMode="reverse"
android:toDegrees="5" />
Class.java
Animation shake = AnimationUtils.loadAnimation(this, R.anim.shake);
view.startAnimation(shake);
