Why doesn&#39;t the textView become invisible?

Here is my layout xml:

    &lt;?xml version=&quot;1.0&quot; encoding=&quot;utf-8&quot;?&gt;
    &lt;LinearLayout xmlns:android=&quot;http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android&quot;
        android:layout_width=&quot;match_parent&quot;
        android:layout_height=&quot;match_parent&quot;
        android:orientation=&quot;vertical&quot; &gt;
	
        &lt;TextView
	    android:id=&quot;@+id/tvRotate&quot;
	    android:layout_width=&quot;wrap_content&quot;
	    android:layout_height=&quot;wrap_content&quot;
	    android:text=&quot;Rotate Me&quot;
	/&gt;
    &lt;/LinearLayout&gt;

..and here is my activity:

	public class RotateMeActivity extends Activity
	{
		@Override
		public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) 
		{
			super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
			setContentView(R.layout.main);
			TextView tvRotate = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.tvRotate);
			
			RotateAnimation r = new RotateAnimation(0, 180, Animation.RELATIVE_TO_SELF, 0.5f, Animation.RELATIVE_TO_SELF, 0.5f);
			r.setDuration(0);
			r.setFillAfter(true);
			tvRotate.startAnimation(r);
			tvRotate.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);
		}
	}
	
My goal is to rotate a view and then be able to hide and show it in code by setting setVisibility. The following works, but setRotation is available only in API Level 11. I need a way to do it in API Level 10.

    tvRotate.setRotation(180);//instead of the RotateAnimation, only works in API Level 11
    tvRotate.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);

Why doesn't setVisibility work after a view is animated?
