Repeat android animation
AndroidAndroid AnimationAndroid Problem Overview
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.vitesse);
gpsManager = new GPSManager();
gpsManager.startListening(getApplicationContext());
gpsManager.setGPSCallback(this);
Typeface tf = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(),
"font/DS-DIGI.TTF");
TextView loding =(TextView)findViewById(R.id.info_message);
loding.setTypeface(tf);
AlphaAnimation fadeIn = new AlphaAnimation(0.0f , 1.0f ) ;
AlphaAnimation fadeOut = new AlphaAnimation( 1.0f , 0.0f ) ;
loding.startAnimation(fadeIn);
loding.startAnimation(fadeOut);
fadeIn.setDuration(500);
fadeOut.setDuration(1200);
fadeOut.setStartOffset(1200+fadeIn.getStartOffset()+1200);
measurement_index = AppSettings.getMeasureUnit(this);
}
I want to repeat this of textview loding animation until gotting an inforamtion from GPS

Like this.
animation.setRepeatCount(Animation.INFINITE);
Solution 2 - Android
Android gives you elegant mechanisms to represent the loading process. You could use an indeterminate ProgressBar
, or an ImageView
with a scale/alpha animation, instead of animating the TextView
itself.
Maybe you might find this animation useful, for animating alpha and scale at the same time. Vary the parameters for your preference:
file res/anim/alpha_scale_animation.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<set xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
<scale
android:fromXScale="0.7"
android:toXScale="1.0"
android:fromYScale="0.7"
android:toYScale="1.0"
android:pivotX="50%p"
android:pivotY="50%p"
android:duration="4000"
android:repeatCount="infinite"
/>
<alpha
android:fromAlpha="0.0"
android:toAlpha="1.0"
android:duration="2000"
android:repeatMode="reverse"
android:repeatCount="infinite"
/>
</set>
then to launch it in your code:
Animation connectingAnimation = AnimationUtils.loadAnimation(getContext(), R.anim.alpha_scale_animation);
myView.startAnimation(connectingAnimation);
And to stop it:
myView.clearAnimation();
connectingAnimation.cancel();
connectingAnimation.reset();
You can also use libraries like ProgressButtonView to have both user interaction and loading process supported in the same widget.
Hope that any of these solutions result useful to someone :)
Solution 3 - Android
You can use these methods to control the repeat behavior:
fadeIn.setRepeatCount(int count) // or Animation.INFINITE
fadeIn.setRepeatMode(Animation.REPEAT) // or any other repeat mode, such as Animation.REVERSE
implement these listeners, if needed:
// anim = your animation
anim.setAnimationListener(new AnimationListener() {
public void onAnimationStart(Animation arg0)
{
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
}
public void onAnimationRepeat(Animation arg0)
{
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
}
public void onAnimationEnd(Animation arg0)
{
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
}
});
if you wanna stop your animation suddenly, use yourView.clearAnimation()
I hope this helps.

to repeat animation just add the code in xml file which located in anim folder file in which we create a animation object.
- android:repeatCount="infinite"
- android:repeatMode="restart"
Solution 5 - Android
Set repeat count to -1 then it will animate infinite
