Question

i have made the following animation xml file in my android project:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<set xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shareInterpolator = "true"
android:interpolator="@android:anim/linear_interpolator">
<scale
 android:fromXScale = "1.0"
 android:toXScale = "0.0"
 android:pivotX="50%"
 android:pivotY="50%"
 android:duration="40000"> 
 </scale>
 </set>

what this is basically doing is making a view dissappear starting from its center.

Now in my code i am doing the following to start the animation:

overridePendingTransition (0,R.anim,myanimation);

but nothing is happening.

what am i doing wrong?

thank you in advance.

Answer 1

try this:

Animation a = AnimationUtils.loadAnimation(this, R.anim.myanimation);
myView.setAnimation(a);
a.start();
