Question

I tried using the following code in .java(main activity):

final ImageView diskView1 = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.can);
diskView1.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
    public void onClick(View v){

        System.out.println("Clicked.");

    AnimationSet canMov;
        RotateAnimation canRotate;
    TranslateAnimation canTrans;

            canMov = new AnimationSet(true);
            canRotate = new RotateAnimation(0,1360, Animation.RELATIVE_TO_SELF,0.5f , Animation.RELATIVE_TO_SELF,0.5f );
            canRotate.setStartOffset(50);
            canRotate.setDuration(20000);
            canMov.addAnimation(canRotate);
            canTrans =  new TranslateAnimation(Animation.RELATIVE_TO_PARENT, 0.0f, Animation.RELATIVE_TO_PARENT, 0.0f, Animation.RELATIVE_TO_PARENT, 0.0f, Animation.RELATIVE_TO_PARENT, 0.35f);
            canTrans.setDuration(20000);
            canMov.addAnimation(canTrans);
            canMov.setRepeatCount(0);
            canMov.setRepeatMode(Animation.REVERSE);
            diskView1.setAnimation(canMov);
            }
  });

I am able to get the message ‘clicked’ in LogCat, but the animation after that does not respond to the click.
However, without the use of onClick(), I get the full animation of the can.
I need the animation to start only after I click the can.
What am i doing wrong?

try calling this in the UI thread.

Where are you calling startAnimation(animatorSet) method?
