Question

In my android project I have an image that i want to rotate it and create animation for long time.
I can run program and it works fine. but I don’t know how can I stop it. if you know please tell me.

Thanks

This is my code, I have a menu with two items, When I click on Start item, startAnimation function runs and when I click on Stop item, stopAnimation runs.:

public class Hypnagogic extends Activity 
{
    ImageView imView;
    Animation an;

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) 
    {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.main);

        imView = (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.imView);
    }

    private void startAnimation()
    {
        an = AnimationUtils.loadAnimation(this, R.anim.spin);
        imView.startAnimation(an);
    }

    private void stopAnimation()
    {
        ;//there is no any stop function!
    }
}

also, in res/anim I put spin.xml that is my animation

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<set>
    <rotate
    android:fromDegrees="0"
    android:toDegrees="-18000"
    android:pivotX="50%"
    android:pivotY="50%"
    android:duration="50000" />
</set>

EDIT: I see. Okay, try the clearAnimation() method associated with the View class. You can call it directly on your ImageView, I’m almost certain this should work for your case:

imView.clearAnimation();

What have you tried? AnimationDrawable has a stop() method. You need to post how you’re creating/starting the animation.
