Android: How can I stop an infinite animation applied on an ImageView?

Viewed 47057

I have an ImageView on which I have applied a rotate animation. Since I want the rotation to go on continuously, I gave the repeatCount as infinite in my rotate.xml:

android:repeatCount="infinite"

In onCreate(), I load the animation and start it.

Animation myAnim    = AnimationUtils.loadAnimation(this, R.anim.rotate);
objectImg.startAnimation(myAnim); 

When a button is pressed, the rotation must stop. Hence in my onClick(), I called clearAnimation().

objectImg.startAnimation(myAnim); 

My simple question is whether stopping the animation is the right thing to do. I assume clearAnimation() corresponds to loadAnimation(), but there is no stopAnimation() that corresponds to startAnimation().

You can do it simply by removing this line : android:repeatCount="infinite" from your rotate.xml file

Simply add below two lines.

anim?.cancelAnimation()

anim?.progress = 0f
