In my app, I have a button to show a drop-down menu, inside of that menu we have some options, one of this is "flip A coin", the purpose of this option is to flip a coin easy animation, that animation appears inside a textView, and show a head-side or a tail-side of a coin instead of the text in the textView. I have two problems:
- The animation doesn't work how I want, it should appear in 1 second a coin instead of the text inside the textView, it stays there and after 2 seconds he disappears, but after the disappearance, the coin image come back inside the textView, it shouldn't reappear.

- This is not a real question for a problem but more an optional question like "you know how to do that?". I 'don't know how to create a flip animation with a coin multiple rotations.
XML drop down menu:
<item
android:id="@+id/flipacoin"
android:title="@string/flipACoin" />
<item
android:id="@+id/rolladice"
android:title="@string/rollADice" />
<item
android:id="@+id/imagebackground"
android:title="@string/changeImage" />
JAVA code that calls the animation function:
@Override
public boolean onMenuItemClick(MenuItem item) {
switch (item.getItemId()){
case R.id.flipacoin:
flipACoin();
return true;
case R.id.rolladice:
Toast.makeText(this,"TODO roll a dice",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
return true;
case R.id.imagebackground:
Toast.makeText(this,"TODO image background",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
return true;
default:
return false;
}
}
JAVA animation function:
public void flipACoin(){
coin.setText(null); //this is for remove the text inside the textView
coin.setBackground(RANDOM.nextFloat() > 0.5f ? getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.tails) : getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.heads));
Animation fadeIn = new AlphaAnimation(0, 1);
fadeIn.setInterpolator(new DecelerateInterpolator());
fadeIn.setDuration(1000);
Animation fadeOut = new AlphaAnimation(1, 0);
fadeOut.setInterpolator(new AccelerateInterpolator());
fadeOut.setStartOffset(2000);
fadeOut.setDuration(1000);
AnimationSet animation = new AnimationSet(false);
animation.addAnimation(fadeIn);
animation.addAnimation(fadeOut);
coin.setAnimation(animation);
}
