 <p>You probably need to set <a href="http://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/animation/Animation.html#attr_android%3afillEnabled" rel="nofollow"><code>android:fillEnabled="true"</code></a> and/or <a href="http://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/animation/Animation.html#attr_android%3afillAfter" rel="nofollow"><code>android:fillAfter="true"</code></a>. </p> <p>If that does not work you can apply the change to the layout in <a href="http://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/animation/Animation.AnimationListener.html#onAnimationEnd%28android.view.animation.Animation%29" rel="nofollow"><code>AnimationListener#onAnimationEnd</code></a>. </p>
