Shake animation does not appear on the app-CodePudding

I am new in android. So I tried to apply shake animation for wrong answers in a quiz app. But it does not work. I also checked similar questions on this website but I could not find my mistake on my code. In terms of syntax, I guess everything is correct. Could you please help me on this?

    binding.questionText.setText(questionArrayList.get(questionNumber).getAnswer());

    binding.QuestionNumber.setText(questionNumber   "/"   questionArrayList.size());
}
    }

My shake.xml code:

'''

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<rotate xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:duration="150"
    android:fromDegrees="-10"
    android:pivotX="10%"

CodePudding user response：

Every android View has a protected property mCurrentAnimation. You can use methods setAnimation, getAnimation and clearAnimation to access this property and attach/detach animation to a view. Generally, аnimation wont start playing if you just set it.

Let's check startAnimation code:

        public void startAnimation(Animation animation) {
            animation.setStartTime(Animation.START_ON_FIRST_FRAME);
            setAnimation(animation);
            invalidateParentCaches();
            invalidate(true);
        }

You see? It sets start time for your animation to run next frame (immediately), attaches animation to a view with setAnimation method and calls invalidate (ask android to redraw this view). Without invalidate, animation could not start.

P.S. This is an old API for animation. Check android dev site for up to date API.
