Android Question Simple Animation is done only in last duration seconds...

[Cableguy]

Well, the title is a bit off, but it's basically that...

I'm using the standard animation lib to achieve a simple curtain effect on a Panel... I initialise the scale animation, set its duration and start it assigning the panel as target view...
The animation sort of works... But only in the last moments of the duration...
If duration is 1000 (1s), it happens almost instantly in the last milliseconds of the duration, if I set duration to 15000 (15s), the actual animation takes place only in the last 2 or 3 seconds...

Anyone else has experienced this?

Note that you can use View.SetLayoutAnimated for simple animations.

Try to reproduce it in a small project and upload the project.

I can't use the SetlayoutAnimated method because I need to create a series of simple animations chain... the end event of the current animation will start the next one and so on...

Here's my basic sample code... Tested in my Wiko lenny2 and in a Samsung A5, same result

The scale animation modifies the scale factors.

Correct code:

Sub TopPanel_Click
   Anim.InitializeScale( "Anim", 1, 1, 1, 0)
   Anim.Duration = 15000
   Anim.Start(TopPanel)
End Sub

Ah ah!!!!
I new there was something weird going on... Thanks Erel!!
