Android animation stop works in recyclerview when view go off the screen

Question

I set animaion like this:

@Override
    public void onBindViewHolder(ViewHolder holder, int position) {     
            Animation anim = AnimationUtils.loadAnimation(context, R.anim.rotate);
            holder.windPropellers.setAnimation(anim);
            break;
}

When the view scrolled off the screen animation stops. And when you scroll back it's not animating at all.

Answer 1

You need to set transient state in the view to prevent it from being recycled.

Your code would look like this:

@Override
public void onBindViewHolder(final ViewHolder holder, int position) {     
        Animation anim = AnimationUtils.loadAnimation(context, R.anim.rotate);
        holder.windPropellers.setHasTransientState(true);
        anim.setListener(new AnimatorListenerAdapter() {
            @Override
            public void onAnimationEnd(Animator animation) {
                holder.windPropellers.setHasTransientState(false);
            }
        });
        holder.windPropellers.setAnimation(anim);
        break;

}
