title: Applying successive animations to ImageView in Android
body: <p>I would like to apply successive animations (say ScaleAnimation) to an ImageView showing a resource image. The animation is triggered by a button. For example, I would like to incrementally enlarge an image upon each button click.</p>
  
  <p>I've set fillAfter="true" on the animation. However, all the animations start from the original state of the ImageView. It seems as if the ImageView resets its state and the animation is always the same, instead of starting from the final state of the previous animation.</p>
  
  <p>What am I doing wrong?</p>
  
  <pre><code>public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
      super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
      setContentView(R.layout.main);
  
      Button button = (Button)findViewById(R.id.Button01);
      button.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
  
          public void onClick(View arg0) {
              animate();
  
          }});
  }
  
  private void animate() {
      ImageView imageView = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.ImageView01);
  
      ScaleAnimation scale = new ScaleAnimation((float)1.0, (float)1.5, (float)1.0, (float)1.5);
      scale.setFillAfter(true);
      scale.setDuration(500);
      imageView.startAnimation(scale); 
  }
  </code></pre>
