fillAfter and fillEnabled not working in Android view animation XML

Question

I'm curious as to this behavior ... I'm currently setting the two values in the anim XML:

    android:fillEnabled="true"
    android:fillAfter="true"

However, the transformation does not apply after the animation is done ... it always resets. When I set it programmatically via code it does seem to work:

    animation.setFillEnabled(true);
    animation.setFillAfter(true);

So I'm just curious how this should work, as I'd rather set it on the XML. Thanks!

as xml sequential loading animation and starting cause this problem with one animation with fillafter true works perfect — Ucdemir, Aug 28 '18 at 12:53

I had the same problem, this worked for me:

<set
    android:fillEnabled="true"
    android:fillAfter="true"
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">

    <translate
        android:fromYDelta="0"
        android:toYDelta="-20%p"
        android:duration="7000" />

</set>

Put the attributes fillEnabled and fillAfter in the Set tag.

Doesnt work for my animations with min and target set 14 and 19 respectively on a Nexus 4 with 4.4.4. Animation always reverts back to original ImageView. – RichieHH Jul 20 '14 at 20:55

It also works if you don't have the set tag and are just doing translate or something like so.

<translate xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"       
    android:interpolator="@android:anim/linear_interpolator"       
    android:fromXDelta="0"
    android:toXDelta="0"
    android:fromYDelta="1000"
    android:toYDelta="-300" 
    android:startOffset="100"
    android:duration="1000"
    android:fillAfter="true" />

In general, use the fillAfter and fillEnabled on the root element

so either

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<translate
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:fillAfter="true"
    android:fillEnabled="true"
    android:fromXDelta="0%"
    android:toXDelta="-100%"
    android:duration="500" />

OR

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<set
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:fillAfter="true"
    android:fillEnabled="true">
    <translate
        android:fromXDelta="0%"
        android:toXDelta="-100%"
        android:duration="500" />
</set>

Actually I was not setting these values in root but in inner set so I was facing the issue. — Rakesh Yadav, Jan 17 '18 at 12:12

putting the fillEnabled and fillAfter attributes in the set tag helped solved the issue.
