Setvisibility(view.gone) Doesn't Disappear A View

In my activity, I have a start button, and when that's clicked it should fade out and finally disappear by setVisibility(View.GONE) The problem is setting visibility to GONE doesn'

Solution 1:

Because your fillAfter is true, the animation sets the properties after your onAnimationEnd is called. You can either change fillAfter to false, or do it like this:

@Override
public void onAnimationEnd(Animation animation) {
    new Handler().postDelayed(new Runnable() {
        @Override
        public void run() {
            startButtonArea.setVisibility(View.GONE);
            Log.d("Animation ended","startButtonArea SHOULD BE GONE BUT IT ISN'T");
        }
    }, 0);
}
