Android animation does not repeat

I'm trying to make simple animation that is repeated several times (or infinite).

It seems that android:repeatCount does not work!


Here is my animation resource from /res/anim/first_animation.xml :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<set

    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

    android:shareInterpolator="false"

    android:repeatCount="infinite"

    >

    <scale

        android:interpolator="@android:anim/decelerate_interpolator"

        android:duration="500"

        android:fromXScale="1.0"

        android:fromYScale="1.0"

        android:toXScale="1.2"

        android:toYScale="1.2"

        android:pivotX="50%"

        android:pivotY="50%"

        android:fillAfter="false" />

    <scale

        android:interpolator="@android:anim/accelerate_interpolator"

        android:startOffset="500"

        android:duration="500"

        android:fromXScale="1.2"

        android:fromYScale="1.2"

        android:toXScale="1.0"

        android:toYScale="1.0"

        android:pivotX="50%"

        android:pivotY="50%"

        android:fillAfter="false" />

</set>

First it should scale image from 1.0 to 1.2 size in 500 ms.


And then scale it back to 1.0 in 500 ms.


Here is how I'm using it:

Animation firstAnimation = AnimationUtils.loadAnimation(this, R.anim.first_animation);

imgView.startAnimation(firstAnimation);

It makes one cycle and then finishes.


It scales up, then scales down ans then stops.





How can I make this work as intended?
