setAnimation on textView has no effect

Question

I'm working on application, and I have an Activity where I have to show a TextView .

Initially the TextView is invisible, but when I have to make it visible I set an animation before. The animation works fine on Alcatel One Touch API 17, HTC One X API 17 and Samsung S3 Neo API 19 but on the Nexus 5 API 23 it still uses the default animation while being visible (fade in).

Is there any reason for that to happen? This is the code I use:

myTextView.setAnimation(AnimationUtils.loadAnimation(getApplicationContext(), R.anim.come_in_from_left));
myTextView.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);

Edit

I just noticed that when im not on debugger the animation don't work at all on all the devices !!! it look like i need to keep my devices connected to ADB !!

Answer 1

使用startAnimation()而不是setAnimation()并在setVisibility()之后调用它

Answer 2

I finally resolve it , there was two issues :

First

My TextView was inside a RelativeLayout which has a LinearLayout as parent, the attribute andoid:animateLayoutChanges was first mentioned in the RelativeLayout ,i moved it inside LinearLayout .

Second

As mreza sh suggested to me , i replace setAnimation() with startAnimation() and call it after setVisibility()

Now it works fine on all devices , even disconnected from the debugger !
