android how can i close a SlidingDrawer that was opened manually

Question

Been searching for a solution and i partially got it but still need to ask..
I use my finger to open the drawer.
Through code im closing the drawer after user point on any of the icons.

the width=110 is because there are 3 icons in the drawer and i want them to stay on the right side just like the picture show below.

im using this

<translate android:fromXDelta="80%" android:toXDelta="100%" android:duration="300"/>

It kind of works but after it closes, it pops out again. why..

Also it's not good to write the width=110 in stone, but i could not come up with a better solution at this time. the text_ball, delete_ball and plus_ball are all a set of ldpi, hdpi and mdpi.

sorry if this sounds like two question. just trying to input as much info as possible for cooking the right answer.

If I understand you correctly, your question can be greatly simplified to this:

I'm running an animation and at the end of the animation, the layout is not in its final animation state; it returns to its original state instead. How do I stop this?

In code, assuming anim is your animation variable, simply call anim.setFillAfter(true); before starting your animation.
