*** ** * ** *** Represents a group of Animations that should be played together. The transformation of each individual animation are composed together into a single transform. If AnimationSet sets any properties that its children also set (for example, duration or fillBefore), the values of AnimationSet override the child values. The way that AnimationSet inherits behavior from Animation is important to understand. Some of the Animation attributes applied to AnimationSet affect the AnimationSet itself, some are pushed down to the children, and some are ignored, as follows: - duration, repeatMode, fillBefore, fillAfter: These properties, when set on an AnimationSet object, will be pushed down to all child animations. - repeatCount, fillEnabled: These properties are ignored for AnimationSet. - startOffset, shareInterpolator: These properties apply to the AnimationSet itself. Starting with[Build.VERSION_CODES.ICE_CREAM_SANDWICH](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/Build.VERSION_CODES#ICE_CREAM_SANDWICH), the behavior of these properties is the same in XML resources and at runtime (prior to that release, the values set in XML were ignored for AnimationSet). That is, calling`setDuration(500)`on an AnimationSet has the same effect as declaring`android:duration="500"`in an XML resource for an AnimationSet object.

| ### setFillAfter Added in[API level 1](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels) ``` public void setFillAfter (boolean fillAfter) ``` If fillAfter is true, the transformation that this animation performed will persist when it is finished. Defaults to false if not set. Note that this applies to individual animations and when using an[AnimationSet](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/animation/AnimationSet)to chain animations.
| Parameters || |-------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | `fillAfter` | `boolean`: true if the animation should apply its transformation after it ends
| ### setFillBefore Added in[API level 1](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels) ``` public void setFillBefore (boolean fillBefore) ``` If fillBefore is true, this animation will apply its transformation before the start time of the animation. Defaults to true if[setFillEnabled(boolean)](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/animation/Animation#setFillEnabled(boolean))is not set to true. Note that this applies when using an[AnimationSet](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/animation/AnimationSet)to chain animations. The transformation is not applied before the AnimationSet itself starts.
| Parameters || |--------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | `fillBefore` | `boolean`: true if the animation should apply its transformation before it starts
| ### setRepeatMode Added in[API level 1](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels) ``` public void setRepeatMode (int repeatMode) ``` Defines what this animation should do when it reaches the end.

| Returns || |-----------|---------------------------------------------------------------------| | `boolean` | true if this animation will change the transformation matrix
| ## Protected methods ### clone Added in[API level 1](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels) ``` protected AnimationSet clone () ``` Creates and returns a copy of this object. The precise meaning of "copy" may depend on the class of the object. The general intent is that, for any object`x`, the expression: > > ``` > x.clone() != x > ``` will be true, and that the expression: > > ``` > x.clone().getClass() == x.getClass() > ``` will be`true`, but these are not absolute requirements. While it is typically the case that: > > ``` > x.clone().equals(x) > ``` will be`true`, this is not an absolute requirement. By convention, the returned object should be obtained by calling`super.clone`. If a class and all of its superclasses (except`Object`) obey this convention, it will be the case that`x.clone().getClass() == x.getClass()`. By convention, the object returned by this method should be independent of this object (which is being cloned). To achieve this independence, it may be necessary to modify one or more fields of the object returned by`super.clone`before returning it. Typically, this means copying any mutable objects that comprise the internal "deep structure" of the object being cloned and replacing the references to these objects with references to the copies. If a class contains only primitive fields or references to immutable objects, then it is usually the case that no fields in the object returned by`super.clone`need to be modified.
| Returns || |---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|----------------------------------| | [AnimationSet](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/animation/AnimationSet) | a clone of this instance.
| | Throws || |------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|---| | [CloneNotSupportedException](https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/CloneNotSupportedException) | |
