android - Making textView loop a growing and shrinking animation -

i trying make textview grow , shrink. process should repeated infinitely. how achieve that? scale.xml looks this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <set xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">   <scale     android:fromxscale="1.0"     android:fromyscale="1.0"     android:toxscale="2.0"     android:toyscale="2.0"     android:duration="1400" />  </set> 

here's animation method:

public void runanimation() {     animation = animationutils.loadanimation(this, r.anim.scale);     a.setrepeatmode(animation.reverse);     a.setrepeatcount(animation.infinite);     a.reset();     textview.clearanimation();     textview.startanimation(a); } 

now problem textview grows, reverses starting appereance. why won't go reverse, shrink , repeat process?

try :

public void runanimation() {     animation = animationutils.loadanimation(this, r.anim.scale);     a.setrepeatmode(animation.reverse);     a.setrepeatcount(-1);     textview.clearanimation();     textview.startanimation(a); } 

edit

here own code working right :

call animate animate(textview)

public void animate (view view) {     manimation = new scaleanimation(0.3f,0.5f,0.3f,0.5f,animation.relative_to_self, 0.5f, animation.relative_to_self, 0.45f);     manimation.setduration(300);     manimation.setrepeatcount(-1);     manimation.setrepeatmode(animation.reverse);     manimation.setinterpolator(new accelerateinterpolator());     manimation.setanimationlistener(new animation.animationlistener(){          @override         public void onanimationstart(animation animation) {         }          @override         public void onanimationend(animation animation) {         }          @override         public void onanimationrepeat(animation animation) {         }     });     view.setanimation(manimation); }
