How do I run an animation for a short period of time?

Question

I have a looping animation I want to present for an image button before a static image is used; on each button press. Is there a way to run this animation for around 2000 milliseconds then switch over to the image. What I have tried just results in a pause then the static image.

    button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener(){         

      @Override
   public void onClick(View v) {

       animationrun();
             long time = System.currentTimeMillis();
             time += 2000;
             while(time > System.currentTimeMillis())
             {}

       select();        


   }

     });

     public void animationrun()
 {
 button.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.ball_anim);
        animation = (AnimationDrawable)button.getBackground();
        animation.start();
 }



      public void select()
     { 
     button.setBackgroundResource(R.solidImage); 
     }

Answer 1

Try setting the Animation duration, and using an AnimationListener, onAnimationEnd()
