Question

I have two button in one LinearLayout and inside this LinearLayout i have two button. When i animate LinearLayout then working fine but when tried to click on Button which is inside LinearLayout, click of button is not working.

I already searched a lot but not able get rid this issue.

Below code to animate LinearLayout

an = new RotateAnimation(angleRightHead, getRotateAngleRightEdgehead (), Animation.RELATIVE_TO_SELF, 1, Animation.RELATIVE_TO_SELF, 0.33f);
an.setRepeatMode(Animation.REVERSE);
an.setDuration(1000);              
an.setRepeatCount(0);                
an.setFillAfter(true);   
an.setFillEnabled(true);   
head_neck_ll.startAnimation(an);

and this code of XML

<LinearLayout  
    android:id="@+id/head_neck_idll"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="100dp"
    android:gravity="center"  
    android:orientation="horizontal" >    

    <Button
        android:id="@+id/head"
        android:layout_width="70dp"
        android:layout_height="20dp"
        android:background="@drawable/roundcorner"
        android:clickable="true"
        android:onClick="clickhander" />
     <!-- </RelativeLayout> -->

    <LinearLayout
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="50dp"
        android:orientation="vertical" >

        <RelativeLayout
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:padding="3dp"
            android:layout_height="16dp" >

            <Button
                android:id="@+id/lumber"
                android:layout_width="49dp"
                android:layout_marginLeft="3dp"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
                android:layout_centerVertical="true"
                android:layout_marginBottom="-10dp"
                android:background="@drawable/roundcorner"
                android:clickable="true"
                android:onClick="clickhander" />

        </RelativeLayout>

        <Button
            android:id="@+id/backupper"
            android:layout_width="80dp"
            android:layout_height="20dp"
            android:background="@drawable/roundcorner"
            android:clickable="true"
            android:onClick="clickhander" />
    </LinearLayout>

</LinearLayout>

and code for onClickListener

public void clickhander(View v){
    if(v.getId() == R.id.head){
        textv = head;
        v1right = mapRight.get(head);
        v1right = mapLeft.get(head);

        head.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.clickroundcorner);
        lumber.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.roundcorner);
        backupper.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.roundcorner);
        backlower.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.roundcorner);    
        legside.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.roundcorner);
        angle =0;
    } else if(v.getId() == R.id.backupper){
        textv = backupper;
        v1right = mapRight.get(backupper);
        v1right = mapLeft.get(backupper);

        backupper.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.clickroundcorner);
        head.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.roundcorner);   
        lumber.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.roundcorner);
        backlower.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.roundcorner);
        legside.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.roundcorner);
        angle =0;
    }
}

Myrequirement

Note: 1 and 2 both are in same layout. I want click listener on each with layout animation

Your help would be appreciated.

Please try to clear animation after completion of animation using animation listener. use 'clearAnimation()'. — Hiren Dabhi, Jul 06 '15 at 08:59
I think the problem is that the animation affects the images and not the button... Can u click on the button where it was and not where it is supposed to be? — eduyayo, Jul 06 '15 at 09:02
@HirenDabhi thank you for your idea. Actually I want both animation and click listener.. Any idea ?? — Subhalaxmi, Jul 06 '15 at 09:04
@eduyayo.. I am also struggling with same issue but what is solution ? Click of button working from where it was... — DJhon, Jul 06 '15 at 09:09
I think you `click` is working but animation is not working. Try to `Toast` of button id in `onClick`, you may have some problem with animation — Pratik Butani, Jul 06 '15 at 09:10
The truth is i donno... But there're more people with the same problem http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13318757/button-does-not-work-after-animation-android — eduyayo, Jul 06 '15 at 09:11
Maybe changing the button x and y by code or creating another button after anim is done. Please, upvote this girl, some gross guy downvoted — eduyayo, Jul 06 '15 at 09:11
`android:onClick` is for API level 4 onwards, so if you're targeting < 1.6, then you can't use it. — Pratik Butani, Jul 06 '15 at 09:14
@eduyayo Upvoted dear.. You are right? Please understand question then up and down the vote. — Pratik Butani, Jul 06 '15 at 09:16
@PratikButani n eduyayo plz check the question.. Any idea how i can achieve both? — Subhalaxmi, Jul 06 '15 at 09:22
Use 'ObjectAnimator' if API level is >= 'HoneyComb'. otherwise you have to set LayoutParam of your view. refer this http://www.widecodes.com/0xzgeVejkk/button-not-responding-to-click-event-after-translation-animation.html — Hiren Dabhi, Jul 06 '15 at 09:26

Yes, this is normal behavior. This is because animation just rerenders View's pixels, but it's position on the display remains the same.

If you want to relocate your View to the place where your animation ends, you need to call View.layout() method and pass these 4 parameters, which describe Views new position on its layout.

Keep in mind that View.layout() gets params relative to `View's parent.
