Why i can't click my button while its animated?

Question

i have a imageButton with a animation(moving from point A to B), and i want to make him invisible if I click it, the problem is, the button doesn't become invisible while the animation is on.

Animation code:

Animation animation = new TranslateAnimation(0, 0,-500, 600); 
animation.setDuration(6000); 
animation.setFillAfter(true); 
rndCoin.startAnimation(animation);

Animation animation = new TranslateAnimation(0, 0,-500, 600); animation.setDuration(6000); animation.setFillAfter(true); rndCoin.startAnimation(animation); thats the animation code — Mário Caldas, Feb 02 '17 at 21:39
Mário, don't put your code in coments. Edit your question to explain better what is your problem. This code should be inside your question — Leandro Borges Ferreira, Feb 02 '17 at 21:43

If you would like to ask a question in Portuguese, you can use this site: http://pt.stackoverflow.com/. But don't worry!

You problem is that you are using View animation, and it makes you button unclickable until your animation ends.

There are two types of animation:

View animation: It's a more simple and easier to use, but you have some limitation (like the one you have right now!) - You can check more about it here

Property Animation: It is a more robust framework. You don't necessarily have to use this with Views, you can animate pretty much anything... Just use your creativity. With this kind of animation you will be able to change the visibility of your button while the animation is going on. Take a look here for more info.
