In my android app I am making a button shake using this code

public void FlashButton() {

    final Button button = ((Button)findViewById(R.id.button_message));
    final Animation moveright = AnimationUtils.loadAnimation(this, R.anim.moveright);
    final Animation moveleft = AnimationUtils.loadAnimation(this, R.anim.moveleft);
    final Animation moveright2 = AnimationUtils.loadAnimation(this, R.anim.moveright2);

    AnimationListener animation1Listener = new Animation.AnimationListener() {
        @Override
        public void onAnimationStart(Animation animation) {}
        @Override
        public void onAnimationRepeat(Animation animation) {}
        @Override
        public void onAnimationEnd(Animation animation) {
             button.startAnimation(moveleft);
        }
    };
    AnimationListener animation2Listener = new Animation.AnimationListener() {
        @Override
        public void onAnimationStart(Animation animation) {}
        @Override
        public void onAnimationRepeat(Animation animation) {}
        @Override
        public void onAnimationEnd(Animation animation) {
             button.startAnimation(moveright2);
        }
    };
    AnimationListener animation3Listener = new Animation.AnimationListener() {
        @Override
        public void onAnimationStart(Animation animation) {}
        @Override
        public void onAnimationRepeat(Animation animation) {}
        @Override
        public void onAnimationEnd(Animation animation) {
             button.startAnimation(moveright);
        }
    };

    moveright.setAnimationListener(animation1Listener);
    moveleft.setAnimationListener(animation2Listener);
    moveright2.setAnimationListener(animation3Listener);

    button.startAnimation(moveright);
}

This code sets three animations sequentially in a loop forever.

But how do I stop the animation, and make the button normal again?

I tried .clearAnimation(); but it didn't work...

Does anyone know?

Thanks.

Try cancelling the animations and see, something like

 moveright.cancel();
 moveright2.cancel();
 moveleft.cancel();

Or try reset as well

 moveright.reset();

similar for others
