hello sir your animation is sooo gooodd.... i really love it. but when i tried to try this at my project i noticed that its not infinite.didn't know why : (. i think the avd.start() in onAnimationEnd is not working.please help.

I hope you reply thanks

registerAnimationCallback only work on API >= 23 :'(

hi, i have api > 23 but this example not work. i want animate AnimatedVectorDrawable in optionsMenu.
`@Override

public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
    getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.top_menu, menu);
    if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.M) {
         animatedVectorDrawable = (AnimatedVectorDrawable) menu.getItem(0).getIcon();
            animatedVectorDrawable.registerAnimationCallback(new Animatable2.AnimationCallback() {
                @Override
                public void onAnimationEnd(Drawable drawable) {
                    animatedVectorDrawable.start();
                    super.onAnimationEnd(drawable);
                }
            });
        animatedVectorDrawable.start();
    }
    return true;
}`
