I am using animators (ObjectAnimator) to animate few properties (scale, rotate) of a view.

Target view is animating properly when ObjectAnimators are set to it.

But there is an added requirement to get view to the original position (reset) after a while.

I tried to cancel() the animator but it only cancels the animation and doesn't reset the view.

Possible solution : creating another animator that does just opposite of the initial animator.

Is there any other way to reset it ?
