animation - How to animate a view in Android and have it stay in the new position/size?

Question

I currently have a view in my Android app and the view is playing a frame animation. I want to animate the view to increase its size to 150%. When I apply a scale animation to it, and the scale animation is completed, I want the viewer to stay at that new size for the rest of the activity's life cycle. Unfortunately right now when the scale-up animation is complete, the view snaps back to the original size. How can I get it to keep the new animated transformation?

I'm using

myView.startAnimation(AnimationUtils.loadAnimation(mContext,R.anim.scaleUp150));

Thanks!

Make sure you add below attributes to the root element in your animation xml:

android:fillAfter="true" 
android:fillEnabled="true"
