How to remove a View when animation ends?

Question

I\'m creating a game and I would like to display a simple \"score\"-animation to the player when credits are given to him. This is the view I throw onto the screen:

I also found that when removing a view from its parent after applying an animation to this view (using onAnimationEnd) crashes with NPE on the dispatchDraw of the parent.

The only solution I found is to trigger the removal inside a post call. Normally all UI modification must be done on the UI thread, so I added a runOnUiThread call on the activity, but it could be useless (it works for me without that).

Animation animation = AnimationUtils.loadAnimation(parentView.getContext(), animationId);
animation.setAnimationListener(new AnimationListener() {
    public void onAnimationStart(Animation paramAnimation) { }
    public void onAnimationRepeat(Animation paramAnimation) { }
    public void onAnimationEnd(Animation paramAnimation) { 
        // without the post method, the main UI crashes if the view is removed 
        parentView.post(new Runnable() {
            public void run() {
                // it works without the runOnUiThread, but all UI updates must 
                // be done on the UI thread
                activity.runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
                    public void run() {
                        parentView.removeView(view);
                    }
                });
            }
        });
    }
});

view.setVisibility(visibility());
view.startAnimation(animation);

When using AnimationUtils.loadAnimation view.clearAnimation() solved my problem
