How to make count animation in TextView

Question

So in my game there is score tab that will show in gameover

This is example for my tab score

This is the code :

    highscoretext = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.bt);
    highscoretext.setText("0");

    currentscore = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.ct);
    currentscore.setText(String.valueOf(gamescore));

And this is how i save the score that will display in bestscore

           SharedPreferences pref = getSharedPreferences("SavedGame", MODE_PRIVATE);
           SharedPreferences.Editor editor = pref.edit();
           editor.putInt("totalScore", gamescore);

            if (gamescore > highscore){
                highscoretext.setText(String.valueOf(gamescore));
                editor.putInt("highscore", gamescore);
                editor.commit();

And i wonder to make an animation to my TextView like this

So when the tab score display, the score will count from 0 to Current score that get in the game, example : 10

and when score stop count, if the score > best score, the value in best score changed

Can anyone help me?

For API >11, i suggest you to use ValueAnimator:

ValueAnimator animator = new ValueAnimator();
animator.setObjectValues(0, count);// here you set the range, from 0 to "count" value
animator.addUpdateListener(new AnimatorUpdateListener() {
    public void onAnimationUpdate(ValueAnimator animation) {
     highscoretext.setText(String.valueOf(animation.getAnimatedValue()));
    }
});
animator.setDuration(1000); // here you set the duration of the anim
animator.start();

It should be fairly simple to implement using a timer of some sort. Every time the timer hits, you increment the score and update the display unless you've reached the final score.

This can be done using Handlers (http://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/Handler.html) or java.util.Timer (http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/util/Timer.html), though the latter approach may not be preferable for Android development.
