(android) view shall slide down and after a few seconds automatically slide up

Question

i simply can't find the solution for my problem. I hope anybody can help. For android I'm trying to slide down a view and after 3 seconds it has to slide up automatically.

The first time I start the method it's well! The view slides down and after a while it slides up again automatically.

The second time I start the method nothing happens. No view is shown! Not even the view slides down. (textView is a TextInputEditText)

    public void slideDown() {
        textView.animate().translationY(100).setStartDelay(350);
        textView.animate().translationY(0).setStartDelay(3000);
    }

    public void initAnimation() {
        ViewGroup.LayoutParams layoutParams = new ViewGroup.LayoutParams(ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
        textView.setLayoutParams(layoutParams);
        textView.setGravity(Gravity.CENTER);
        textView.setPadding(1000, 10, 1000, 10);
        textView.animate().translationY(100);
    }

I tried to orientate on this forum entry Slide Down & Slide Up

                0,                 // toXDelta
                0,                 // fromYDelta

        animate.setDuration(500);
        animate.setFillAfter(true);
        tvTitle.startAnimation(animate);
    }

    public void slideUp() {
        TranslateAnimation animate = new TranslateAnimation(
                0,                 // fromXDelta
                0,                 // toXDelta
                500,  // fromYDelta
                0);                // toYDelta
        animate.setDuration(1000);
        animate.setFillAfter(true);
        tvTitle.startAnimation(animate);
    }
}

Thx I did it this way:

public void slideDown() {
    textView.animate().translationY(100).setDuration(500);

    textView.postDelayed(new Runnable() {
        @Override
        public void run() {
            //Do something after 3000ms
            textView.animate().translationY(0).setDuration(300);
        }
    },3000);
}

(android) view shall slide down and after a few seconds automatically slide up
