Pausing animation on touch

Question

Hi guys I am new to Animation. I have an Animation spinning around and would like it to pause as I touch and hold the screen. I need it to pause so that when the touch is released it will resume from the same position. I can do the touch listener easily, but can't figure out a way to pause the animation.

I have read about using a separate thread and pausing it, but surely that isn't the correct/most common way of doing it?

Thanks always appreciate the help!

Try referring to this question here. It states that...

Animations do not have a pause method.
