[android-developers] Re: Run instructions at the end of six animations played together

Ok, I get your point, but my problem is both displaying and
calculating the result at the right time because in my game, you roll
dices to get an asset of points, to attack another player... So
depending on the state of the game, the instructions run after each
rolls are not always the same. so after each roll, I have to display
the sum and other informations depending on the state of the game and
maybe changing the state (I use the state design pattern).

For me, the best solution would be to make a single animation to
animate the six dices, but correct me if I'm wrong, it's impossible to
make each dice rotate on itself with a single animation.

Anyway, thank you for your time.
