App crashes when I run AnimationSet - me sad

Question

So here's my crash report from LogCat (notice there are no references to my code):

And here is the Animation I'm running:

import android.view.View;
import android.view.animation.AccelerateInterpolator;
import android.view.animation.Animation;
import android.view.animation.AnimationSet;
import android.view.animation.Transformation;
import android.view.animation.TranslateAnimation;
import android.widget.LinearLayout;

public class DeleteAnim extends AnimationSet {

    public View v;
    int initialHeight;

    public DeleteAnim(View view) {
        super(false);
        v = view;
        initialHeight = view.getMeasuredHeight();

        this.setFillEnabled(true);

        TranslateAnimation anim1 = new TranslateAnimation(0F, 500F, 0F, 0F);
        anim1.setInterpolator(new AccelerateInterpolator(1.5F));
        anim1.setDuration(150);
        anim1.setFillAfter(true);

        this.addAnimation(anim1);


        Animation anim2 = new Animation() {

            @Override
            protected void applyTransformation(float interpolatedTime, Transformation t) {
                super.applyTransformation(interpolatedTime, t);

                v.getLayoutParams().height = Math.round(initialHeight * interpolatedTime);
                v.requestLayout();
            }
        };

        anim2.setStartOffset(150);
        anim2.setDuration(350);

        this.setFillAfter(true);

        this.setAnimationListener(new Animation.AnimationListener() {

            @Override
            public void onAnimationStart(Animation animation) {

            }

            @Override
            public void onAnimationEnd(Animation animation) {
                DeleteAnim anim = (DeleteAnim) animation;
                ((LinearLayout) anim.v.getParent()).removeView(anim.v);
            }

            @Override
            public void onAnimationRepeat(Animation animation) {

            }
        });
    }

    @Override
    protected void applyTransformation(float interpolatedTime, Transformation t) {
        if (interpolatedTime == 1) {
            v.setVisibility(View.GONE);
        } else {
            v.getLayoutParams().height = initialHeight - (int) (initialHeight * interpolatedTime);
            v.requestLayout();
        }
    }
}

I would love to know what's wrong here if anyone can help. Also I only tried running this in API 18 and it crashes once the animation starts.

Thanks in advance!

I'm guessing that it's because you're removing a View on the AnimationEnd call. Stick some logging in/and or obtain the Android source and step into that.
