Answer 1

//just start animation

searchArea = (TableLayout) findViewById(R.id.TableLayout1);
        SearchButton.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                if (check_tableView == 0) {


searchArea.startAnimation(Slide_up);
}
});

Answer 2

You just set animation listener outside of onClickListener. No need of setting each time View is clicked. Also make sure that you are calling searchArea.startAnimation(Slide_up) and searchArea.startAnimation(Slide_down) method. Call start animation method inside onClickListener.
