I have an imageView that I want to start as invisible. After a certain button is clicked, I want to animate the Image into view and then I want it to remain at alpha 1. How do I do that? So far no luck. If I set the alpha to 0 in xml, then I never see the image. If I don't set alpha in xml then the image is always visible, and when the button is clicked it animates from 0 to 1 alpha.
Here is my animation code.
AlphaAnimation animation1 = new AlphaAnimation(0.0f, 1.0f);
animation1.setDuration(1000);
animation1.setStartOffset(5000);
animation1.setFillAfter(true);
tokenBtn.startAnimation(animation1);
Try to make your ImageView invisible
in xml:
<ImageView
...
android:visibility="invisible"/>
Then, by adding an AnimationListener
, make it visible
in onAnimationStart
:
...
animation1.setFillAfter(true);
animation1.setAnimationListener(new AnimationListener() {
@Override
public void onAnimationStart(Animation animation) {
// pass it visible before starting the animation
tokenBtn.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
}
@Override
public void onAnimationRepeat(Animation animation) { }
@Override
public void onAnimationEnd(Animation animation) { }
});
// finally, start the animation
tokenBtn.startAnimation(animation1);
In MainActivity.java add
public void blink(View view) {
ImageView image = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.imageView);
Animation animation = AnimationUtils.loadAnimation(getApplicationContext(), R.anim.blink);
image.startAnimation(animation1);
}
Create file named blink.xml in res>anim folder and add this code
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<set xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<alpha android:fromAlpha="0.0"
android:toAlpha="1.0"
android:interpolator="@android:anim/accelerate_interpolator"
android:duration="--YOUR DURATION--"
android:repeatMode="reverse"
android:repeatCount="0"/>
</set>
And make sure that onClick function on button is named blink
You can simply set initial alpha to 0 then animate it through 1 with desired duration;
imageView.setAlpha(0);
imageView.animate()
.alpha(1)
.setDuration(200);
