You need to start seeing this: View Animation

Here’s an example of how we can make a Blink Animation. That’s the kind of excitement that gets blinking to view.

Blink.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<set xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">

<alpha
    android:duration="700"
    android:fromAlpha="0.0"
    android:interpolator="@android:anim/accelerate_interpolator"
    android:repeatCount="infinite"
    android:repeatMode="reverse"
    android:toAlpha="1.0" />

</set>

All these tags (Duration, fromAlpha, interporlator, ...) are explained in the link I sent to you.

But in addition, the main tags for this kind of animation are these: Duration, fromAlpha, toAlpha.

  • Duration: sets the time the animation will update, i.e., the larger, slower the effect will be performed.

  • fromAlpha: is responsible for making the view invisible.

  • toAlpha: it will clear the view.

To apply animation to any view, do this:

yourImageView.setAnimation(AnimationUtils.loadAnimation(this, R.anim.blink)).

To pause the animation in progress, do this:

yourImageView.clearAnimation();

You can find more examples of animations on: API Demos
