android.View transparency

Question

Hello

I need to set initial transparency for a TextView but I don't know how to do it. On iPhone it can be done easily with alpha property. I've tried to set alpha using AlphaAnimation but no good it doesn't work. It just returns to 100% alpha when it ends.

  AlphaAnimation anim = new AlphaAnimation(1, 0.2f);
  anim.setDuration (5000);
  textView.startAnimation (anim);

Any ideas guys?

Answer 1

You can set the alpha channel directly in a color value that you assign to the TextView. See Available Resource Types.
