How To Blink Image In Imageview (android)

I am working on a wallpaper app in which I am displaying image with ImageView as a splash screen. Now I want to blink ImageView image as a splash screen. This is my splash screen

Solution 1:

The following code snippet will blink the ImageView . Set the background of ImageView as Transparent.

Animationanimation=newAlphaAnimation(1, 0); //to change visibility from visible to invisible 
    animation.setDuration(1000); //1 second duration for each animation cycle 
    animation.setInterpolator(newLinearInterpolator()); 
    animation.setRepeatCount(Animation.INFINITE); //repeating indefinitely 
    animation.setRepeatMode(Animation.REVERSE); //animation will start from end point once ended.
    imageButton.startAnimation(animation); //to start animation

Solution 2:

**Try this code **

image = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.image);
Animationanimation=newAlphaAnimation((float) 0.5, 0); // Change alpha from fully visible to invisible
animation.setDuration(500); // duration - half a second
animation.setInterpolator(newLinearInterpolator()); // do not alter// animation// rate
animation.setRepeatCount(Animation.INFINITE); // Repeat animation// infinitely
animation.setRepeatMode(Animation.REVERSE); // Reverse animation at the// end so the button will// fade back in
image.startAnimation(animation);

Solution 3:

If you don't want to blink the background of an ImageView (only blink the source image) or you just don't want to write any of that code yourself - which is exactly what I was trying to avoid - then you'll have to create a custom View and do it internally. Sure, there is a workaround with a parent FrameLayout, but let's not create more hierarchy when there is no real need. :)

Anyway, I actually wrote a Blinker View because I was in need of such behavior, and you're free to use it from here: https://github.com/milosmns/blinking-image-view

Happy coding!
