Android Animation Alpha

Question

I've got animation:

<set xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"  
   android:interpolator="@android:anim/linear_interpolator">  
   <alpha  
       android:fromAlpha="0.2"  
       android:toAlpha="1.0"  
       android:duration="500"/>  
</set>

and ImageView:

<ImageView
    android:id="@+id/listViewIcon"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:src="@drawable/settings" 
    android:alpha="0.2"/>  

and code:

final Animation anim = AnimationUtils.loadAnimation(this, R.anim.alpha);
final ImageView iv = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.listViewIcon);
anim .setFillAfter(true);
iv.startAnimation(anim);

So at the beginning I have ImageView with alpha 0.2 and at the end I want to have ImageView with alpha 1. But it doesn't work like that - when animation starts more alpha is added and animation finish with alpha 0.2

What do I have to change to animate my image from 0.2 up to 1?

I've checked with different settings - I set android:alpha="1.0", fromAlpa="1.0", toAlpha="0.2" it works like I expected - from alpha 1 to 0.2. It looks like alpha from ImageView is multiplied by alpha from animation...

Answer 1

Try this

AlphaAnimation animation1 = new AlphaAnimation(0.2f, 1.0f);
animation1.setDuration(1000);
animation1.setStartOffset(5000);
animation1.setFillAfter(true);
iv.startAnimation(animation1);
