In this tutorial how to perform Fade In and Fade Out in Tween Animation in Android is shown.
Points to Remember:
- For creating the fade.xml file you will have to first create anim folder under res folder.
- At the time of creating fade.xml file you can either select ‘alpha’ or ‘set’ as Root Element.
- You can also perform fade in and fade out separately, for that you will have to create another file in anim folder, and don’t write the ‘android:startOffset’ property in this file else it will start the fade out after some delay.
