public class AlphaAnimation
extends Animation

java.lang.Object
   ↳ android.view.animation.Animation
     ↳ android.view.animation.AlphaAnimation


An animation that controls the alpha level of an object. Useful for fading things in and out. This animation ends up changing the alpha property of a Transformation

AlphaAnimation

Added in API level 1
public AlphaAnimation (Context context, 
                AttributeSet attrs)

Constructor used when an AlphaAnimation is loaded from a resource.

Parameters
context Context: Application context to use

attrs AttributeSet: Attribute set from which to read values

AlphaAnimation

Added in API level 1
public AlphaAnimation (float fromAlpha, 
                float toAlpha)

Constructor to use when building an AlphaAnimation from code

Parameters
fromAlpha float: Starting alpha value for the animation, where 1.0 means fully opaque and 0.0 means fully transparent.

toAlpha float: Ending alpha value for the animation.

Public methods

willChangeBounds

Added in API level 1
public boolean willChangeBounds ()

Indicates whether or not this animation will affect the bounds of the animated view. For instance, a fade animation will not affect the bounds whereas a 200% scale animation will.

Returns
boolean true if this animation will change the view's bounds

willChangeTransformationMatrix

Added in API level 1
public boolean willChangeTransformationMatrix ()

Indicates whether or not this animation will affect the transformation matrix. For instance, a fade animation will not affect the matrix whereas a scale animation will.

Returns
boolean true if this animation will change the transformation matrix

Protected methods

applyTransformation

Added in API level 1
protected void applyTransformation (float interpolatedTime, 
                Transformation t)

Changes the alpha property of the supplied Transformation

Parameters
interpolatedTime float: The value of the normalized time (0.0 to 1.0) after it has been run through the interpolation function.

t Transformation: The Transformation object to fill in with the current transforms.
