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...

Try this

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