android imageview onClick animation

Question

I guess this is kind of an odd question but I have tried setting onClicklistener on an ImageView and it has worked. But the problem is that the user cannot sense the click. I mean if some of u have worked on other mobile environs(like Apple iPhone) then when we click on an Image in other environs then it gives an effect on the image so that the user can understand that the image has been clicked.

I have tried setting alpha using setalpha method but it doesn't work. Though the same thing is working fine on onFocusListener implementation. Can some1 suggest a different way to modify the image on click...

I am new to android so haven't learnt the nuances of simple animation also... if there is any simple animation I can use for the same then please let me know.

Thanks!

   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <set xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">  <alpha android:fromAlpha = "1.0" android:toAlpha = "0.5" android:duration = "300"> </alpha> <scale android:fromXScale = "1" android:toXScale = "0.9"  android:fromYScale = "1" android:toYScale = "0.9"  android:pivotX="50%" android:pivotY="50%"  android:duration = "50"> </scale> </set> 

I don't know if this is the correct method but defining an animation as mentioned did the trick. Now we just have to give

public void onClick(View v) { v.startAnimation(AnimationUtils.loadAnimation(Context, R.anim.image_click)); //Your other coding if present } 

in the OnClick method and the change will be visible...
