How to blink image in ImageView (Android) [duplicate]

I am working on a wallpaper app in which I am displaying image with ImageView as a splash screen.

                            // startActivity(i);

                            AlertDialog alertDialog = new AlertDialog.Builder(
                                    SplashActivity.this).create();
                            alertDialog
                                    .setMessage("Please connect to the internet and try again");
                            alertDialog.setButton("OK",
                                    new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
                                        public void onClick(
                                                DialogInterface dialog,
                                                int which) {
                                            finish();
                                        }
                                    });
                            alertDialog.show();

                        }

                    }
                });

        // disable the cache for this request, so that it always fetches updated
        // json
        jsonObjReq.setShouldCache(false);

        // Making the request
        AppController.getInstance().addToRequestQueue(jsonObjReq);

    }

}

and this is BlinkActivity code:

import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.animation.Animation;
import android.view.animation.Animation.AnimationListener;
import android.view.animation.AnimationUtils;
import android.widget.ImageView;

public class BlinkActivity extends Activity implements AnimationListener {

    ImageView img;

    // Animation
    Animation animBlink;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_splash);

        img = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.splash_imageview);

        // load the animation
        animBlink = AnimationUtils.loadAnimation(getApplicationContext(),
                R.anim.blink);

        // set animation listener
        animBlink.setAnimationListener(this);

        // start the animation
        img.startAnimation(animBlink);

    }

    @Override
    public void onAnimationEnd(Animation animation) {
        // Take any action after completing the animation

        // check for blink animation
        if (animation == animBlink) {
        }

    }

    @Override
    public void onAnimationRepeat(Animation animation) {

    }

    @Override
    public void onAnimationStart(Animation animation) {

    }

}

But I'm not understanding how do I implement both together to make it work?

The following code snippet will blink the ImageView . Set the background of ImageView as Transparent.

    Animation animation = new AlphaAnimation(1, 0); //to change visibility from visible to invisible 
    animation.setDuration(1000); //1 second duration for each animation cycle 
    animation.setInterpolator(new LinearInterpolator()); 
    animation.setRepeatCount(Animation.INFINITE); //repeating indefinitely 
    animation.setRepeatMode(Animation.REVERSE); //animation will start from end point once ended.
    imageButton.startAnimation(animation); //to start animation
