How to animate opacity in Xamarin.Forms

Question

I wonder how to Animate opacity of elements visible on screen. For example for Entry I got to this:

this.Animate("", d =>
{
   Debug.WriteLine("anim:" + d);
   Username.Opacity = (AnimationTime - d) / AnimationTime;
}, 0, AnimationTime);

but I wonder if there is easier way. Unfortunately Animate method is poorly documented.

Answer 1

Use the YourLabel.FadeTo() method. For example, if you define the opacity to 0 starting the app,

await MyLabel.FadeTo (1, 2000, Easing.Linear);

means : the animation (changing opacity here) will last for 2000 ms linearly passing from 0 to 1.
