Here is my solution. It uses AnimatorSet. AnimationSet library was too buggy to get working. This provides seamless and infinite transitions between fade in and out.
public static void setAlphaAnimation(View v) {
ObjectAnimator fadeOut = ObjectAnimator.ofFloat(v, "alpha", 1f, .3f);
fadeOut.setDuration(2000);
ObjectAnimator fadeIn = ObjectAnimator.ofFloat(v, "alpha", .3f, 1f);
fadeIn.setDuration(2000);
final AnimatorSet mAnimationSet = new AnimatorSet();
mAnimationSet.play(fadeIn).after(fadeOut);
mAnimationSet.addListener(new AnimatorListenerAdapter() {
@Override
public void onAnimationEnd(Animator animation) {
super.onAnimationEnd(animation);
mAnimationSet.start();
}
});
mAnimationSet.start();
}
