Making a smooth fade out for imageview in android

Question

I managed to make the imageView dissapear after 10 seconds(a tutorial image on my mainActivity). But i want to make a smooth fade out because like this it doesn`t look good,

Answer 1

take hint from this code snippet. The code required goes like this-

Animation fadeOut = new AlphaAnimation(1, 0);  // the 1, 0 here notifies that we want the opacity to go from opaque (1) to transparent (0)
fadeOut.setInterpolator(new AccelerateInterpolator());
fadeOut.setStartOffset(500); // Start fading out after 500 milli seconds
fadeOut.setDuration(1000); // Fadeout duration should be 1000 milli seconds

Now set this to an element say an image view -

myImageView.setAnimation(fadeOut);
