Answer 1

You need AnimationDrawable with animation.

First step AnimationDrawable

-Create a file /res/anim/anim_android.xml

-Add a ImageView with android:src="@anim/anim_android".

Second step

-In your activity create AnimationDrawable and Animation

AnimationDrawable animationDrawable = (AnimationDrawable) imageView.getDrawable();
            animationDrawable.setOneShot(true);
            animationDrawable.start();

    Animation animation = AnimationUtils.loadAnimation(YourActivity.this, android.R.anim.fade_in);

    imageView.setAnimation(animation);
        animation.start();
        animation.setAnimationListener(new Animation.AnimationListener() {
          @Override
          public void onAnimationStart(Animation animation) {
          }
          @Override
          public void onAnimationEnd(Animation animation) {
              Animation fadeOut = AnimationUtils.loadAnimation(YourActivity.this, android.R.anim.fade_out);
              imageView.startAnimation(fadeOut);
          }
          @Override
          public void onAnimationRepeat(Animation animation) {
          }
});

you don't need Handler.
