Answer 1

Answer by kimkevin animates a View (be it an ImageView, TextView etc.) and not a background of a View. Which means if you want to just highlight any View, you'll have to add another View behind it (lets call it backgroundView) and animate that backgroundView.

Use the following code for animating background of a view

val startColor = view.solidColor
val endColor = ContextCompat.getColor(context, R.color.your_color)

val colorAnim = ObjectAnimator.ofInt(view, "backgroundColor", startColor, endColor, startColor)
colorAnim.duration = 2000
colorAnim.setEvaluator(ArgbEvaluator())
colorAnim.start()
