Answer 1

Using AlphaAnimation should work; verified on my device.

public class Test extends Activity implements OnClickListener {

    private AlphaAnimation alphaDown;
    private AlphaAnimation alphaUp;
    private Button b1;
    private Button b2;

    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.main);
        LinearLayout ll = (LinearLayout) findViewById(R.id.linear_layout);

        b1 = new Button(this);
        b1.setText("Button 1");
        b1.setOnClickListener(this);
        ll.addView(b1);

        b2 = new Button(this);
        b2.setText("Button 2");
        b2.setOnClickListener(this);
        ll.addView(b2);

        alphaDown = new AlphaAnimation(1.0f, 0.3f);
        alphaUp = new AlphaAnimation(0.3f, 1.0f);
        alphaDown.setDuration(1000);
        alphaUp.setDuration(1000);
        alphaDown.setFillAfter(true);
        alphaUp.setFillAfter(true);
    }

    public void onClick(View v) {
        if (v == b1) {
            b1.startAnimation(alphaUp);
            b2.startAnimation(alphaDown);
        } else {
            b1.startAnimation(alphaDown);
            b2.startAnimation(alphaUp);
        }
    }
}

The key is calling setFillAfter(true) so that the alpha change persists.
