How to make text fade in and out in Android?

Question

I have a paragraph of text and when a button is clicked I want that text to fade out, change to some other text, then fade back in. I have some code but it doesn\'t do the fade

There is a better way to make the same effect.

You should configure the animation to repeat in the inverse mode.

Here is an example:

    final Animation out = new AlphaAnimation(1.0f, 0.0f);
    out.setRepeatCount(Animation.INFINITE);
    out.setRepeatMode(Animation.REVERSE);
    out.setDuration(3000);
    mSwitcher.startAnimation(out);
