If you want multiple animations to occur simultaneously, you need to use an AnimationSet. In the above code, you set identityOverlayAnimationIn to be an AlphaAnimation, then replace it with a TranslateAnimation. With a TranslateAnimation, you frequently will want to use an animation listener, to get control when the animation completes. By default, a TranslateAnimation will "snap back" to the original position when done, but you can adjust settings on the animated View to change that (e.g., setVisibility(View.GONE)). > Than apply it to the RelativeLayout: > > theLayout.setAnimation(identityOverlayAnimationIn); > > Then run it like this: > > identityOverlayAnimationIn.start(); I tend to use theLayout.startAnimation(identityOverlayAnimationIn); > But it doesn't seem to work... Your TranslateAnimation has no duration, among other things. Visit: http://commonsware.com/AdvAndroid and download the source code to my Advanced Android book. You will find a couple of Animation sample projects. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://twitter.com/commonsguy Android App Developer Training: http://commonsware.com/training.html --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
