In this tutorial you will learn how to create the animation splash screen in android. I have used
the translate and alpha animation.
Step 1-> create the anim folder on android resources folder and create the android xml file
(anim/alpha.xml) as following
1
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
2
<alpha
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
3
android:fromAlpha="0.0"
4
android:toAlpha="1.0"
5
android:duration="3000" />
6
Step 2-> create the android xml file under anim folder (anim/translate.xml) as following
1
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
2
<set
3
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
4
5
<translate
6
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:fromXDelta="0%"
7
android:toXDelta="0%"
8
android:fromYDelta="200%"
9
android:toYDelta="0%"
10
android:duration="2000"
11
android:zAdjustment="top" />
12
</set>

android:background="@drawable/radialback"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:id="@+id/lin_lay"
android:gravity="center"
android:orientation="vertical" >
