Android Animation for hightlight

I am trying to learn how to do animation on Android. I want to use tween from my understanding via XML. I want to just highlight a text view, but I can't seem to find any simple examples that work, most seem to go for rotating. Anyone have an idea?

Also once I make the animation work does it block while the animation happens? Should I thread it if I am waiting for it to开发者_Go百科 finish to run another event? I haven't been able to figure this out from reading the documentation. My java threading is very rusty.

Thanks

Animations thread themselves. You won't be able to do this animation directly, because property animations are only available in Honeycomb. This animation is unnecessarily complicated because of the lack of animations. What you would have to do in order to accomplish this is to place the TextView in a FrameLayout. Create and LinearLayout with the highlight color you would like and Scale or Alpha animate that LinearLayout. If you would REALLY want to do this, I can show you.
