Load XML slowly

Can we load an XML file by slowly hiding the previous XM开发者_开发问答L? I want a splash screen effect.

You can do an AlphaAnimation. Either in your Java code or in your XML-file (recommended).

In your anim xml-file: do an AlphaAnimation like this:

(Name this for example, fadein.xml)

            android:fromAlpha="1.0"
            android:toAlpha="0.0"

and then create another anim xml-file like fadeout.xml:

            android:fromAlpha="0.0"
            android:toAlpha="1.0"

You can set an duration to slow down the animation.

            android:duration="500" //Time in milliseconds

You can also (only for Android 2.0 and higher) put an overridePendingTransition, to achieve a similiar effect.
