Question

I have an app that is launched by clicking a link in a webpage.

No problem, that works fine.

However, the app main screen just sort of bumps away the browser. I’d like to add a little animation. Maybe it can fade-in or something. I have done tween animations on ImageView but not sure how to do it for the full layout screen. Any ideas?

i think you can simply use the AlphaAnimation , and apply it to the layout of your Activity like this , in the onCreate method :

super.onCreate(savedInstace);
this.setContentView(R.layout.main);
LinearLayout layout = (LinearLayout) findViewById(R.id.idLayout);
AlphaAnimation animation = new AlphaAnimation(0.0f , 1.0f ) ;
animation.setFillAfter(true);
animation.setDuration(1200);
//apply the animation ( fade In ) to your LAyout
layout.startAnimation(animation);
