Question

I want to be able to do a text animation and change the size of the text in a TextView. I read that there are property animations in android but if someone knows a simple code that can do this for me or an example somewhere I will deeply appreciate it. Thank u in advance!

Answer 1

scale.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<set
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <scale
          android:fromXScale="1.0"
          android:fromYScale="1.0"
          android:toXScale="2.0"
          android:toYScale="2.0"
          android:duration="3000"></scale>
</set>

A function into an Activity:

private void RunAnimation() 
{
    Animation a = AnimationUtils.loadAnimation(this, R.anim.scale);
    a.reset();
    TextView tv = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.firstTextView);
    tv.clearAnimation();
    tv.startAnimation(a);
}
