How to change the Alpha of an ImageView in android

Question

I have five ImageViews declared in the layout file. All of them have src attribute set to some image.

I want to give some effect something like changing the alpha value when you click on an image to the images.

Here is my code

 <ImageView
        android:id="@+id/imageViewNews"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_weight="1"
        android:adjustViewBounds="true"
        android:scaleType="fitXY"
        android:src="@drawable/news" />

    <ImageView
        android:id="@+id/imageViewBookmark"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_weight="1"
        android:adjustViewBounds="true"
        android:scaleType="fitXY"
        android:src="@drawable/bookmark" />

In XML use

android:alpha="" alpha between 0 to 1

In code use

imageView.setAlpha(int);

the simplest way is to use ViewCompat.setAlpha

  ViewCompat.setAlpha(imageViewInstace, alpha);

where alpha is a float between 0 and 1
