How to create the delay of 1 sec before set the alpha of View?

Question

In My Application i am going to set the alpha after one animation. As like:

hideMenu = AnimationUtils.loadAnimation( getApplication(), R.anim.menu_layout_hide);
 menuLayout.startAnimation(hideMenu);
 menuLayout.setVisibility(View.GONE);

But i want to set the delay of 1 Sec before the Alpha set th the View. as Because of that i am not able to see the Animation of that layout. So How it is possibe ?

Thanks.

In your animation xml file you can use android:startOffset attribute:

android:startOffset int. The amount of milliseconds the animation delays after start() is called.

if you do not mind , not making sense postDelayed in animation because animation itself have setStartDelay method.Please do not take my word as offense but i tell you what i feel. – duggu Aug 30 '16 at 13:02

Can't you use the

android:startOffset int. The amount of milliseconds the animation delays after start() is called.

in your animation xml?

See the animation resource documentation.

Suppose you are using the view .animate() method, you can set the start offset:

view.animate().x(100)
              .setDuration(5000)
              .setStartDelay(1000);

Handler is a good technique to achieve this.

new Handler().postDelayed(new Runnable()
{
   @Override
   public void run()
   {
     view.startAnimation(animation);
   }
}, 1000);

In your case you can simply do like this

hideMenu = AnimationUtils.loadAnimation( getApplication(), R.anim.menu_layout_hide);

hideMenu.setStartOffset(1000);

 menuLayout.startAnimation(hideMenu);
 menuLayout.setVisibility(View.GONE);

In this case you can control dynamically value of the start time from the activity
