How to blink image in ImageView (Android)

**Try this code **

image = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.image);
Animation animation = new AlphaAnimation((float) 0.5, 0); // Change alpha from fully visible to invisible
animation.setDuration(500); // duration - half a second
animation.setInterpolator(new LinearInterpolator()); // do not alter
                                                     // animation
                                                     // rate
animation.setRepeatCount(Animation.INFINITE); // Repeat animation
                                              // infinitely
animation.setRepeatMode(Animation.REVERSE); // Reverse animation at the
                                            // end so the button will
                                            // fade back in
image.startAnimation(animation);

The following code snippet will blink the ImageView . Set the background of ImageView as Transparent.

    Animation animation = new AlphaAnimation(1, 0); //to change visibility from visible to invisible 
    animation.setDuration(1000); //1 second duration for each animation cycle 
    animation.setInterpolator(new LinearInterpolator()); 
    animation.setRepeatCount(Animation.INFINITE); //repeating indefinitely 
    animation.setRepeatMode(Animation.REVERSE); //animation will start from end point once ended.
    imageButton.startAnimation(animation); //to start animation
