Replace img.setVisibility(View.GONE) in your code with a call to fadeOutAndHideImage(img) which is defined like this:
private void fadeOutAndHideImage(final ImageView img)
{
Animation fadeOut = new AlphaAnimation(1, 0);
fadeOut.setInterpolator(new AccelerateInterpolator());
fadeOut.setDuration(1000);
fadeOut.setAnimationListener(new AnimationListener()
{
public void onAnimationEnd(Animation animation)
{
img.setVisibility(View.GONE);
}
public void onAnimationRepeat(Animation animation) {}
public void onAnimationStart(Animation animation) {}
});
img.startAnimation(fadeOut);
}
It will apply the fade out animation first, then will hide the image view.
