This example demonstrates how to Set opacity for View in Android .

Step 1 − Create a new project in Android Studio, go to File ⇒ New Project and fill all required details to create a new project.

Step 2 − Add the following code to res/layout/activity_main.xml.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
   xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
   xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
   android:layout_width="match_parent"
   android:layout_height="match_parent"
   tools:context=".MainActivity">
   <TextView
      android:id="@+id/textView1"
      android:layout_width="fill_parent"
      android:layout_height="100dp"
      android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
      android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
      android:layout_marginTop="86dp"
      android:background="#011ffd"
      android:gravity="center"
      android:text="TextView"
      android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge" />
   <Button
      android:id="@+id/button1"
      android:layout_width="wrap_content"
      android:layout_height="wrap_content"
      android:layout_below="@+id/textView1"
      android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
      android:layout_marginTop="48dp"
      android:text="Click here to set view Alpha/Opacity of in android programmatically" />
</RelativeLayout>

Step 3 − Add the following code to src/MainActivity.java

package com.example.sample;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.animation.ObjectAnimator;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.TextView;
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
   TextView txt;
   Button btn;
   ObjectAnimator objectanimator;
   @Override
   protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
      super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
      setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
      txt = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.textView1);
      btn = (Button)findViewById(R.id.button1);
      objectanimator = ObjectAnimator.ofFloat(txt,"Opacity",0.6f);
      btn.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
         @Override
         public void onClick(View v) {
            objectanimator.setDuration(4000);
            objectanimator.start();
         }
      });
   }
}

Step 4 − Add the following code to Manifests/AndroidManifest.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
   package="com.example.sample">
   <application
      android:allowBackup="true"
      android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
      android:label="@string/app_name"
      android:roundIcon="@mipmap/ic_launcher_round"
      android:supportsRtl="true"
      android:theme="@style/AppTheme">
      <activity android:name=".MainActivity">
         <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
            <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
         </intent-filter>
      </activity>
   </application>
</manifest>

Let's try to run your application. I assume you have connected your actual Android Mobile device with your computer. To run the app from android studio, open one of your project's activity files and Click Run Icon from the toolbar. Select your mobile device as an option and then check your mobile device which will display your default screen –
