Applying two animations in the same animation xml file

Question

I would like to know if it is possible to apply one animation with two scale animations in the same xml file lets say I have

animation.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<set xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">

   <alpha
       android:fromAlpha = "1.0"
       android:toAlpha = "0.5"
       android:duration = "300">
   </alpha>
   <scale
       android:fromXScale = "1"
       android:toXScale = "1.3"
       android:fromYScale = "1"
       android:toYScale = "1.3"
       android:pivotX="50%"
       android:pivotY="50%"
       android:duration = "50">
   </scale>

   <scale
       android:fromXScale = "1"
       android:toXScale = "1.3"
       android:fromYScale = "1"
       android:toYScale = "1.3"
       android:pivotX="50%"
       android:pivotY="50%"
       android:duration = "50">
   </scale>

then apply this animation on an ImageView in a way so it does animation 1 then animation 2?

instead of creating two seperate animations and adding an animation listener to my first animation to execute animation2 when one is finished...

Answer 1

Yes you can use:

 android:ordering="sequentially"

for the set so it animating sequentially. take a look at this for further information.
