Android Tutorial => Add transition or Cross-fade between two images.

Example

Step 1: Create a transition drawable in XML

Save this file transition.xml in res/drawable folder of your project.

<transition xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <item android:drawable="@drawable/image1"/>
    <item android:drawable="@drawable/image2"/>
</transition>

The image1 and image2 are the two images that we want to transition and they should be put in your res/drawable folder too.

Step 2: Add code for ImageView in your XML layout to display the above drawable.

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    tools:context=".MainActivity" >
    
    <ImageView
        android:id="@+id/image_view"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:src="@drawable/image1"/>

</LinearLayout>

Step 3: Access the XML transition drawable in onCreate() method of your Activity and start transition in onClick() event.

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

    imageView = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.image_view);
    transitionDrawable = (TransitionDrawable)
        ContextCompat.getDrawable(this, R.drawable.transition);

    birdImageView.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(final View view) {
            birdImageView.setImageDrawable(transitionDrawable);
            transitionDrawable.startTransition(1000);
        }
    });
}
