Here is the way to add animation on text view.
create "anim" folder inside res folder.
add text_anim.xml file in it and paste below code -
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<set xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:interpolator="@android:anim/linear_interpolator">
<scale
android:fromXScale="1.0"
android:toXScale="0.8"
android:fromYScale="1.0"
android:toYScale="1.2"
android:pivotX="50%"
android:pivotY="50%"
android:duration="100"
android:repeatCount="4"
android:repeatMode="reverse" />
</set>
now here in your activity class -
TextView tv = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.text);
Animation a = AnimationUtils.loadAnimation(context, R.anim.text_anim);;
tv.startAnimation(a);
Simple Enjoy this cool animation.
