Repeat animation with new animated api

Question

React-native introduce new Animated API, I want to make a loop animation such as a bubble scale up then scale down and repeat that progress.

However I can n

Answer 1

I use the sequence method to pass an array of animations to cycle and then repeat the function.

//this.state.animatedStartValue = 0;

function cycleAnimation() {
  Animated.sequence([
    Animated.timing(this.state.animatedStartValue, {
      toValue: 1,
      duration: 500,
      delay: 1000
    }),
    Animated.timing(this.state.animatedStartValue, {
      toValue: 0,
      duration: 500
    })
  ]).start(() => {
    cycleAnimation();
  });
}

If I'm toggling that animation on it's own it will fade in/out, however I layer it on top of a base to mimic an active state or hotspot-style button
