Clean way to implement gradual fading of brightness in Android?

Question

At the moment I have code to fade brightness adjustments which looks something like this:

new Thread() {
    public void run() {
        for (int i = initial; i          


        

Answer 1

From Honeycomb you can do things lie this using Property Animation. This post on the Android Developers blog talks about it all in some detail.

Answer 2

how about reducing the brightness to half in each iteration.

Then loop will complete in O(log n) rather than O(n) in current solution.
