I have a ImageButton with a drawable shape as the background. The shape has a solid android:color="someColor". I'm wondering how I could animate the color with a breathing/puslating effect so that it beckons the user to tap on the button? Anybody have ideas? I've look around on multiple stack overflow approaches, but they're quite dated and I couldn't translate the Java code presented to the proper Kotlin. Any help would be appreaciated!

Maybe an animated vector drawable? More on animations here

I will check that out. Thanks. Any other input from others?

First try to use Java and if everything will work, convert to Kotlin using auth converter, if you have any questions how convert particular code to Kotlin post it in #general or #getting-started

You can use an alpha transition, to modulate the color of a View (and change its transparency)...then if you add an interpolator to that (which changes the way the animation happens), and adjust the timing, you can get pretty far.
