Animating button with object animator

I just want to animate my button.

I am getting:

W/PropertyValuesHolder: Method setAlpha() with type int not found on target class class android.support.v7.widget.AppCompatButton

Mainactivity.java:

    public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {

        ObjectAnimator objectAnimator;

        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
        ListView mListView= (ListView) findViewById(R.id.listView);
        Button button= (Button) findViewById(R.id.button);
        objectAnimator=ObjectAnimator.ofInt(button,"alpha",0,1).setDuration(1000);
        objectAnimator.setTarget(button);
        objectAnimator.start();


        adapter myAdapter = new adapter(this);
        AlphaInAnimationAdapter animationAdapter = new AlphaInAnimationAdapter(myAdapter);
        animationAdapter.setAbsListView(mListView);
        mListView.setAdapter(animationAdapter);
    }

activity_main.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout 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:paddingBottom="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
    android:paddingLeft="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
    android:paddingRight="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
    android:paddingTop="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
    tools:context="autogenie.mp.MainActivity">

    <ListView
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="300dp"
        android:id="@+id/listView"
        android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
        android:layout_alignParentEnd="true" />

    <Button
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="New Button"
        android:id="@+id/button"
        android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
        android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
        android:layout_marginTop="50dp" />
</RelativeLayout>

Why is it not animating?

What comes under property name parameter of method ofint() of objectanimator class?

The alpha property is of type float. You are trying to animate it with int values. The object animator tries to find a setAlpha(int) method in the View class and can't do it - hence the exception.

You either need to use ObjectAnimator.ofFloat() or the simpler button.animate().alpha() variant. I would personally recommend the second option - it's much cleaner and removed some boilerplate code.
