Is it possible to have the text within a label "blink" - display for 1 second, then clear 1 second, then display 1 second.............repeat until something.
I want this to be able to attract the users attention.
Sub Process_Globals
'These global variables will be declared once when the application starts.
'These variables can be accessed from all modules.
Dim t As Timer
End Sub
Sub Globals
'These global variables will be redeclared each time the activity is created.
'These variables can only be accessed from this module.
Private lblBlink As Label
End Sub
Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
'Do not forget to load the layout file created with the visual designer. For example:
Activity.LoadLayout("Layout1")
t.Initialize("Timer",1000)
End Sub
Sub Activity_Resume
t.Enabled = True
End Sub
Sub Activity_Pause (UserClosed As Boolean)
t.Enabled = False
End Sub
Sub Timer_Tick
If lblBlink.Visible Then
lblBlink.Visible = False
Else
lblBlink.Visible = True
End If
End Sub

There are all kinds of eye catching effects you can do without timers. You will see I used a pulsing yellow star to attract the users attention to a specific point on the screen although it could be any shape, color or animation.
you may even check if my lib dgTextEffects could be of any use for the case at hand. Nothing to write home about; just a way to use Android's own TextSwitcher component.
