This simple tutorial shows you how to give animation to list view row. There are plenty of animations i covered here. First create anim folder in res folder and create different  XML for  different animation.

List of Animation

  1. Fade IN:
    2. <alpha xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:duration="100"
    android:fromAlpha="0.0"
    android:interpolator="@android:anim/accelerate_interpolator"
    android:toAlpha="1.0" />

  2. Hyperspace Out:
    3. <set xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:shareInterpolator="false">
   <scale
      android:interpolator="@android:anim/accelerate_decelerate_interpolator"
      android:fromXScale="1.0"
      android:toXScale="1.4"
      android:fromYScale="1.0"
      android:toYScale="0.6"
      android:pivotX="50%"
      android:pivotY="50%"
      android:fillAfter="false"
      android:duration="700" />
   <set
      android:interpolator="@android:anim/accelerate_interpolator"
                android:startOffset="700">
      <scale
         android:fromXScale="1.4"
         android:toXScale="0.0"
              android:fromYScale="0.6"
          android:toYScale="0.0"
          android:pivotX="50%"
          android:pivotY="50%"
          android:duration="400" />
      <rotate
         android:fromDegrees="0"
         android:toDegrees="-45"
          android:toYScale="0.0"
          android:pivotX="50%"
          android:pivotY="50%"
          android:duration="400" />
   </set>
</set>

  3. Push Left In:
    4. <set xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
   <translate android:fromXDelta="100%p" android:toXDelta="0"
         android:duration="300"/>
   <alpha android:fromAlpha="0.0" android:toAlpha="1.0"
         android:duration="300" />
</set>

  4. Push Left Out:
    5. <set xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
   <translate android:fromXDelta="0" android:toXDelta="-100%p"
        android:duration="300"/>
   <alpha android:fromAlpha="1.0" android:toAlpha="0.0"
        android:duration="300" />
</set>

  5. Push Up In:
    6. <set xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
   <translate android:fromYDelta="100%p" android:toYDelta="0"
          android:duration="500"/>
   <alpha android:fromAlpha="0.0" android:toAlpha="1.0"
          android:duration="500" />
</set>

  6. Push Up Out:
    7. <set xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
   <translate android:fromYDelta="0" android:toYDelta="-100%p"
         android:duration="500"/>
   <alpha android:fromAlpha="1.0" android:toAlpha="0.0"
         android:duration="500" />
</set>

  7. Shake:
    8. <translate xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:fromXDelta="0" android:toXDelta="10"
android:duration="1000" android:interpolator="@anim/cycle" />

  8. Cycle:
    9. <cycleInterpolator xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:cycles="7" />

  9. Slide In Top:
    10. <set xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
    <translate
        android:duration="1000"
        android:fromYDelta="-100%p"
        android:toYDelta="1" />
</set>

  10. Slide Top to Bottom:
    11. <set xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:interpolator="@android:anim/accelerate_interpolator">
    <translate android:fromYDelta="-100%" android:toXDelta="0"
        android:duration="100" />
    <alpha android:fromAlpha="0.0" android:toAlpha="1.0"
        android:duration="50" />
</set>

  11. Wave Scale:
    12. <set xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:interpolator="@android:anim/accelerate_interpolator">
    <alpha
        android:fromAlpha="0.0"
        android:toAlpha="1.0"
        android:duration="100" />
    <scale
        android:fromXScale="0.5" android:toXScale="1.5"
        android:fromYScale="0.5" android:toYScale="1.5"
        android:pivotX="50%" android:pivotY="50%"
        android:duration="200" />
    <scale
        android:fromXScale="1.5" android:toXScale="1.0"
        android:fromYScale="1.5" android:toYScale="1.0"
        android:pivotX="50%" android:pivotY="50%"
        android:startOffset="200"
        android:duration="100" />
</set>

Create Main activity to create listview and give animation.

MainActivity :
