Android: Animated.View opacity does not animate from 1 when using the native driver #25318

Description

Hello

For some reason, it seems that an Animated.View does not animate opacity when the animated value starts from 1 when using the native driver. When using 1.1 or 0.9 (instead of exactly 1) - or when not using the native driver - the animation works fine.

Steps To Reproduce

  1. Have an animated value that goes from 1 to 0, as in the code below:
...
this.anim = new Animated.Value(1);
...
Animated.timing(this.anim, {
    duration: Constants.animation.duration,
    toValue: 0,
    useNativeDriver: true,
}).start();
  1. Use the animated value as the opacity of an Animated.View. Something like:
<Animated.View style={{ opacity: this.anim }}>
  <Text>{text}</Text>
</Animated.View>

I'd expect the Animated View to fade out when the animation runs, but no opacity change happens.

If a number larger or smaller than 1 is used, the animation works. Not reproducible on iOS.
