Animating weather radar tiles using mobile SDKs (iOS, Android)

Is there a way to animate a series of tiles (specifically weather radar tiles) via the Azure Maps mobile SDKs? There is an AnimatedTileLayer for JS but that adjusts the opacity of each layer, and I don't see a way to do that in the mobile SDKs.
Is this possible, or is there another way to do this?

    The mobile SDK's support changing the opacity of a tile layer. In Android: 

       TileLayer layer = new TileLayer(  
       tileUrl("https://tiles.openseamap.org/seamark/{z}/{x}/{y}.png"),  
       opacity(0.8f),  
       tileSize(256)  
   );  
     
   map.layers.add(layer, "labels");

    To update it: 

       layer.setOptions(opacity(0.2f))
