Displaying Animated Gif Using Animate Drawable Problems

I'm attempting to have my animated gif animate on loop with the following code but I'm not having any luck... JAVA ImageView img = (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.load_img); img.setBa

Solution 1:

Seems that I was experiencing the same problem, when I used whether it is setImageResource(R.drawable.load_animation) or setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.load_animation), the image wasn't displaying.

then I try to put the code in my XML view file, with android:background="@drawable/load_animation got the image showed, but still not animated, it was only displaying a static image.

then after googling around a while I found that AnimationDrawable can not work in onCreate we can either put it in onResume or onWindowsFocusChanged. So here I try with this:

publicvoidonWindowFocusChanged(boolean hasFocus) {
    loadingAnimation = (AnimationDrawable)
    findViewById(R.id.img_loading).getBackground();
    if (hasFocus) {
        loadingAnimation.start();
    } 
    else {
        loadingAnimation.stop();
    }
}

finally it works, the gif both showed and animated!

Solution 2:

Try calling setImageResource(R.drawable.load_animation), not setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.load_animation).

Solution 3:

i think you should use img.startxx(frameAnimation)
