I had to do a lot of research because the details on how to do this don't seem to work with the newest build as is in the google documentation listed here (http://code.google.com/android/referenc ... wable.html).

splash_animation.xml


This would go somewhere in your code, like the onCreate function if you want it to fire off when your app starts





Anyway, I hope that helps someone, I was having a hell of a time finding a good way to get it to work...

Thanks for sharing!

it crashes on the:



it says: "The application () has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again." with a button for Force Close

anyone know why?

thanks

ok, checking my LogCat, it says there is a runtime uncaught null pointer exception at the line:



but I don't know why, because the animation.xml file is in my drawable folder, there are no red squiggly lines any where, it compiles no problem.

ok, i guess the problem is that onDraw gets called before onCreate? so if i put a


then it doesn't crash

but, I don't see anything, I used:



to draw the imageview in the doDraw() method, but I don't see anything, how do you make it show up on the canvas?

can anyone tell me how to continously repeat a event after a certain peroid of time ???

I am having a problem animating child view rows of my list. When I animate the child view list I have a repopulation conflict with each other. I get a crash with a nullpointer exception in the getView method of my list adapter. Already tried repopulating the list in the onAnimationEnd method in an animation listener. When I kill the animation my http request works fine any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

I too have gotten a null pointer exception, but I fixed it as follows.You need to call setContentView before calling findViewById because setContentView will create the views, so that when you call findViewById, you'll get a reference to an existing object (imageView). So, before you follow FreeKill's code, call setContentView(R.layout.main), where main is an xml file that contains a layout and an imageview that is to host your animation.
I don't understand why you have to go through TimerTask, as done by FreeKill, to get it to work though. I also tried the Google's example, but it only showed the first frame. Can anyone explain this?
Thanks

Hey, I got it to work just fine,
however, the animation is displayed on the top left (0,0) side of the screen,
how can I change the position of the ImageView position on the screen?
I would like to move the animation to the middle of the screen

Hi
Shanytc,

If u want the image animation in center u can use like this...

no, no and again no!

AnimationDrawable animates by itself, you dont have to use any Timer nor TimerTask.

just do in onCreate:

view.setBackgroundResource(animId)

and later when view is *visible* (not in onCreate):

AnimationDrawable ad = (AnimationDrawable) view.getBackground()

ad.start()

thats it
