"Frame" animation..xml image animation

Postby kingcrowley » Tue Sep 01, 2009 9:03 pm

The animation does not show when it should!..have tried it in a much simpler program and the frame animation works.....weirdly when i press the home button and then when i long press the home button and go back to this app..i can see the animation then! could be me being stupid..or something silly...any ideas?

This code uses these two xml files

which shows the animation!

but..there always is a but

i want to show maybe 5-6 animations..depending on events..how would i
go about doing this? i have tried changing the
"imgView.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.frame_animation1);" in my
code at a later stage but it doesn't change the resource for me, is
this even possible?

Thanks,

Hi all...

I've experienced similar problems with frame based animations. I also need to display one set of frames or another depending on the situation.

My approach was to have one ImageView for each animation, set all the backgroundResource in onCreate and then, set all to invisible. When the situation requires it, the imageview is set to visible and the animation started but... doesn't work.

I tried to have them all visible, and fire the animation when required and that worked!!

If this can give any clue to somebody, please, reply here.

Thanks!

I presume you have all the ImageViews laid out so they are all on the screen at one time? This works fine, but makes everything very small obviously.

I was wondering if anyone has a workaround, alternative idea/method to do this?

Thanks,

When the images are on the screen and visible the animations sequence works fine but is not acceptable because the second step of the animation is visible while the first step is executing.

Trying to solve this situation, I set the second ImageView (which has the second step of the animation) to invisible and the animation doesn't work as the first imageview doesn't dissapear while the second one doesn't appear.

Any idea?
Thanks
