Standart de-facto in game industry are image files with linked one-to one frames of animation.
So, what have android to work with it?

1. Creating animation from some files contained separated images. Ugly and painful way.
2. Using what?

In j2me i had well-formed set of classes for manage sets of frames and those intrinsic bounds inside frame
What android can offer me to replacing my set of classes?

I want to use something like Sprite.load("my_chain_of_frames.png") and then use Sprite.images[x] in code.

Thanx.

Hi,

Have you found a solution?

Thanks.

Yes, i have solution - i ported j2me classes to android. Unfortunally, they are
copyrighted so i cannot open they. But in next 3-4 weeks ill write new open
source classes implementation and spritemaker support tool.

There is another way, using Path's.



This way only the portion of the bitmap defined in "new RectF()" will be displayed, and you'd have to iterate it yourself somehow. I haven't gotten this solution exactly working, but currently it does display a different frame per "tick", but ihave not got the positioning right.
