android-Drawable Animation

Drawable animation lets you load a series of Drawable resources one after another to create an animation. This is a traditional animation in the sense that it is created with a sequence of different images, played in order, like a roll of film. The AnimationDrawable class is the basis for Drawable animations.

<animation-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"    android:oneshot="true">    <item android:drawable="@drawable/rocket_thrust1" android:duration="200" />    <item android:drawable="@drawable/rocket_thrust2" android:duration="200" />    <item android:drawable="@drawable/rocket_thrust3" android:duration="200" /></animation-list>

Here's an example Activity, in which the animation is added to anImageView and then animated when the screen is touched:

AnimationDrawable rocketAnimation;public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {  super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);  setContentView(R.layout.main);  ImageView rocketImage = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.rocket_image);  rocketImage.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.rocket_thrust);  rocketAnimation = (AnimationDrawable) rocketImage.getBackground();}public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent event) {  if (event.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN) {    rocketAnimation.start();    return true;  }  return super.onTouchEvent(event);}
