Animation Xml

first we put all the images set for the animation in drawable

Then we make a xml file of type animation (that goes in anim folder)

there we write something like this inside animation-list

<item android:drawable="@drawable/animation_00031" android:duration="30"></item>
<item android:drawable="@drawable/animation_00032" android:duration="30"></item>
<item android:drawable="@drawable/animation_00033" android:duration="30"></item>
<item android:drawable="@drawable/animation_00034" android:duration="30"></item>
<item android:drawable="@drawable/animation_00035" android:duration="30"></item>
<item android:drawable="@drawable/animation_00036" android:duration="30"></item>
<item android:drawable="@drawable/animation_00037" android:duration="30"></item>

 our main layout just has a imageview for which we will set our xml anil files

final ImageView iv= (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.imageView);

iv.setBackgroundResource(R.anim.frame_animation); 

to start animation just do

AnimationDrawable anim  = (AnimationDrawable) iv.getBackground();
anim.start();
