Show a gif animation

Question

Ok so first let me say that I searched everywhere in the internet, even here, and I can't find the answer, so I have no code to show. I am just trying to make a gif animation in an app playing all the time, how can I do it, SurfaceView, Movie, what? Please explain me with sample code

PS As I said I searched EVERYWHERE! So PLEASE, if you are going to send me warnings or stuff, just delete my thread.....

Answer 1

I did it, instead of animation = (AnimationDrawable) img.getBackground(); it should've been animation = (AnimationDrawable) img.getDrawable();

the weird thing is that in the Android documentation in http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/graphics/drawable-animation.html the example was with getBackground...... anyone knows why?
