AnimationDrawable programmatically without animation-list xml

Question

I am in a situation where I want to display animation from dynamic list of images. I want to use AnimationDrawable for this purpose, but unfortunately I am stuck... :( my code is as

ImageView globe = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.globe);

AnimationDrawable animation = new AnimationDrawable();
animation.setOneShot(true);

Resources res = this.getResources();

while (from <= to) {
    String name = "globe_" + String.format("%03d", from);
    int globeId = res.getIdentifier(name, "drawable",
            this.getPackageName());
    animation.addFrame(res.getDrawable(globeId), 200);
    from++;
}

globe.setBackgroundDrawable(animation);
globe.post(new Runnable(){
        @Override
        public void run() {
            animation.start();
        }
});

Answer 1

I just did animation.start() after the loop and called the function from a runnable and it worked

while (from <= to) {
    String name = "globe_" + String.format("%03d", from);
    int globeId = res.getIdentifier(name, "drawable",
            this.getPackageName());

    animation.addFrame(res.getDrawable(globeId), 200);
    from++;
}

globe.setBackgroundDrawable(animation);

animation.start()

Answer 2

So Animation.addFrame(Drawable frame, int duration) takes a drawable which you can create from a Bitmap.

If your list of images are dynamically loaded:

List<Bitmap> images;
int duration = 200;    

for(Bitmap image: images){
    BitmapDrawable frame = new BitmapDrawable(image);
    animation.addFrame(frame, duration);
}

Try this out, should definitely work.
