You can use viewflipper for this:

view_flipper.xml:

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent" >

<ViewFlipper
    android:id="@+id/viewflipper"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:autoStart="true"
    android:flipInterval="2000" >

    <ImageView
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:src="@drawable/picture1" />

    <ImageView
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:src="@drawable/picture2" />

    <ImageView
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:src="@drawable/picture3" />

    <ImageView
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:src="@drawable/picture4" />

    <ImageView
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:src="@drawable/picture5" />
</ViewFlipper>

</RelativeLayout>

Mention this xml file in onCreate of your mainActivity. Like:

public class MainActivity extends Activity {

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.view_flipper);
}

Thats it. After loading layout it will automatically start animating because we mention autoStart:true in xml.

You can use View flipper to slide your images and to do same automatically at some interval,use TimerTask along with View Flipper.

Inside TimerTask, use Viewflipper.showNext();

Have a look at this post.

Also have a look at startFlipping() and setFlipInterval() methods in ViewFlipper class
