Running Animation and image switcher at same time

Question

I am trying to run the images from animation list after certain time,but I also have added the gallery at the top of the screen ,from where the user can select any image and it will be displayed,and I have created the thread which will keep starting the animation again and again after five seconds.My code is:

 int imgs[] =  
            {  
                R.drawable.mashad_one, 
                R.drawable.mashad_two, 
                R.drawable.mashad_three, 
                R.drawable.mashad_four,
                R.drawable.mashad_five,
                R.drawable.mashad_six,
                R.drawable.mashad_seven,
            };
     int i=0,flag=0;
    ImageSwitcher imgBus;
    AnimationDrawable animation; 
    Handler mHandler = new Handler();
    void func()
    {
         imgBus.setFactory(this);
    }


    @SuppressLint("NewApi") @Override
         protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
                super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
                this.getWindow().setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN,
                        WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN);

                setContentView(R.layout.dutyfree);
                ActionBar bar = getActionBar();
                bar.setBackgroundDrawable(new ColorDrawable(Color.parseColor("#FF6600")));  // Declare object of Utils class;
                Gallery gallery = (Gallery) findViewById(R.id.gallery1);
                gallery.setAdapter(new ImageAdapter(this));

                gallery.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {

                    public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> arg0, View arg1, int arg2,
                            long arg3) {

                        if(i==0)

                        {
                            i++;
                            func();
                        }

                        flag=1;
                        imgBus.setImageResource(imgs[arg2]);
                    }
                });

               imgBus = (ImageSwitcher) findViewById(R.id.imageSwitcher1);
             imgBus.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.anim);

                    imgBus.setInAnimation(AnimationUtils.loadAnimation(this,
                            android.R.anim.fade_in));

                            android.R.anim.fade_out));

                animation = (AnimationDrawable) imgBus.getBackground();


                animation.start();
                new Thread(new Runnable() {

                            } catch (Exception e) {

                            }
                        }
                    }
                }).start();

    public View makeView() {
        ImageView iView = new ImageView(this);
        iView.setScaleType(ImageView.ScaleType.FIT_CENTER);
        iView.setLayoutParams(new ImageSwitcher.LayoutParams
            (LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT,LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT));
        iView.setBackgroundColor(0xFF000000);
        return iView;
    }

}

The issue is when the activty starts animation start running and images keep changing,but once I press any of the image from gallery ,animation stops and it does not start again,,,,please help me find the problem.

Answer 1

I got the solution for my question ,I just used the reset function of the imageswitcher,and used it in the click method.

int imgs[] =  
        {  
            R.drawable.mashad_one, 
            R.drawable.mashad_two, 
            R.drawable.mashad_three, 
            R.drawable.mashad_four,
            R.drawable.mashad_five,
            R.drawable.mashad_six,
            R.drawable.mashad_seven,
        };
 int i=0,flag=0;
ImageSwitcher imgBus;
AnimationDrawable animation; 
Handler mHandler = new Handler();
void func()
{
     imgBus.setFactory(this);
}
