how to add gif image in imageview in android?

Question

I followed the android developer site to add gif image in my application. But the image is not showing as animated, it shows like a normal image.

Animation in drawable

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<animation-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" 
android:oneshot="false">
<item android:drawable="@drawable/los01" android:duration="50" />
<item android:drawable="@drawable/los02" android:duration="50" />
</animation-list>

Coding

layout.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.bg);
                img.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.mylosanim);
                AnimationDrawable frameAnimation = (AnimationDrawable)  img.getBackground();
                frameAnimation.start();
                tv1.setText("Sorry!!!Play Again!!!");
                tv3.setText("Your Level-1 Score:"+Integer.toString(score));
                layout.setClickable(true);
                frameAnimation.stop();
