gif with Listview in Android

Question

I am new to Android. I Have Listview in My Activity and it's working Fine. But suddenly in mind one thought is going on. Is there any way to put gif animation in background of my Listview and display data to on gif Image. Let's say that In Our Listview we Have set background color as follow.

android:background="@color/Mycolor

so it can change the whole Listview color But I want to

display gif Animation Like small Image of Birds are flying in Background

. If it is possible then give suggestion.

Any Help will be Appreciated.

Yes I think keep gif as backgroud. Then overlay your listview on it giving it a transparent color. It will work:) — , Feb 20 '16 at 07:50

I think this is the way you can set,first you need to divide gif animation in indvidual frame,then you need to create one xml for background and use animation-list and add all the frames of gif image and set that xml as background

<animation-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:oneshot="false" >

    <item
        android:drawable="@drawable/frame1"
        android:duration="1000"/>

    <item
        android:drawable="@drawable/frame2"
        android:duration="1000"/>

    <item
        android:drawable="@drawable/frame3"
        android:duration="1000"/>



    ....

</animation-list>

If I Use more then 10 drawable it's hang sometime. – Harshad Feb 20 '16 at 12:10
if possible make your frames in less than 10 and try – Aditya Vyas-Lakhan Feb 20 '16 at 12:11
Then animation can't smooth it's look like skipped 2 or 3 frame and then again start. – Harshad Feb 20 '16 at 12:18
you can set background either with image or xml..if you add image directly it wil not work,,and xml i gave idea..i suggest use video view – Aditya Vyas-Lakhan Feb 20 '16 at 12:38
