I was following the Google provided example of how to use AnimationDrawable with an ImageView. You can find it here: http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/graphics/drawable-animation.html

 image.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.run_animation);

        frameAnimation = (AnimationDrawable) image.getDrawable();
        frameAnimation.start();

drawable file run_animation:

<?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/iv1"
        android:duration="500" />

    <item
        android:drawable="@drawable/iv2"
        android:duration="500" />
    <item
        android:drawable="@drawable/iv3"
        android:duration="500" />
    <item
        android:drawable="@drawable/iv4"
        android:duration="500" />

</animation-list>

Upon execution i am receciving this error on logcat

java.lang.ClassCastException: android.graphics.drawable.ColorDrawable cannot be cast to android.graphics.drawable.AnimationDrawable

You can see similar thread [here](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/27951712/android-animationdrawable-cast-error). As @TheOneX said in that thread try getDrawable() rather than getBackground() – Raghavendra Oct 17 '16 at 06:29
It is not working – kashyap Oct 17 '16 at 06:31
Did u try with getDrawable() than image.getBackground()? – Raghavendra Oct 17 '16 at 06:32
I tried that code & but it is not working for me – kashyap Oct 17 '16 at 06:33

Can u post ur updated code? – Raghavendra Oct 17 '16 at 06:44
Please share the code of R.drawable.run_animation. – Developer Oct 17 '16 at 06:44
i have added the updated code. – kashyap Oct 17 '16 at 06:52
I'm not sure, the first line just try with this: image.setImageDrawable(getResource().getDrawable(R.drawable.run_animation); – Raghavendra Oct 17 '16 at 06:53
i tried your code but i am receiving this error at frameAnimation = (AnimationDrawable) image.getDrawable(); – kashyap Oct 17 '16 at 06:57

Just for clarification you have this run_animation.xml file in drawable folder right? – Raghavendra Oct 17 '16 at 07:10
Can u try this one too: image.setBackgroundDrawable(getResource().getDrawable(R.drawable.‌run_animation)); frameAnimation = (AnimationDrawable) image.getBackground(); – Raghavendra Oct 17 '16 at 07:13
