Question

I am trying to get a frame by frame animation to run on android 2.2 in a 2.2 vm machine using eclipse and i cannot for the life of me get it to run. It just sits there on the first frame of the animation.

Here is my activity code:

public class SpriteAnimationActivity extends Activity {
    /** Called when the activity is first created. */
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.main);  
        ImageView lView = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.imageView1);
        AnimationDrawable lAnimation = (AnimationDrawable)lView.getBackground();
        lAnimation.start();
    }
}

Here is my animation list xml file:

<?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/a1" android:duration="100" />
    <item android:drawable="@drawable/a2"   android:duration="100" />
    <item android:drawable="@drawable/a3"   android:duration="100" />    
</animation-list>

I am using the imageView widget on my main screen to display the image by setting the background. I tried to follow the guide here http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/graphics/drawable-animation.html but I can’t seem to get it to work
