Question

I am working on apps in which i want to run two frame animation simultaneously but it is not working….
my code is as follow….

ImageView Background, planet, info;
AnimationDrawable infoview, backgroundview;
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState){
  super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
  setContentView(R.layout.main);
  Background = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.imageView1);
  planet = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.planet);
  //Background.setImageResource(R.drawable.friend_night_sky_31000);
  Log.w("debug", "planetanimation started");
  planetStart(R.drawable.earth, R.drawable.background);
  Log.w("debug", "planetanimation stoped");
  info = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.info);
  info.setImageResource(R.drawable.earthinfo);
  Log.w("DEBUG", "which is null:image " + infoview + "or" + backgroundview);
}

public void planetStart(final int pid, final int bid){
  Thread timer = new Thread(){
    @Override
    public void run(){
      try{
        //Thread.sleep(time);
      } catch (Exception e){

      } finally{
        Infoview.this.runOnUiThread(new Runnable(){
          public void run(){
            planet.setBackgroundResource(pid);
            infoview = (AnimationDrawable) planet.getBackground();
            infoview.start();
            Background.setBackgroundResource(bid);
            backgroundview = (AnimationDrawable) Background.getBackground();
            backgroundview.start();
            Log.w("DEBUG", "which is null:image " + infoview + "or" + backgroundview);
          }
        });
      }
    }
  };
  timer.start();
}

Answer 1

you have two solution either u can remove thread from the planetStart method or if u want to go with an exisiting code than give some value like Thread.sleep(1000); in thread sleep i have checked with this value and it works for me one more thing avoid second animation starting before the ending of first animation
