Question

I have a layout with 2 buttons that each activates animation. On button click the layout with buttons disappearing and the animation starts. It works except one problem, I can`t activate the second animation after the first because memory problem. After one of the animations is played i have to somehow free memory so the second animation could load. How can I free the animation and delete all frames?

Here is my code:

public class BermadMain extends Activity {
public static final String TAG = "Bermad";

AnimationDrawable animation, animation2, animation3;
ImageView imageAnim;
RelativeLayout lay;

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.main);

   lay = (RelativeLayout) findViewById(R.id.rallay);


  imageAnim =  (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.imageView1);

    final Button refinery = (Button) findViewById(R.id.refinery);
    refinery.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {

            int i=85;
            animation = new AnimationDrawable();
            animation.addFrame(getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.ref1), i);
            animation.addFrame(getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.ref2), i);
            animation.addFrame(getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.ref3), i);
            animation.addFrame(getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.ref4), i);
            animation.addFrame(getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.ref5), i);
            animation.addFrame(getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.ref6), i);
            animation.addFrame(getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.ref7), i);
            animation.addFrame(getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.ref8), i);
            animation.addFrame(getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.ref9), i);
            animation.addFrame(getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.ref10), i);
            animation.addFrame(getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.ref11), i); 
            animation.addFrame(getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.ref12), i); 
            animation.addFrame(getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.ref13), i);

            imageAnim.setBackgroundDrawable(animation);
            imageAnim.post(new Refiney());
            lay.setVisibility(View.GONE);


        }
    });

    final Button oil = (Button) findViewById(R.id.oil);
    oil.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {

            int i=85;
            animation2 = new AnimationDrawable();
            animation2.addFrame(getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.oil1), i);
            animation2.addFrame(getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.oil2), i);
            animation2.addFrame(getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.oil3), i);
            animation2.addFrame(getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.oil4), i);
            animation2.addFrame(getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.oil5), i);
            animation2.addFrame(getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.oil6), i);
            animation2.addFrame(getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.oil7), i);
            animation2.addFrame(getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.oil8), i);
            animation2.addFrame(getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.oil9), i);
            animation2.addFrame(getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.oil10), i);
            animation2.addFrame(getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.oil11), i); 
            animation2.addFrame(getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.oil12), i); 
            animation2.addFrame(getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.oil13), i); 

            imageAnim.setBackgroundDrawable(animation2);
            imageAnim.post(new Oil());
            lay.setVisibility(View.GONE);

        }
    });


}

public void onBackPressed() {

    lay.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
    return;
}   

class Refiney implements Runnable {

    public void run() {
        animation.start();        
    }
}

class Oil implements Runnable {

    public void run() {
        animation2.start();        
    }
}


}

try to add largeHeap=true in your application tag of your manifest to know if it’s only a memory problem.
