Question

When I open droid I don’t want any buttons I just want a sequence of images to automatically show, each for a few seconds before it’s replaced with another image and once all the images are shown have it loop back to the first image. I am still new to droid development and I am obviously missing something. any help will be greatly appreciated.

my java file

public class Slidingpics2Activity extends Activity {

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

    ImageView image = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.treat);
    image.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.theanime);

    AnimationDrawable Anime = (AnimationDrawable) image.getBackground();
    Anime.start();

}

}

I put theanime.xml file in the drawable folder

 <?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/image1" android:duration="1000" />
    <item android:drawable="@drawable/image2" android:duration="1000" />
    <item android:drawable="@drawable/image3" android:duration="1000" />
    <item android:drawable="@drawable/image4" android:duration="1000" />
</animation-list>

after that I mad my layout main.xml looks like this

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >

<ImageView
        android:id="@+id/treat" 
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        />

</LinearLayout>

Sound what you need is a ViewFlipper:

Simple ViewAnimator that will animate between two or more views that
have been added to it. Only one child is shown at a time. If
requested, can automatically flip between each child at a regular
interval
