Android Question GIF animation

[thehe]

What kind of animation does Basic4android support.
I used gif animation but only static image display.
Please help!

If it's a game, then it's very likely that the game engine is used to play the animation.

Take a look at it, it is just a simple animated background (some rays).

Search the forum; there' s a library(or two) that shows/play gif files

I don't have enough time to try a game. Open the APK and see whether there's a GIF file in the assets.

... not to try a game, to see the video (you can see the gif I made from that video here).

We cannot know just by looking at the video. But Uno is a card game made by professionals so I can bet there's no GIF inside.

A question related to that one : when you download a file in the notification bar there is an animated arrow. Please do you know how they do that ?

Probably with an AnimationDrawable.

Just my two cents here....

When you say "animation" I envision a series of images of depicting a character walking, a horse galloping, a fire exploding, etc. For things like that then a true graphics solution (such as Informatix's LibGDX) is absolutely required -- trying to manually animate individual frames is not only cumbersome it takes a lot of processing overhead.

If your "animation" is just one static image rotating on a fixed point, shrinking, growing or moving across the screen then utilizing Informatix's AnimationPlus library (which I believe is an extension of Earl's original) is much simpler and provides outstanding results.

For what it's worth...

No need for libGDX. AnimationPlus can do it, GameView can do it, Accelerated Surface can do it, ...
