POHow to make an animation-list show up on the screen

Body
copied!<p>I am looking at the documentation for <a href="http://developer.android.com/reference/android/graphics/drawable/AnimationDrawable.html" rel="nofollow">animation-list</a> and the XML layout is straight forward, but I am confused how they deal with it in the code.</p> <p>In that page they have something like:</p> <pre><code>ImageView img = (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.spinning_wheel_image); img.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.spin_animation); // Get the background, which has been compiled to an AnimationDrawable object. AnimationDrawable frameAnimation = (AnimationDrawable) img.getBackground(); // Start the animation (looped playback by default). frameAnimation.start(); </code></pre> <p>But they never reference spinning_wheel_image anywhere in the XML they show, nor the spin_animation ....the id for the spin snippet in their examples is "selected" </p> <p>So I am wondering where those two references come from? And why the actual id of the XML snippet which is "selected" is never used?</p> <p>Thanks!</p> <p>EDIT:</p> <p>I put my animations xml into a file called animation.xml</p> <p>And in the code now I have this:</p> <pre><code>ImageView img = (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.spinning_wheel_image); img.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.animation); // Get the background, which has been compiled to an AnimationDrawable object. AnimationDrawable frameAnimation = (AnimationDrawable) img.getBackground(); // Start the animation (looped playback by default). frameAnimation.start(); </code></pre>
