    copied!<p>I want to create a background that covers the whole screen of my Activity. Just like:</p> <pre><code> android:background="@drawable/background" </code></pre> <p>But I want this background to be <code>animated</code> (60 frames), looping and target as many device resolutions as possible.</p> <p>I tried to do a <code>drawble</code> <code>.jpg</code> sequence, but the problem is that I use 1920x1080, and the logcat while trying to test it on the emulator, the application crashes, and LogCat gives me en error saying, <code>not enough memory</code></p> <p>Then I tried to import a <code>video</code> of my sequence and set it to play on the background. But I don't know where to put the <code>video</code> in my <code>res</code> folder and call it from there with <code>SetVideoPath()</code>, in order to play it.</p> <p>What is the best approach for an animated background, that covers multiple devices with different resolutions?</p> <p>@Arun C Thomas</p> <p>I still get an error in logcat,</p> <p>OutOfMemoryError</p> <p>my code is this:</p> <pre><code>package combiolab.biolab; import android.app.Activity; import android.graphics.drawable.AnimationDrawable; import android.opengl.GLSurfaceView; import android.opengl.GLSurfaceView.Renderer; import android.os.Bundle; import android.view.WindowManager; public class MainActivity extends Activity { private Renderer graphicsRenderer; //public static String gl; AnimationDrawable anim; @Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.activity_main); getWindow().setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN, WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN); getWindow().addFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_KEEP_SCREEN_ON); GLSurfaceView myGLSurfaceView = (GLSurfaceView) findViewById(R.id.gl); myGLSurfaceView.setEGLConfigChooser(true); myGLSurfaceView.setRenderer(graphicsRenderer); } &lt;RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:gravity="center" android:paddingBottom="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin" android:paddingLeft="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin" android:paddingRight="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin" android:paddingTop="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin" tools:context=".MainActivity" &gt; &lt;android.opengl.GLSurfaceView android:id="@+id/gl" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent"&gt; &lt;/android.opengl.GLSurfaceView&gt; &lt;/RelativeLayout&gt; </code></pre>
