FasterAnimationsContainer

FasterAnimationsContainer will help you to avoid from OutOfMemoryError. Android loads all the drawables at once, so animation with many frames causes this error. This class loads & sets and releases an image on background thread.

Easy to implement

public class ExampleActivity extends Activity {
    FasterAnimationsContainer mFasterAnimationsContainer;
    private static final int[] IMAGE_RESOURCES = { R.drawable.anim_1,
            R.drawable.anim_2, R.drawable.anim_3, R.drawable.anim_4,
            R.drawable.anim_5, R.drawable.anim_6, R.drawable.anim_7,
            R.drawable.anim_8 };

    private static final int ANIMATION_INTERVAL = 500;// 500ms

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_example);
        ImageView imageView = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.imageview);
        mFasterAnimationsContainer = FasterAnimationsContainer
                .getInstance(imageView);
        mFasterAnimationsContainer.addAllFrames(IMAGE_RESOURCES,
                ANIMATION_INTERVAL);
        mFasterAnimationsContainer.start();
    }

    @Override
    protected void onDestroy() {
        super.onDestroy();
        mFasterAnimationsContainer.stop();
    }
}
