I want to display animated GIF images in my aplication. As I found out the hard way Android doesn\'t support animated GIF natively.
However it can display animations
Similar to what @Leonti said, but with a little more depth:
What I did to solve the same problem was open up GIMP, hide all layers except for one, export it as its own image, and then hide that layer and unhide the next one, etc., until I had individual resource files for each one. Then I could use them as frames in the AnimationDrawable XML file.
