Changing images in ImageView with every click

I'd appreciate it if someone could help me with my problem. I am trying to change开发者_开发问答 the image in an ImageView when someone clicks on it. I've put my images in an array and I am using a while loop to cycle once through all of them.

My problem is that while the first image (image8, not in the array) shows in the view all the other (after creating the OnClickListener) do not. Actually nothing happens and I am not sure where the mistake is. Thanks in advance.

This is the problematic code:

final int array[]=new int[5];
    array[0]= R.drawable.image6;
    array[1]= R.drawable.image4;
    array[2]= R.drawable.image9;
    array[3]= R.drawable.image4;
    array[4]= R.drawable.image5;

ImageView touchView = (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.imageview);

touchView.setOnTouchListener(new View.OnTouchListener()
{
    @Override
public boolean onTouch(View touchView, MotionEvent ev) {
    //get coordinates of touch event
        int x = (int)ev.getRawX();
        int y = (int)ev.getRawY();

---Code missing---

        ((ImageView)touchView).setImageResource(R.drawable.image8);

        touchView.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        int counter = 0;
        @Override
        //Image change on every click
        public void onClick(View touchView) {

            while(counter<5){
            ((ImageView) touchView).setImageResource(array[counter]);
                        counter++;

    });

You can't change images in a sequence like that and expect anything to show on the screen. You should use the click to start a separate thread that will do the image animation. See the description of the android.view.animation package. It sounds like the AnimationDrawable class will give you exactly what you want.

There is a special view for your case. ImageSwitcher is what you need. There is an example from android developers on how to use it. It should be trivial to adapt the example to your needs.
