A basic animation question

I want to have a cartoonish stork fly across my screen (slowly flapping his wings) and land on a post. I have an artist that can draw it for me and said it could be a gif file. I'm guessing that means it wo开发者_运维技巧uld be like a cartoon movie. Is this easy to put in my app or do I need to do something entirely different? My only experience with any graphics in android is displaying a picture using ImageView.

Thanks for any help.

Android does not deal with animated GIFs well. You apparently can play one back using VideoView, but I have not tried that. You can also set up an AnimationDrawable resource (an XML container for the frames of your animation).

This seems to do what you want:
