Multiple AnimationDrawables at the same time

Question

Is it possible to generate 2 animationdrawables at the same time?

I tried it with threads:

Thread t1 = new Thread(){
public void run(){
    runOnUiThread(new Runnable() { 
        public void run() 
        { 
animation1.start(); 
 }   

}};
Thread t2 = new Thread(){
public void run(){
   runOnUiThread(new Runnable() { 
        public void run() 
        { 
animation2.start(); 
 }   
}};

t1.start();
t2.start();

This doesn't work. I load the resources for the animation from a xml-file.

You call your code in onCreate() method and yes, it's wrong. If you check javaDoc for animationDrawable method start(), you will see you can't start in onCreate(), but you should call it in onWindowFocusChanged(boolean) method.
