I need to show frame-animation on an ImageView. I am using AnimationDrawable to play the animation on some click event. Its working fine if I show single animation. But based on the button clicked I need to show three different animations.When I'm playing the second animation OutOfMemoryError is thrown. As suggested by some other post on the same issue I am recycling the bitmaps after the animation is over. But in app, on clicking the same button again I need to show the same Animation. But as I am trying to use recycled bitmaps its not working..is there any work around for this problem???

Following form comments: You load too much data.

Assuming ARGB images:

width x height x images x colordept = bytes used
450 * 420 * 20 * 4 = 30240000.

That's 14 MiB when you load the full animation. This is guaranteed to blow up your ram.
