Gif animation pblm ??

[priya83]

In my appln..if i press connect option...the appln moves to background and a gif animation runs in the indicator pane..
i need to keep that gif animation runnning always...even if i need to open other applications like "services"
but it is getting hanged when i open any applications....
this is the code i wrote for gif animation....

In appui( ) class :

SendToBackground();
iGifAnimation = CGifAnimation::NewL(ClientRect());

In gifanimation ( ) class:
iMyWindowGroup = RWindowGroup(iCoeEnv->WsSession());
User::LeaveIfError(iMyWindowGroup.Construct((TUint32)&iMyWindowGroup));

iMyWindowGroup.SetOrdinalPosition(0, ECoeWinPriorityAlwaysAtFront);
iMyWindowGroup.EnableReceiptOfFocus(EFalse);
CreateWindowL(&iMyWindowGroup);
iViewer=CPAlbImageViewerBasic::NewL(this,TRect(TPoint(142,4),TSize(20,20)));
iViewer->SetImageNameAndDisplaymodeL(KGif,EColor4K);
iViewer->SetAnimationObserver(this,ETrue);

iViewer->LoadImageL();
if(iViewer->IsAnimation())
iViewer->PlayAnimationL();

CPAlbImageViewerBasic is deprecated in higher version of Symbian OS.
Try using CImageDecoder to decode the Image.

Also, try

CAknContextPane::SetPicture() for every frame given by CImageDecoder at proper intervals.

hi priya
try this

in ConstructL()
{
iGifFileDataprovider= new (ELeave) CICLAnimationDataProvider;
iGifFileDataprovider->SetFileL(iFsSession,_L("C:\\sun.gif"));

igifanimationconfig.iFlags = TAnimationConfig::ELoop;
igifanimationconfig.iData = 10000;
TPoint gifpoint = Position();
iGifAnimatior = CBasicAnimation::NewL(iGifFileDataprovider,gifpoint,CEikonEnv::Static()->WsSession(),Window());
iGifAnimatior->Start(igifanimationconfig);
}

and in draw()
{
iGifAnimatior->Draw(gc); }
