Let’s start

Step 1: Open Visual Studio->New Project->Templates->Visual C#->Android->Blank App
Select Blank App. Then give Project Name and Project Location.

Step 2: Next go to Solution Explorer-> Project Name->Resources->drawable then Right Click to Add->New Item then open new Dialog box.

Step 3: That Dialog box to Select XML File and give Name for Animation.xml.

Step 4: Next open Solution Explorer-> Project Name->Resources->drawable->Animation.xml click to open Design View. Then give following code.

XML Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<animation-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
<item android:drawable="@drawable/img1" android:duration="100" />
<item android:drawable="@drawable/img2" android:duration="100" />
<item android:drawable="@drawable/img3" android:duration="100" />
</animation-list>

Step 5: Next open Solution Explorer-> Project Name->Resources->layout->Main.axml click to open Design View

Step 6: Select Toolbar Drag and Drop ImageView Design.

AXML Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:minWidth="25px"
android:minHeight="25px">
<ImageView
android:src="@android:drawable/ic_menu_gallery"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="@+id/imageView1" />
</LinearLayout>

Step 7: Next open MainActivity.cs page, then Add Namespace and following code.

Namespace: using Android.Graphics.Drawables;

C# Code:

using System;
using Android.App;
using Android.Content;
using Android.Runtime;
using Android.Views;
using Android.Widget;
using Android.OS;
using Android.Graphics.Drawables;
namespace Animation
{
[Activity(Label = "Animation", MainLauncher = true, Icon = "@drawable/icon")]
public class MainActivity : Activity
{
private AnimationDrawable Animation;
protected override void OnCreate(Bundle bundle)
{
base.OnCreate(bundle);
// Set our view from the "main" layout resource
SetContentView(Resource.Layout.Main);
// Load the animation from resources
Animation = (AnimationDrawable)Resources.GetDrawable(Resource.Drawable.animation);
ImageView imageView = FindViewById<ImageView>(Resource.Id.imageView1);
imageView.SetImageDrawable(Animation);
}
}
}

Step 8: Then Debug and run the app Working Animation Rotate in Image.

Finally, we have successfully created Xamarin Android AnimationDrawble Application.
