Using .gif file in android live wallpaper -

my question regarding post

is possible set animated gif file live wallpaper in android?

the method given in post not seem work. when put animated .gif file in /res/raw folder, there error says file cannot resolved or not field. there should know resources in raw folder or there other problem. following code.

belleengine() throws ioexception {

        inputstream = getresources().openrawresource(r.raw.ballerina);         if (is != null) {             try {                 mbelle = movie.decodestream(is);                 mbelleduration = mbelle.duration();             } {                 is.close();             }         } else {             throw new ioexception("unable open r.raw.belle");         } 

thanks in advance!

 /**      * method init suitable wallpaper according time.      */     private void initwallpaperaccordingtotime(inputstream inputstream) {          if (inputstream != null) {             try {                 wallpapergifstream = movie.decodestream(inputstream);                 if (wallpapergifstream != null) {                     duration = wallpapergifstream.duration();                 }             } catch (exception e) {                 e.printstacktrace();             } {                 try {                     inputstream.close();                 } catch (ioexception e) {                     e.printstacktrace();                 }             }         }      }

 initwallpaperaccordingtotime(getresources().openrawresource(              r.raw.android_apple));
