Solution

  • Since you didn't share any code my answer is very high level too.

    You can use android.graphics.drawable.AnimatedImageDrawable (for API >= 28) and android.graphics.Movie (for API < 28).

    Both classes have a draw() method that draws on the given Canvas.

    Don't forget to call setBounds() in case you use the AnimatedImageDrawable.
