how to insert a movie clip into my game?

Question

im making an android game and i want to insert a movie clip (.flv) of exlosion into the game, how do i do that?

Answer 1

You don't. Android only supports the video formats specified here: http://developer.android.com/guide/appendix/media-formats.html

Convert the video to h.264 or mpeg-4 with a supported container, then play it with the builtin android mediaplayer and/or videoview classes.

Answer 2

Im not sure if you can use animated gif that is supported in froyo for the browser, but you can use several .png files to simulate the explotion instead a movie clip, you can see it in the JEtBoy sample game
