= new Timer();
AnimatedImage ai = ..... // get the image
timer.schedule( ai, 200, 200 );

每隔大约200毫秒，timer调用AnimatedImage.run()方法一次，这个方法使得动画翻滚到下一个帧。现在我们需要的是让MIDlet
来试试显示动画！我们定义一个简单的Canvas类的子类，好让我们把动画“粘贴上去”。
import java.util.*;
import javax.microedition.lcdui.*;

// A canvas to which you can attach one or more
// animated images. When the canvas is painted,
// it cycles through the animated images and asks
// them to paint their current image.

public class AnimatedCanvas extends Canvas {;
private Display display;
private Image offscreen;
private Vector images = new Vector();

public AnimatedCanvas( Display display ){;
this.display = display;

// If the canvas is not double buffered by the
// system, do it ourselves...

if( !isDoubleBuffered() ){;
offscreen = Image.createImage( getWidth(),
getHeight() );
};
};

// Add an animated image to the list.

public void add( AnimatedImage image ){;
images.addElement( image );
};

// Paint the canvas by erasing the screen and then
// painting each animated image in turn. Double
// buffering is used to reduce flicker.

protected void paint( Graphics g ){;
Graphics saved = g;

if( offscreen != null ){;
g = offscreen.getGraphics();
};

g.setColor( 255, 255, 255 );
g.fillRect( 0, 0, getWidth(), getHeight() );

int n = images.size();
for( int i = 0; i < n; ++i ){;
AnimatedImage img = (AnimatedImage)
images.elementAt( i );
img.draw( g );
};

if( g != saved ){;
saved.drawImage( offscreen, 0, 0,
Graphics.LEFT | Graphics.TOP );
};
};
};
AnimatedCanvas 类的代码相当简单，由一个动画导入方法和一个paint方法。canvas画布每次被画，背景都会被擦除
然后循环每个导入的AnimatedImage对象，直接画到自己身上来（自己扩展了canvas类）。

七帧图片的动画，你可以看到一个拍着翅膀的小鸟。MIDlet显示了5只小鸟，小鸟的位置和刷新速度是随机的。
你可以用一些其他的办法来改进这个程序，但这个程序也应该足够能让你上手了。
