Frame By Frame Animation: Frame by frame animation is an animation in which sequence of images replaces on image view.
This animation supports on image view in android.

Problem: How to do same animation on google map location marker ?

Impediment: addMarker() method of GoogleMap can not replace icon on existing marker.

Solution: To resolve this we can use setIcon() method of Marker Class which allows to replace icon over existing marker.
Let’s have a look at the code snippet for animation.

Handler handler = new Handler();
public static int intMarkerNumber = 1;

public final int REPEAT_SECONDS = 91;
//33 images will replace in total 3 seconds on current location animation.

public void markerAnimation(final Marker marker) {

    handler.postDelayed(new Runnable() {
        public void run() {

            try {
                switch (intMarkerNumber) {

                    case 1:
                        marker.setIcon(BitmapDescriptorFactory.fromResource(R.drawable.anim_1));
                        ++intMarkerNumber;
                        break;
                    case 2:
                        marker.setIcon(BitmapDescriptorFactory.fromResource(R.drawable.anim_2));
                        ++intMarkerNumber;
                        break;
                    case 3:
                        marker.setIcon(BitmapDescriptorFactory.fromResource(R.drawable.anim_3));
                        ++intMarkerNumber;
                        break;
