Android Question Image animation

[An Schi]

I want to create an animated picture book for my 3 year old daughter, but i don't know how to do the animation.
The animation i want should be very simple. See the picture on the bottom and imagine only one hand going up and down waving (i don't need events for pulling the string etc - this pic is just an example).
I searched the forum a bit, but the results weren't good (cause maybe i don't know the correct search terms). I think libgdx is an overkill for what i want. Would Game View be a good choice? Or should i photoshop 20 images of the hand up/down and loop them (with a timer)? Or is there something else or another library?

So, my question is: Where is my startpoint? Which technique should i use to achieve my goal?

Thx for answering!

Start with a simple series of images changes with a timer.

You can use imageviews for arms/legs and set the rotate pivot at joints; mixed with gesture lib, rotate the imageviews acordingly

Using a simple photo editor like photoshop elements, you can create an animated gif
starting from 3 or more images (eg. jpgs or bmps etc..)
The gif can be entirely parametered in the process (speed, endless loop, etc etc..)
Saves you the coding time
