> I created widget with animated SVG for my projects. It starts after loading if signal svg->repaintNeeded() is connected to update() of my widget. To stop and restart it I found a hack - disconnect this signal and reload SVG image. In Windows and Linux this stops animation. Stupid but working. But now I use this widget for project on Andriod (using QML is not the way, QML is too weak and lame for me). But I cannot stop SVG animation on Android. It runs always. It does not depend from any connections, framerate, reloading, so on. Of course I can use another hack - to stop animation I can load non-animated image and to start I can load animated again.

Because you haven't done it
