Impossible to say without the code. You do not need to refresh Hildonapp 
or Hildonappview, only the image, and you must do this after you have 
entered the main loop in your program, for example by using a timeout.

It sounds like you're trying to animate your image. Take a look at the 
gtk_image_new_from_animation, gdk_pixbuf_simple_anim_new and 
gdk_pixbuf_simple_anim_add_frame functions. They should do what you want.
