Android doesnot support GIF image simply you should use WebView or other thing to run gif image.
I use WebView to implement the GIF image .
First create a GIFView by extending webview.
public class GIFView extends WebView {
public static final String HTML_FORMAT = "<html><body style=\"text-align: center; vertical-align: right;background-color: transparent;\"><img src = \"%s\" /></body></html>";
public GIFView(Context context, String fileUrl) throws IOException {
super(context);
final String html = String.format(HTML_FORMAT, fileUrl);
setBackgroundColor(Color.TRANSPARENT);
loadDataWithBaseURL("", html, "text/html", "UTF-8", "");
}
}
Create your activity class here.
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
private WebView webView;
// private ProgressBar pd;
private LinearLayout llProgress;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
llProgress = (LinearLayout) findViewById(R.id.ll_progress);
try {
// give your gif image name here(example.gif).
GIFView gif = new GIFView(this,
"file:///android_asset/
example.gif");
llProgress.addView(gif);
} catch (IOException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
here is your activity_main file
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical"
tools:context=".MainActivity" >
<LinearLayout
android:id="@+id/ll_progress"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:orientation="horizontal" >
</LinearLayout>
</RelativeLayout>
