You can display Gif in android without using any 3rd party libraries. This is how I did that.

Take a web view.

Most of the examples shows how to open a file from asset folder, but here I show you how to open it from a SD Card/memory.

    WebView webView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.imageWebView);
    String  data    = " ";
    // 'filePath' is the path of your .GIF file on SD card.
   webView.loadDataWithBaseURL("file:///android_asset/",data,"text/html","UTF-8",null);
