Display Animated GIF

Question

I want to display animated GIF images in my aplication. As I found out the hard way Android doesn\'t support animated GIF natively.

However it can display animations

Answer 1

i found a very easy way, with a nice and simple working example here

display animated widget

Before getting it working there are some chages to do do in the code

IN THE FOLLOWING

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState){    
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceStated);   
        setContentView(new MYGIFView());
    }    
}

just replace

setContentView(new MYGIFView());

in

setContentView(new MYGIFView(this));

AND IN

public GIFView(Context context) {
    super(context);

Provide your own gif animation file

    is = context.getResources().openRawResource(R.drawable.earth);
    movie = Movie.decodeStream(is);
}

REPLACE THE FIRST LINE IN

public MYGIFView(Context context) {

according to the name of the class...

after done this little changes it should work as for me...

hope this help
