Question

How can i play animated gif image from URL in android? Should I use ImageView, WebView, VideoView

Answer 1

Just create a html string and load that into android webview. Tested solution.

http://developer.android.com/reference/android/webkit/WebView.html#loadData(java.lang.String, java.lang.String, java.lang.String)

 String x = "";

 webView.loadData(x, "text/html", "utf-8");
