Try this way

    Movie movie;
    GifView(Context context) {
        super(context);
        movie = Movie.decodeStream(
                context.getResources().openRawResource(
                        R.drawable.some_gif));
    }
    @Override
    protected void onDraw(Canvas canvas) {   
        if (movie != null) {
            movie.setTime(
                (int) SystemClock.uptimeMillis() % movie.duration());
            movie.draw(canvas, 0, 0);
            invalidate();
        }
    }
