Show .gif with android.graphics.Movie

Question

I\'m trying, create a view with an animated GIF..

When i try run the follow code in emulator all works fine. But when i try run in real Smart Phone, nothing happens..

Answer 1

Loading an animated GIF seems tricky, but I would suggest to use a WebView as an alternative.

Do as follow to resolve the problem :

1. Copy your GIF in Android Assets.
2. Call webView.loadDataWithBaseURL("file:///android_asset/", "", "text/html", "utf-8", null);

I hope it helps !
