How to use animated gif in Firemonkey?

Question

How can I use animated GIF in Firemonky. I can load the gif using Timage but it\'s not animating. I am using Delphi 10.2 tokyo.

Answer 1

Use TBitmapListAnimation.

1. Place TImage on Form
2. Place TBitmapListAnimation into TImage like on screenshot:
3. Set properties in TBitmapListAnimation
   AnimationBitmap - You can use online convertorsm that split gif into frames.

Set another properties: AnimationCount = 8, AnimationRowCount = 1, Enabled = True Duration in seconds, PropertyName = Bitmap.

P.s. How to create an animation bitmap from a list of images to use in TBitmapListAnimation? Download this app, here is also a topic.

Answer 3

Maybe a bit late, but found a simple solution on this page : http://www.raysoftware.cn/?p=559 Download the file http://www.raysoftware.cn/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/FMXGif.rar, uncompress, and take the file FMX.GifUtils out, and put in your the directory of your application

Put a image component on your form with name Image1

Put the file FMX.GifUtils in your use on top

Declare in your form in private :

FGifPlayer: TGifPlayer;

in the create of your form:

 FGifPlayer := TGifPlayer.Create(Self);
 FGifPlayer.Image := Image1;
 FGifPlayer.LoadFromFile('youfilename.gif');
 FGifPlayer.Play;

That's it;
