How Can I Display Animated GIFs in Android?

Displaying Animated GIFs in Android

Despite the initial misconception that Android does not support animated GIFs, it actually has the capability to both decode and display them. This is achieved through the utilization of the android.graphics.Movie class, although this aspect is not extensively documented.

To break down an animated GIF and incorporate each frame as a drawable into an AnimationDrawable, the following steps can be taken:

  1. Decode the GIF with Movie class.
  2. Extract individual frames:

    • Each frame is a Bitmap, which can be retrieved using Movie.decodeFrame() and Bitmap.
  3. Convert each Bitmap to a Drawable:

    • Use BitmapDrawable to convert the Bitmap into a Drawable.
  4. Add the Drawable to AnimationDrawable.
