copied!<p>Gif is basically a set of images with a constant time delay in frames. You can not directly play gif in android. I've worked lot on playing gif animation in android.</p> <ul> <li><p>When playing gif we also handle all calls of playing frames by our self. So this is not a best approach</p></li> <li><p>If you have set of images just play them by a delay in frames. That would be the all you want.</p></li> <li><p>You can not make gif in application by native code as well. There are some drawbacks as well for using gif format. Which I had faced in my game.</p></li> <li><p>If you have set of drawables you can use <a href="http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/graphics/drawable-animation.html" rel="nofollow">AnimationDrawable</a> for showing aanimation like gif as well. It can also set the any View.</p></li> </ul> <p>I had also made a custom view to play gif animations. <strong>First I load gif and convert it into InputStream then I pass it to my custom view class to play the gif.</strong></p> <pre><code> public class GifWebView extends View { private Movie mMovie; InputStream mStream; long mMoviestart; private boolean play; public GifWebView(Context context, InputStream stream) { super(context); mStream = stream; setPlay(true); mMovie = Movie.decodeStream(mStream); } @Override protected void onDraw(Canvas canvas) { canvas.drawColor(Color.TRANSPARENT); super.onDraw(canvas); final long now = SystemClock.uptimeMillis(); if (mMoviestart == 0) { mMoviestart = now; } final int relTime = (int) ((now - mMoviestart) % mMovie.duration()); mMovie.setTime(relTime); mMovie.draw(canvas, 20, 20); if (play) { Log.i("reltime", "" + relTime + ",duration:" + mMovie.duration()); this.invalidate(); } } @Override public boolean onTouchEvent(android.view.MotionEvent event) { return true; }; public boolean isPlay() { return play; } </code></pre>
