Since there is no view for directly playing animated GIF pictures in Android, we can use the GifView control to realize the GIF picture display function.
The Jar package of GifView consists of four classes:
- GifAction.java is mainly used to monitor whether the GIF image is loaded successfully
- There are three members in GifFrame.java: the current picture, the delay, and the link to the next Frame.
- GifDecoder.java decoding thread class
- GifView.java is the core class, including the GifView constructor, and you can also set the image source, delay, drawing, etc.
How to use GifView

android:paddingTop=”4px” android:paddingLeft=”14px” android:enabled=”false” />
