Two ways to display gif animation in Android Studio

method one:

1. gif image:

Copy the required .gif images to the drawable folder, as shown in the figure below.

2. Layout file:

Add the ImageView code snippet in the layout file as shown below.

<ImageView
        android:id="@+id/img_gif"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_marginLeft="85dp"
        android:layout_marginTop="15dp"
        android:scaleType="fitXY" />

3. Logic code:

Add a logic code segment in MainActivity as shown below.

ImageView img_gif = findViewById (R.id.img_gif);
    //如果系统版本为Android9.0以上,则利用新增的AnimatedImageDrawable显示GIF动画
    if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.P) {
    
    
        try {
    
    
            //利用Android9.0新增的ImageDecoder读取gif动画
            ImageDecoder.Source source = ImageDecoder.createSource (getResources (), R.drawable.test1);
            //从数据源中解码得到gif图形数据
            Drawable drawable = ImageDecoder.decodeDrawable (source);
            //设置图像视图的图形为gif图片
            img_gif.setImageDrawable (drawable);
            //如果是动画图形，则开始播放动画
            if (drawable instanceof Animatable) {
    
    
                Animatable animatable = (Animatable) img_gif.getDrawable ();
                animatable.start ();
            }
        } catch (Exception e) {
    
    
            e.printStackTrace ();
        }
    }

Method Two:

1. Import the jre package:

Copy the downloaded glide-3-6-0.jar to the app->libs folder in the Project view, and right-click to select Add As library to import the package, as shown in the figure below.
Download link of glide-3-6-0.jar: https://www.oschina.net/news/62060/glide-3-6-0

2. gif image:

Same as Step 1 of Method 1.

3. Layout file:

Same as Step 2 of Method 1.

4. Logic code:

Add a logic code segment in MainActivity as shown below.

ImageView img_gif= (ImageView) findViewById (R.id.img_gif);
Glide.with (this).load (R.drawable.test1).into (img_gif);

Summary: In comparison, the second method is better, only two lines of code can realize this function, but remember to import the jre package.
