Android ImageView that handles Animated GIF images

Android Arsenal

In your build.gradle file:

dependencies {
 compile 'com.felipecsl:gifimageview:1.2.0'
}

In your Activity class:

@Override
protected void onCreate(final Bundle savedInstanceState) {
 super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
 gifView = new GifImageView(context);
 gifView.setBytes(bitmapData);
 setContentView(gifView);
}
@Override
protected void onStart() {
 super.onStart();
 gifView.startAnimation();
}
@Override
protected void onStop() {
 super.onStop();
 gifView.stopAnimation();
}

If you need to post-process the GIF frames, you can do that via GifImageView.setOnFrameAvailable(). You can see an example of that in the sample app included on the repository.

gifImageView.setOnFrameAvailable(new GifImageView.OnFrameAvailable() {
 @Override
 public Bitmap onFrameAvailable(Bitmap bitmap) {
 return blurFilter.blur(bitmap);
 }
});

Be sure to also check the demo project for a sample of usage!

• Doesn't yet handle GIFs with transparency. Transparent channel will probably appear as black. See Issue #11

• Check out the latest master to make sure the feature hasn't been implemented or the bug hasn't been fixed yet
• Check out the issue tracker to make sure someone already hasn't requested it and/or contributed it
• Fork the project
• Start a feature/bugfix branch
• Commit and push until you are happy with your contribution
• Make sure to add tests for it. This is important so I don't break it in a future version unintentionally.
