I am currently trying to take an animated gif image and use it as an android loading icon. In other words, I am trying to take a gif and use it when I am waiting for a different screen to load. I realize I am able to do this with a series of pictures, but is it possible to do it with just an individual gif image? I'm really not sure how to do this.Thanks!
Android: Sure, add your individual splash screen graphics. Just replace the included splash. gif files with your own image file. Make sure to use GIF format (animated or static).
Android devices have not had built-in animated GIF support, which causes GIFs to load slower on some Android phones than on other OS.
Graphics Interchange Format(GIF) pictures play a huge part in little picture movement. Actually Android doesn't provide any support for GIF animation in the image view, but displaying a GIF image in an android application is not an exhausting process.
Might not be exactly what you're looking for but you can definitely use an "image sequence" type of animation to as a loading screen.
