Android: Animated gif [duplicate]

Question

I've got an animated gif which is a loading bar. The image displays but there is no animation, how would I get it to animate?

Answer 1

ImageView cannot display animated gifs directly. You have to decompose the animated gif into frames (separate gif files) and animate them using an AnimationDrawable.
