How to play animated GIF in TextView?

Question

I'm using TextView for displayng text with GIF images:

Html.ImageGetter imageGetter=new Html.ImageGetter imageGetter() {
    public Drawable getDrawable(String source) {
        return getDrawableFromSd(String source);
    }
}
mtTextView.setText(Html.fromHtml(text,imageGetter,null));

Some files are animated, but it doesn't animate when displaying in TextView. How to display it with animation?

Answer 1

You can use Glide to display gif rather than using WebView. its as simple as

Glide.with(context)
    .load(gifImageUrl)
    .asGif()
    .placeholder(R.drawable.loading)
    .crossFade()
    .into(imageView);
