Glide gif doesnt play

Question

I want to load a gif into an imageview, it is displayed but doesn't start playing. I use this code:

Glide.with(context)
             .load("https://media.giphy.com/media/7rj2ZgttvgomY/giphy.gif")
             .into(imageView)

I've also tried adding .asGif() but in that case image is not displayed at all. I'm using glide 3.8.0

Answer 1

In my case I had set the imageview dimensions to match_parent and specifying it in dp did it for me.

Not sure why exactly match_parent doesn't work in a dialog, playing GIFs, probably something to do with the scaling, if this is the case then using scaleType:fitXY should work too

Answer 2

try this.

Glide.with(context)
    .load(imageUrl)
    .asGif()
    .placeholder(R.drawable.loading2)
    .crossFade()
    .into(imageView);
