I'm trying to load an animated GIF in a JLabel.
While this works:
URL urlsd;
try {
urlsd = new URL("http://pscode.org/media/starzoom-thumb.gif");
ImageIcon imageIcon = new ImageIcon(urlsd);
JLabel progress = new JLabel(imageIcon);
progress.setBounds(5, 20, 66, 66);
contentPane.add(progress);
} catch (MalformedURLException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
This, on the other hand, does not, and I don't want to get the GIF from an URL, since I already have the GIF. Result of loading this shows only the first frame of the GIF:
try {
ImageIcon imageIcon = new ImageIcon(ImageIO.read(ClassLoader.getSystemResourceAsStream("res/images/progress_indicator.gif")));
JLabel progress = new JLabel(imageIcon);
imageIcon.setImageObserver(progress);
progress.setBounds(5, 20, 66, 66);
contentPane.add(progress);
} catch (MalformedURLException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
I guess there must be a reason for this, but I cannot find it.
Thanks! Alex
You can try loading your GIF file like that:
public class Test extends JPanel {
public Test() {
ImageIcon imageIcon =
new ImageIcon(Test.this.getClass().getResource("starzoom-thumb.gif"));
}
}
Or using Test.class.getResouce()
if your context is static.
