Show animated GIF

Question

How do you display an animated GIF in a Java application?

Answer 1

Using Swing you could simply use a JLabel:

public static void main(String[] args) throws MalformedURLException {     URL url = new URL("<url_to_animated_gif>");     Icon icon = new ImageIcon(url);     JLabel label = new JLabel(icon);       JFrame f = new JFrame("Animation");     f.getContentPane().add(label);     f.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);     f.pack();     f.setLocationRelativeTo(null);     f.setVisible(true); }
