Work with Gif Image

Question

Can I use a Gif image in Android anywhere? I used one example for this type of image. It is displayed as fixed only.

How can we use a Gif (moving) image? Is this possible in Android?

Does anyone lead me?

Answer 1

I played a gif like this ...

public class GIFDemo extends Activity { @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(new GIFView(this)); } private static class GIFView extends View{ Movie movie,movie1; InputStream is=null,is1=null; long moviestart; long moviestart1; public GIFView(Context context) { super(context); is=context.getResources().openRawResource(R.drawable.cartoon); is1=context.getResources().openRawResource(R.drawable.animated_gif); movie=Movie.decodeStream(is); movie1=Movie.decodeStream(is1); //BitmapFactory.Options opts = new BitmapFactory.Options(); //opts.inJustDecodeBounds = true; // this will request the bm // opts.inSampleSize = 10; //movie=Movie.decodeFile("C:\\cartoon.gif"); } @Override protected void onDraw(Canvas canvas) { canvas.drawColor(0xFFCCCCCC); super.onDraw(canvas); long now=android.os.SystemClock.uptimeMillis(); System.out.println("now="+now); if (moviestart == 0) { // first time moviestart = now; } if(moviestart1==0) { moviestart1=now; } System.out.println("\tmoviestart="+moviestart); int relTime = (int)((now - moviestart) % movie.duration()) ; int relTime1=(int)((now - moviestart1)% movie1.duration()); System.out.println("time="+relTime+"\treltime="+movie.duration()); movie.setTime(relTime); movie1.setTime(relTime1); movie.draw(canvas,10,10); movie1.draw(canvas,10,100); this.invalidate(); } } }
