Android Question animated gif

[clydebamford]

Im sure i had animated gifs working a while ago, but now ive tried everything without success!
Has anybody got this sorted? or can point me in the right direction?
sorry to be a bit short of detail but ive been going round in circles trying anything that looked remotly possible

To the best of my knowledge there is no native Android method to display animated GIF's (other than perhaps a Webview control with a local URI).

Informatix's AnimationPlus library (https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/lib-animationplus.21313/) can emulate an animated GIF (specifically the AnimationDrawable object) very well.

You will, however, need to use a 3rd-party utility such as Easy GIF Animator to export the individual frames of your GIF into individual image files.

Check my example of using sprites and GifDecoder library. https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/class-sprites.19152/

The code is from 2012 but I have just checked it and it runs well in b4a 5.5.

hmm, seems there is something skrewy with my genymotion setup or the way it runs on my notebook. Ive had to resort to my back up machine and GM wouldnt show any gifs, I know it worked fine on my other notebook(which blewup!) and it all works on a my actual Note2, so apart from trying to figure out why GM is playing up i Guess this one is solved! Many thanks to you guys for your input
