Question

I am integrating giphy to my android app..

How can i play animated gif image from URL in android? Should I use ImageView, WebView, VideoView

Answer 1

I'd recommend using a third-party library like Glide that can support GIFs.

I made a quick example app for displaying a GIF from Giphy's API here.
