GIF Image display using WebView

Question

Can someone please provide a code to display GIF images in a webview ( I\'m already able to display the same using frame animation of png images) Now I want a way to display

Answer 1

Try this..

WebView wv = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webView1);
wv.loadUrl("file:///android_asset/anim5.gif");

Simply call your GIF image from assets like this..

Answer 2

This is the best solution for GIF in Android :

Insert the following dependency to build.gradle file of your project.

dependencies {
    compile 'pl.droidsonroids.gif:android-gif-drawable:1.1.+'
}

then

The simplest way is to use GifImageView 

<pl.droidsonroids.gif.GifImageView
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:src="@drawable/src_anim"
    android:background="@drawable/bg_anim"
    />

If drawables declared by android:src and/or android:background are GIF files then they will be automatically recognized as GifDrawables and animated. If given drawable is not a GIF then mentioned Views work like plain ImageView and ImageButton.

Answer 4

Loads gif in a webview and fits it to the device screen without any HTML code...Try this code

mWebView = ((CustomWebView)mRootView.findViewById(R.id.webview));
mWebView.loadUrl("file:///android_asset/file.gif");
mWebView.getSettings().setLoadWithOverviewMode(true);
mWebView.getSettings().setUseWideViewPort(true);

Answer 5

Save your GIF file at Assets folder. Here "loading.gif" is the filename.

    WebView webView=new WebView();
    Content = webView;

    webView.Source = new HtmlWebViewSource
    {
        Html = $"<body\"><img src=\"loading.gif\"/></body>"
    };

Answer 6

You do not need any HTML code... Just use this line

webViewControl.LoadUrl("file://" + pathToTheGifFile);

It Works for Me.
