Answer 1

Yes, you can Add Gif Image for the Splash Screen. To use Gif Image in your View.

add this dependency to your build.gradle file in the app module.

For the latest version.

dependencies {
    compile 'pl.droidsonroids.gif:android-gif-drawable:1.2.10'
}

and In the XML file add this way

<pl.droidsonroids.gif.GifTextView
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:background="@drawable/yourgif_image"
    />

and add your Gif Image to Drawable.

Or

you can Create different Frame for Image and add it one after another in short interval of time.

Answer 2

use glide to solve this.

ImageView imageView = findViewById(R.id.splashScreen);
        GlideDrawableImageViewTarget splashScreen = new GlideDrawableImageViewTarget(imageView);
        Glide.with(this).load(R.raw.gif_men_at_work).into(splashScreen);
