Set GIF on Background of button

is it possible to apply GIF on background of button.I have tried by the following code by taking the reference from this. And my code is below.
public class GIFView extends View {
Movie movie, movie1;
InputStream is = null, is1 = null;
long moviestart;
public GIFView(Context context) {
super(context);
is = context.getResources().openRawResource(+R.drawable.cloudinary_animation);// avoid error ( “Expected resource of type raw”)by +
movie = Movie.decodeStream(is);
}
#Override
protected void onDraw(Canvas canvas) {
canvas.drawColor(Color.WHITE);
super.onDraw(canvas);
long now = android.os.SystemClock.uptimeMillis();
System.out.println("now=" + now);
if (moviestart == 0) { // first time
moviestart = now;
}
System.out.println("\tmoviestart=" + moviestart);
int relTime = (int) ((now - moviestart) % movie.duration());
System.out.println("time=" + relTime + "\treltime=" + movie.duration());
movie.setTime(relTime);
movie.draw(canvas, this.getWidth() / 2 - 20, this.getHeight() / 2 - 40);
this.invalidate();
}
}
Now I want to apply this animation on the background of button.

I have implemented this in my application a day ago.Although this tutorial is >about ImageView you can easily convert the code to your advantage.
First of all, it depends on your desire.
1: Repeatedly continue to play the Gif (It is easy)
2: Play only once similar to Facebook app "Like" button (Some work is required)
Include this library to your gradle.build
compile 'pl.droidsonroids.gif:android-gif-drawable:1.2.8'
GifImageView gifImageView;
GifDrawable gifDrawable;
Define this variable:
gifImageView = findViewById(R.id.splashGif);
<pl.droidsonroids.gif.GifImageView
android:id="#+id/splashGif"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:background="#FFFDFF"
/>
To play the GIF
public void playGif() {
try {
gifDrawable = new GifDrawable(getActivity().getResources(), R.drawable.SplashGifId);
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
gifDrawable.setLoopCount(1);
gifDrawable.addAnimationListener(new AnimationListener() {
#Override
public void onAnimationCompleted(int loopNumber) {
gifImageView.setImageDrawable(ContextCompat.getDrawable(getActivity(), R.drawable.SplashLastFrame));
}
});
gifImageView.setImageDrawable(gifDrawable);
}
This method will play the gif R.drawable.SplashGifId after finishing process of GIF you will set the last frame (R.drawable.SplashLastFrame) of GIF to your button or ImageView.
To split your gif and get the last frame of your gif, you can use this online tool:
https://ezgif.com/split
Use this resources and inform me... Cheers!

How to blur imageview in android

I have an imageview and i set Image Resources programmatically like this:
int resourceId = getResources().getIdentifier("imagename", "drawable", "mypackage");
imgLock.setImageResource(resourceId);
Is there any easy way to show my ImageView with blurry image?

You can use glide transformations
https://github.com/wasabeef/glide-transformations
you can blur the image with one line of code
Glide.with(this).load(R.drawable.demo)
.bitmapTransform(new BlurTransformation(context))
.into((ImageView) findViewById(R.id.image));

import android.renderscript.Allocation;
import android.renderscript.Element;
import android.renderscript.RenderScript;
import android.renderscript.ScriptIntrinsicBlur;
Bitmap blurred = blurRenderScript(this,yourBitmap, 25);
//second parametre is radius
yourImageView.setImageBitmap(blurred);
#SuppressLint("NewApi")
public static Bitmap blurRenderScript(Context context,Bitmap smallBitmap, int radius) {
try {
smallBitmap = RGB565toARGB888(smallBitmap);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
Bitmap bitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(
smallBitmap.getWidth(), smallBitmap.getHeight(),
Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888);
RenderScript renderScript = RenderScript.create(context);
Allocation blurInput = Allocation.createFromBitmap(renderScript, smallBitmap);
Allocation blurOutput = Allocation.createFromBitmap(renderScript, bitmap);
ScriptIntrinsicBlur blur = ScriptIntrinsicBlur.create(renderScript,
Element.U8_4(renderScript));
blur.setInput(blurInput);
blur.setRadius(radius); // radius must be 0 < r <= 25
blur.forEach(blurOutput);
blurOutput.copyTo(bitmap);
renderScript.destroy();
return bitmap;
}
private static Bitmap RGB565toARGB888(Bitmap img) throws Exception {
int numPixels = img.getWidth() * img.getHeight();
int[] pixels = new int[numPixels];
//Get JPEG pixels. Each int is the color values for one pixel.
img.getPixels(pixels, 0, img.getWidth(), 0, 0, img.getWidth(), img.getHeight());
//Create a Bitmap of the appropriate format.
Bitmap result = Bitmap.createBitmap(img.getWidth(), img.getHeight(), Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888);
//Set RGB pixels.
result.setPixels(pixels, 0, result.getWidth(), 0, 0, result.getWidth(), result.getHeight());
return result;
}

There are many libraries are available you can use any of these.
I prefer Blurry library for it.
it is very simple and optimized.
dependency:

compile 'jp.wasabeef:blurry:4.x.x'
}
Functions
Blurry.with(context).radius(25).sampling(2).onto(rootView)
// from View
Blurry.with(context).capture(view).into(imageView)
// from Bitmap
Blurry.with(context).from(bitmap).into(imageView)

Color Filter
Asynchronous Support
Animation (Overlay Only)
Blurry.with(context)
.radius(10)
.sampling(8)
.color(Color.argb(66, 255, 255, 0))
.async()
.animate(500)
.onto(rootView);
Get a bitmap directly
// Sync
val bitmap = Blurry.with(this)
.radius(10)
.sampling(8)
.capture(findViewById(R.id.right_bottom)).get()
imageView.setImageDrawable(BitmapDrawable(resources, bitmap))
// Async
Blurry.with(this)
.radius(25)
.sampling(4)
.color(Color.argb(66, 255, 255, 0))
.capture(findViewById(R.id.left_bottom))
.getAsync {
imageView.setImageDrawable(BitmapDrawable(resources, it))
}

private Bitmap CreateBlurredImage (int radius)
{
// Load a clean bitmap and work from that
Bitmap originalBitmap=
BitmapFactory.DecodeResource(Resources,Resource.Drawable.dog_and_monkeys);
// Create another bitmap that will hold the results of the filter.
Bitmap blurredBitmap;
blurredBitmap = Bitmap.CreateBitmap (originalBitmap);
// Create the Renderscript instance that will do the work.
RenderScript rs = RenderScript.Create (this);
// Allocate memory for Renderscript to work with
Allocation input = Allocation.CreateFromBitmap (rs, originalBitmap, Allocation.MipmapControl.MipmapFull, AllocationUsage.Script);
Allocation output = Allocation.CreateTyped (rs, input.Type);
// Load up an instance of the specific script that we want to use.
ScriptIntrinsicBlur script = ScriptIntrinsicBlur.Create (rs, Element.U8_4 (rs));
script.SetInput (input);
// Set the blur radius
script.SetRadius (radius);
// Start the ScriptIntrinisicBlur
script.ForEach (output);
// Copy the output to the blurred bitmap
output.CopyTo (blurredBitmap);
return blurredBitmap;
}
protected override void OnCreate (Bundle bundle)
{
base.OnCreate (bundle);
SetContentView (Resource.Layout.Main);
_imageView = FindViewById<ImageView> (Resource.Id.originalImageView);
_seekbar = FindViewById<SeekBar> (Resource.Id.seekBar1);

Just simply use this library https://github.com/ChathuraHettiarachchi/BlurIM
, I was having problem with BlurTransformation class had errors thats why couldn't use Glide transformation but this works fine.
BlurImage.withContext(this)
.blurFromResource(R.drawable.YOUR_RESOURCE)
.into(imageView);

Originally answered here
Android 12 Preview 1 comes with built-in blur feature. We need not depend on external library now. Here is the code
imageView.setRenderEffect(
RenderEffect.createBlurEffect(
20.0f, 20.0f, SHADER_TITLE_MODE
)
)

You can use RenderScript to accomblish that as explained here or you can use the stackblur library to make a blurring effect in your image.
Usage of the stackblur library:
int resourceId = getResources().getIdentifier("imagename", "drawable", "mypackage");
// get bitmap from resource id
Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(), resourceId);
StackBlurManager stackBlurManager = new StackBlurManager(bitmap);
// process the image using a certain radius
stackBlurManager.process(progress*4);
// obtain the image and load it into an ImageView or any other component
imgLock.setImageBitmap(stackBlurManager.returnBlurredImage());

There's the library that can use RenderScript so a blurring is blazingly fast and super easy to use:
<ru.egslava.blurredview.BlurredImageView
...
android:src="#drawable/..."
app:radius="0.3"
app:keepOriginal="true"
app:downSampling="2" />

Add dependencies
compile 'jp.wasabeef:fresco-processors:2.1.0'
Use following code in layout file:
<com.facebook.drawee.view.SimpleDraweeView
android:id="#+id/imageView"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"/>
Use following code in your java file:
SimpleDraweeView imgView = (SimpleDraweeView) findViewById(R.id.imageView);
ImageRequest request = ImageRequestBuilder.newBuilderWithSource(uri)
.setPostprocessor(new IterativeBoxBlurPostProcessor(20))
.build();
DraweeController controller = Fresco.newDraweeControllerBuilder()
.setImageRequest(request)
.setOldController(imgView.getController())
.build();
imgView.setController(controller);

You can also blur an ImageView by using Coil library.
image.load("http://xxx.jpg") {
transformations(BlurTransformation(applicationContext,20f))
}

Late here but I got an error trying to use bitmaptransfrom directly after load. If you are facing the same, use:
Glide.with(mContext).load(drawable).apply(RequestOptions.bitmapTransform(new BlurTransformation())).into(imageView);

There are different ways to make view blur in android, But i found the easiest and fastest way to make views blur using Fresco library.
Add following dependency inside your build.gradle of your module.
compile 'jp.wasabeef:fresco-processors:2.1.0'
And inside onCreate() of Activity.
Fresco.initialize(this);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
SimpleDraweeView simpleDraweeView = (SimpleDraweeView) findViewById(R.id.sdv_image);
//INSTANTIATE BLUR POST PROCESSOR
Postprocessor postprocessor = new BlurPostprocessor(this, BLUR_PRECENTAGE);
//INSTATNTING IMAGE REQUEST USING POST PROCESSOR AS PARAMETER
ImageRequest imageRequest = ImageRequestBuilder.newBuilderWithSource(Uri.parse(IMAGE_URL))
.setPostprocessor(postprocessor)
.build();
//INSTANTATE CONTROLLOR()
PipelineDraweeController controller = (PipelineDraweeController) Fresco.newDraweeControllerBuilder()
.setImageRequest(imageRequest)
.setOldController(simpleDraweeView.getController())
.build();
//LOAD BLURRED IMAGE ON SimpleDraweeView(VIEW)
simpleDraweeView.setController(controller);
If you need complete implementation please visit this blog
Fastest Image Blur in Android Using Fresco.

This is simple method
set blur color with alpha
public class BlurImageView extends ImageView {
Paint rectPaint;
private int blurcolor=Color.parseColor("#aeffffff");
public BlurImageView(Context context) {
this(context, null);
}
public BlurImageView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
this(context, attrs, 0);
}
public BlurImageView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyleAttr) {
super(context, attrs, defStyleAttr);
rectPaint=new Paint();
rectPaint.setAntiAlias(true);
rectPaint.setStyle(Paint.Style.FILL);
rectPaint.setColor(blurcolor);
invalidate();
}
public void setBlurcolor(int blurcolor) {
this.blurcolor = blurcolor;
invalidate();
}
#Override
protected void onDraw(Canvas canvas) {
super.onDraw(canvas);
Log.i("BlurImageView","canvas");
canvas.drawRect(getLeft(),0,getRight(),getHeight(),rectPaint);
}
}

where do u save a gif file in android eclipse? [duplicate]

I want to display animated GIF images in my aplication.
As I found out the hard way Android doesn't support animated GIF natively.
However it can display animations using AnimationDrawable:
Develop > Guides > Images & Graphics > Drawables Overview
The example uses animation saved as frames in application resources but what I need is to display animated gif directly.
My plan is to break animated GIF to frames and add each frame as drawable to AnimationDrawable.
Does anyone know how to extract frames from animated GIF and convert each of them into Drawable?

Android actually can decode and display animated GIFs, using android.graphics.Movie class.
This is not too much documented, but is in SDK Reference. Moreover, it is used in Samples in ApiDemos in BitmapDecode example with some animated flag.

UPDATE:
Use glide:
dependencies {
implementation 'com.github.bumptech.glide:glide:4.9.0'
}
usage:
Glide.with(context).load(GIF_URI).into(new DrawableImageViewTarget(IMAGE_VIEW));
see docs

also put (main/assets/htmls/name.gif) [with this html adjust to the size]
<html style="margin: 0;">
<body style="margin: 0;">
<img src="name.gif" style="width: 100%; height: 100%" />
</body>
</html>
declare in your Xml for example like this (main/res/layout/name.xml): [you define the size, for example]
<WebView
android:layout_width="70dp"
android:layout_height="70dp"
android:id="#+id/webView"
android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal" />
in your Activity put the next code inside of onCreate
web = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webView);
web.setBackgroundColor(Color.TRANSPARENT); //for gif without background
web.loadUrl("file:///android_asset/htmls/name.html");
if you want load dynamically you have to load the webview with data:
// or "[path]/name.gif" (e.g: file:///android_asset/name.gif for resources in asset folder), and in loadDataWithBaseURL(), you don't need to set base URL, on the other hand, it's similar to loadData() method.
String gifName = "name.gif";
String yourData = "<html style=\"margin: 0;\">\n" +
" <body style=\"margin: 0;\">\n" +
" <img src=" + gifName + " style=\"width: 100%; height: 100%\" />\n" +
" </body>\n" +
" </html>";
// Important to add this attribute to webView to get resource from outside.
webView.getSettings().setAllowFileAccess(true);
// Notice: should use loadDataWithBaseURL. BaseUrl could be the base url such as the path to asset folder, or SDCard or any other path, where your images or the other media resides related to your html
webView.loadDataWithBaseURL("file:///android_asset/", yourData, "text/html", "utf-8", null);
// Or if you want to load image from SD card or where else, here is the idea.
String base = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getAbsolutePath().toString();
webView.loadDataWithBaseURL(base + '/', yourData, "text/html", "utf-8", null);
suggestion: is better load gif with static images for more information check https://developer.android.com/reference/android/graphics/drawable/AnimationDrawable.html
That's it, I hope you help.
Currently we can use Glide https://github.com/bumptech/glide

I solved the problem by splitting gif animations into frames before saving it to phone, so I would not have to deal with it in Android.
Then I download every frame onto phone, create Drawable from it and then create AnimationDrawable - very similar to example from my question

i found a very easy way, with a nice and simple working example here
display animated widget
Before getting it working there are some chages to do do in the code
IN THE FOLLOWING
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState){
super.onCreate(savedInstanceStated);
setContentView(new MYGIFView());
}
}
just replace
setContentView(new MYGIFView());
in
setContentView(new MYGIFView(this));
AND IN
public GIFView(Context context) {
super(context);
Provide your own gif animation file
is = context.getResources().openRawResource(R.drawable.earth);
movie = Movie.decodeStream(is);
}
REPLACE THE FIRST LINE IN
public MYGIFView(Context context) {
according to the name of the class...
after done this little changes it should work as for me...
hope this help

Glide 4.6
1. To Load gif
GlideApp.with(context)
.load(R.raw.gif) // or url
.into(imageview);
2. To get the file object
GlideApp.with(context)
.asGif()
.load(R.raw.gif) //or url
.into(new SimpleTarget<GifDrawable>() {
#Override
public void onResourceReady(#NonNull GifDrawable resource, #Nullable Transition<? super GifDrawable> transition) {
resource.start();
//resource.setLoopCount(1);
imageView.setImageDrawable(resource);
}
});

Ways to show animated GIF on Android:
Movie class. As mentioned above, it's fairly buggy.
WebView. It's very simple to use and usually works. But sometimes it starts to misbehave, and it's always on some obscure devices you don't have. Plus, you can’t use multiple instances in any kind of list views, because it does things to your memory. Still, you might consider it as a primary approach.
Custom code to decode gifs into bitmaps and show them as Drawable or ImageView. I'll mention two libraries:
https://github.com/koral--/android-gif-drawable - decoder is implemented in C, so it's very efficient.
https://code.google.com/p/giffiledecoder - decoder is implemented in Java, so it's easier to work with. Still reasonably efficient, even with large files.
You'll also find many libraries based on GifDecoder class. That's also a Java-based decoder, but it works by loading the entire file into memory, so it's only applicable to small files.

I had a really hard time to have animated gif working in Android. I only had following two working:
WebView
Ion
WebView works OK and really easy, but the problem is it makes the view loads slower and the app would be unresponsive for a second or so. I did not like that. So I have tried different approaches (DID NOT WORK):
ImageViewEx is deprecated!
picasso did not load animated gif
android-gif-drawable looks great, but it caused some wired NDK issues in my project. It caused my local NDK library stop working, and I was not able to fix it
I had some back and forth with Ion; Finally, I have it working, and it is really fast :-)
Ion.with(imgView)
.error(R.drawable.default_image)
.animateGif(AnimateGifMode.ANIMATE)
.load("file:///android_asset/animated.gif");

Glide
Image Loader Library for Android, recommended by Google.
Glide is quite similar to Picasso but this is much faster than Picasso.
Glide consumes less memory than Picasso.
What that Glide has but Picasso doesn't
An ability to load GIF Animation to a simple ImageView might be the most interesting feature of Glide. And yes, you can't do that with Picasso.
Some important links-
https://github.com/bumptech/glide
http://inthecheesefactory.com/blog/get-to-know-glide-recommended-by-google/en

Use ImageViewEx, a library that makes using a gif as easy as using an ImageView.

Try this, bellow code display gif file in progressbar
loading_activity.xml(in Layout folder)
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:id="#+id/container"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="#ffffff" >
<ProgressBar
android:id="#+id/progressBar"
style="?android:attr/progressBarStyleLarge"
android:layout_width="70dp"
android:layout_height="70dp"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:indeterminate="true"
android:indeterminateDrawable="#drawable/custom_loading"
android:visibility="gone" />
</RelativeLayout>
custom_loading.xml(in drawable folder)
here i put black_gif.gif(in drawable folder), you can put your own gif here
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<animated-rotate xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:drawable="#drawable/black_gif"
android:pivotX="50%"
android:pivotY="50%" />
LoadingActivity.java(in res folder)
public class LoadingActivity extends Activity {
ProgressBar bar;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_loading);
bar = (ProgressBar) findViewById(R.id.progressBar);
bar.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
}
}

Nobody has mentioned the Ion or Glide library. they work very well.
It's easier to handle compared to a WebView.

I have had success with the solution proposed within this article, a class called GifMovieView, which renders a View which can then be displayed or added to a specific ViewGroup. Check out the other methods presented in parts 2 and 3 of the specified article.
The only drawback to this method is that the antialiasing on the movie is not that good (must be a side-effect of using the "shady" Android Movie Class). You are then better off setting the background to a solid color within your animated GIF.

Some thoughts on the BitmapDecode example... Basically it uses the ancient, but rather featureless Movie class from android.graphics.
On recent API versions you need to turn off hardware acceleration, as described here. It was segfaulting for me otherwise.
<activity
android:hardwareAccelerated="false"
android:name="foo.GifActivity"
android:label="The state of computer animation 2014">
</activity>
Here is the BitmapDecode example shortened with only the GIF part. You have to make your own Widget (View) and draw it by yourself. Not quite as powerful as an ImageView.
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Context;
import android.graphics.*;
import android.os.*;
import android.view.View;
public class GifActivity extends Activity {
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(new GifView(this));
}
static class GifView extends View {
Movie movie;
GifView(Context context) {
super(context);
movie = Movie.decodeStream(
context.getResources().openRawResource(
R.drawable.some_gif));
}
#Override
protected void onDraw(Canvas canvas) {
if (movie != null) {
movie.setTime(
(int) SystemClock.uptimeMillis() % movie.duration());
movie.draw(canvas, 0, 0);
invalidate();
}
}
}
}
2 other methods, one with ImageView another with WebView can be found in this fine tutorial. The ImageView method uses the Apache licensed android-gifview from Google Code.

#PointerNull gave good solution, but it is not perfect. It doesn't work on some devices with big files and show buggy Gif animation with delta frames on pre ICS version.
I found solution without this bugs. It is library with native decoding to drawable: koral's android-gif-drawable.

For only android API (Android Pie)28 and + use AnimatedImageDrawable as
// ImageView from layout
val ima : ImageView = findViewById(R.id.img_gif)
// create AnimatedDrawable
val decodedAnimation = ImageDecoder.decodeDrawable(
// create ImageDecoder.Source object
ImageDecoder.createSource(resources, R.drawable.tenor))
// set the drawble as image source of ImageView
ima.setImageDrawable(decodedAnimation)
// play the animation
(decodedAnimation as? AnimatedImageDrawable)?.start()
XML code, add a ImageView
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/img_gif"
android:background="#drawable/ic_launcher_background" <!--Default background-->
app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintRight_toRightOf="parent"
android:layout_width="200dp"
android:layout_height="200dp" />
AnimatedImageDrawable is a child of Drawable and created by ImageDecoder.decodeDrawable
ImageDecoder.decodeDrawable which further required the instance of ImageDecoder.Source created by ImageDecoder.createSource.
ImageDecoder.createSource can only take source as a name, ByteBuffer, File, resourceId, URI, ContentResolver to create source object and uses it to create AnimatedImageDrawable as Drawable (polymorphic call)
static ImageDecoder.Source createSource(AssetManager assets, String fileName)
static ImageDecoder.Source createSource(ByteBuffer buffer)
static ImageDecoder.Source createSource(File file)
static ImageDecoder.Source createSource(Resources res, int resId)
static ImageDecoder.Source createSource(ContentResolver cr, Uri uri)
Note: You can also create Bitmap using ImageDecoder#decodeBitmap.
Output:
AnimatedDrawable also supports resizing, frame and color manipulation

Put it into a WebView, it has to be able to display it correctly, since the default browser supports gif files. (Froyo+, if i am not mistaken)

There are two options to load animated gifs into our Android apps
1)Using Glide to load the gif into an ImageView.
String urlGif = "https://cdn.dribbble.com/users/263558/screenshots/1337078/dvsd.gif";
//add Glide implementation into the build.gradle file.
ImageView imageView = (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.imageView);
Uri uri = Uri.parse(urlGif);
Glide.with(getApplicationContext()).load(uri).into(imageView);
2) Using an html to load the gif into a WebView
Create the html with the address to the .gif file:
<html style="margin: 0;">
<body style="margin: 0;">
<img src="https://..../myimage.gif" style="width: 100%; height: 100%" />
</body>
</html>
store this file into the assets directory:
The load this html into the WebView of your application:
WebView webView = (WebView)findViewById(R.id.webView);
webView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webView);
webView.loadUrl("file:///android_asset/html/webpage_gif.html");
Heres is a complete example of this two options.

I think the better library to handle gif files is this one: by koral
Used it and i'm successful and this library is dedicated to GIF'S; but where as the picasso and glide are general purpose image framework; so i think the developers of this library have entirely concentrated on gif files

Use fresco. Here's how to do it:
http://frescolib.org/docs/animations.html
Here's the repo with the sample:
https://github.com/facebook/fresco/tree/master/samples/animation
Beware fresco does not support wrap content!

Just wanted to add that the Movie class is now deprecated.
This class was deprecated in API level P.
It is recommended to use this
AnimatedImageDrawable
Drawable for drawing animated images (like GIF).

Similar to what #Leonti said, but with a little more depth:
What I did to solve the same problem was open up GIMP, hide all layers except for one, export it as its own image, and then hide that layer and unhide the next one, etc., until I had individual resource files for each one. Then I could use them as frames in the AnimationDrawable XML file.

Something I did for showing gifs in apps. I extended ImageView so people can use its attributes freely. It can show gifs from url or from the assets directory.
The library also makes it easy for extending classes to inherit from it and extend it to support different methods to initialize the gif.
https://github.com/Gavras/GIFView
There's a little guide on the github page.
It was also published on Android Arsenal:
https://android-arsenal.com/details/1/4947
Use example:
From XML:
<com.whygraphics.gifview.gif.GIFView xmlns:gif_view="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:id="#+id/main_activity_gif_vie"
android:layout_width="200dp"

In the activity:
GIFView mGifView = (GIFView) findViewById(R.id.main_activity_gif_vie);
mGifView.setOnSettingGifListener(new GIFView.OnSettingGifListener() {
#Override
public void onSuccess(GIFView view, Exception e) {
Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "onSuccess()", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
#Override
public void onFailure(GIFView view, Exception e) {
}
});
Setting the gif programmatically:
mGifView.setGifResource("asset:gif1");

Easiest way - Can be consider the below code
We can take advantage of Imageview setImageResource , refer below code for the same.
The below code can be used to show the image like gif incase if you have the multiple split image of gif. Just split the gif into individual png from a online tool and put image in the drawable like the below order
image_1.png, image_2.png, etc.
Have the handler to change the image dynamically.
int imagePosition = 1;
Handler handler = new Handler();
Runnable runnable = new Runnable() {
public void run() {
updateImage();
}
};
public void updateImage() {
appInstance.runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
int resId = getResources().getIdentifier("image_" + imagePosition, "drawable", appInstance.getPackageName());
gifImageViewDummy.setImageResource(resId);
imagePosition++;
//Consider you have 30 image for the anim
if (imagePosition == 30) {
//this make animation play only once
handler.removeCallbacks(runnable);
} else {
//You can define your own time based on the animation
handler.postDelayed(runnable, 50);
}
//to make animation to continue use below code and remove above if else
// if (imagePosition == 30)
//imagePosition = 1;
// handler.postDelayed(runnable, 50);
//
}
});
}

The easy way to display animated GIF directly from URL to your app layout is to use WebView class.
Step 1:
In your layout XML
<WebView
android:id="#+id/webView"
android:layout_width="50dp"
android:layout_height="50dp"
/>
Step 2: In your Activity
WebView wb;
wb = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webView);
wb.loadUrl("https://.......);
Step 3: In your Manifest.XML make Internet permission
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
Step 4: In case you want to make your GIF background transparent and make GIF fit to your Layout
wb.setBackgroundColor(Color.TRANSPARENT);
wb.getSettings().setLoadWithOverviewMode(true);
wb.getSettings().setUseWideViewPort(true);

If you want to use Glide for loading gif:
Glide.with(this)
.asGif()
.load(R.raw.onboarding_layers) //Your gif resource
.apply(RequestOptions.diskCacheStrategyOf(DiskCacheStrategy.NONE))
.listener(new RequestListener<GifDrawable>() {
#Override
public boolean onLoadFailed(#Nullable #org.jetbrains.annotations.Nullable GlideException e, Object model, Target<GifDrawable> target, boolean isFirstResource) {
return false;
}
#Override
public boolean onResourceReady(GifDrawable resource, Object model, Target<GifDrawable> target, DataSource dataSource, boolean isFirstResource) {
resource.setLoopCount(1);
return false;
}
})
.into((ImageView) view.findViewById(R.id.layer_icons));

To save resources there is glide library for.
Have no idea why to use anything else, especialy webview to show image only.
Glide is perfect and easy library that prepares animated drawable from gif and put it directly to imageview.
The logic of gifdrawable handle animation itself.
Gif have lzw ziped raw rgb data of an animation inside.
There is no reason for complicated usage of webview and manage more files to show just a gif file in app.

First of all the Android browser should support Animated GIFs. If it doesn't then it's a bug! Have a look at the issue trackers.
If you're displaying these animated GIFs outside of a browser it might be a different story. To do what you're asking would require external library that supports the decoding of Animated GIFs.
The first port of call would be to look at Java2D or JAI (Java Advanced Imaging) API, although I would be very surprised if Android Dalvik would support those libraries in your App.

How to animate ImageView from center-crop to fill the screen and vice versa (facebook style)?

Background
Facebook app has a nice transition animation between a small image on a post, and an enlarged mode of it that the user can also zoom to it.
As I see it, the animation not only enlarges and moves the imageView according to its previous location and size, but also reveals content instead of stretching the content of the imageView.
This can be seen using the next sketch i've made:
The question
How did they do it? did they really have 2 views animating to reveal the content?
How did they make it so fluid as if it's a single view?
the only tutorial i've seen (link here) of an image that is enlarged to full screen doesn't show well when the thumbnail is set to be center-crop.
Not only that, but it works even on low API of Android.
does anybody know of a library that has a similar ability?
EDIT: I've found a way and posted an answer, but it's based on changing the layoutParams , and i think it's not efficient and recommended.
I've tried using the normal animations and other animation tricks, but for now that's the only thing that worked for me.
If anyone know what to do in order to make it work in a better way, please write it down.

Ok, i've found a possible way to do it.
i've made the layoutParams as variables that keep changing using the ObjectAnimator of the nineOldAndroids library. i think it's not the best way to achieve it since it causes a lot of onDraw and onLayout, but if the container has only a few views and doesn't change its size, maybe it's ok.
the assumption is that the imageView that i animate will take the exact needed size in the end, and that (currently) both the thumbnail and the animated imageView have the same container (but it should be easy to change it.
as i've tested, it is also possible to add zoom features by extending the TouchImageView class . you just set the scale type in the beginning to center-crop, and when the animation ends you set it back to matrix, and if you want, you can set the layoutParams to fill the entire container (and set the margin to 0,0).
i also wonder how come the AnimatorSet didn't work for me, so i will show here something that works, hoping someone could tell me what i should do.
here's the code:
MainActivity.java
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
private static final int IMAGE_RES_ID = R.drawable.test_image_res_id;
private static final int ANIM_DURATION = 5000;
private final Handler mHandler = new Handler();

private CustomImageView mFullImageView;
private Point mFitSizeBitmap;
#Override

super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

mHandler.postDelayed(new Runnable() {

prepareAndStartAnimation();
}
}, 2000);
}
private void prepareAndStartAnimation() {
final int thumbX = mThumbnailImageView.getLeft(), thumbY = mThumbnailImageView.getTop();
final int thumbWidth = mThumbnailImageView.getWidth(), thumbHeight = mThumbnailImageView.getHeight();
final View container = (View) mFullImageView.getParent();
final int containerWidth = container.getWidth(), containerHeight = container.getHeight();
final Options bitmapOptions = getBitmapOptions(getResources(), IMAGE_RES_ID);
mFitSizeBitmap = getFitSize(bitmapOptions.outWidth, bitmapOptions.outHeight, containerWidth, containerHeight);
mThumbnailImageView.setVisibility(View.GONE);
mFullImageView.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
mFullImageView.setContentWidth(thumbWidth);
mFullImageView.setContentHeight(thumbHeight);
mFullImageView.setContentX(thumbX);
mFullImageView.setContentY(thumbY);
runEnterAnimation(containerWidth, containerHeight);
}
private Point getFitSize(final int width, final int height, final int containerWidth, final int containerHeight) {
int resultHeight, resultWidth;
resultHeight = height * containerWidth / width;
if (resultHeight <= containerHeight) {
resultWidth = containerWidth;
} else {
resultWidth = width * containerHeight / height;
resultHeight = containerHeight;
}
return new Point(resultWidth, resultHeight);
}
public void runEnterAnimation(final int containerWidth, final int containerHeight) {
final ObjectAnimator widthAnim = ObjectAnimator.ofInt(mFullImageView, "contentWidth", mFitSizeBitmap.x)
.setDuration(ANIM_DURATION);
final ObjectAnimator heightAnim = ObjectAnimator.ofInt(mFullImageView, "contentHeight", mFitSizeBitmap.y)
.setDuration(ANIM_DURATION);
final ObjectAnimator xAnim = ObjectAnimator.ofInt(mFullImageView, "contentX",
(containerWidth - mFitSizeBitmap.x) / 2).setDuration(ANIM_DURATION);
final ObjectAnimator yAnim = ObjectAnimator.ofInt(mFullImageView, "contentY",
(containerHeight - mFitSizeBitmap.y) / 2).setDuration(ANIM_DURATION);
widthAnim.start();
heightAnim.start();
xAnim.start();
yAnim.start();

Another solution, if you just want to make an animation of an image from small to large, you can try ActivityOptions.makeThumbnailScaleUpAnimation or makeScaleUpAnimationand see if they suit you.
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/ActivityOptions.html#makeThumbnailScaleUpAnimation(android.view.View, android.graphics.Bitmap, int, int)

You can achieve this through Transition Api， and this the resut gif:
essential code below:
private void zoomIn() {
ViewGroup.LayoutParams layoutParams = mImage.getLayoutParams();
int width = layoutParams.width;
int height = layoutParams.height;
layoutParams.width = (int) (width * 2);
layoutParams.height = height * 2;
mImage.setLayoutParams(layoutParams);
mImage.setScaleType(ImageView.ScaleType.FIT_CENTER);
TransitionSet transitionSet = new TransitionSet();
Transition bound = new ChangeBounds();
transitionSet.addTransition(bound);
Transition changeImageTransform = new ChangeImageTransform();
transitionSet.addTransition(changeImageTransform);
transitionSet.setDuration(1000);
TransitionManager.beginDelayedTransition(mRootView, transitionSet);
}

I found a way to get a similar affect in a quick prototype. It might not be suitable for production use (I'm still investigating), but it is quick and easy.
Use a fade transition on your activity/fragment transition (which starts with the ImageView in exactly the same position). The fragment version:
final FragmentTransaction fragmentTransaction = fragmentManager.beginTransaction();
fragmentTransaction.setTransition(FragmentTransaction.TRANSIT_FRAGMENT_FADE);
...etc
The activity version:
Intent intent = new Intent(context, MyDetailActivity.class);
startActivity(intent);
getActivity().overridePendingTransition(android.R.anim.fade_in, android.R.anim.fade_out);
This gives a smooth transition without a flicker.
Adjust the layouts dynamically in the onStart() of the new fragment (you need to save member fields to the appropriate parts of your UI in onCreateView, and add some flags to ensure this code only gets called once).
#Override
public void onStart() {
super.onStart();
// Remove the padding on any layouts that the image view is inside
mMainLayout.setPadding(0, 0, 0, 0);
// Get the screen size using a utility method, e.g.
// http://stackoverflow.com/a/12082061/112705
// then work out your desired height, e.g. using the image aspect ratio.
int desiredHeight = (int) (screenWidth * imgAspectRatio);
// Resize the image to fill the whole screen width, removing
// any layout margins that it might have (you may need to remove
// padding too)
LinearLayout.LayoutParams layoutParams =
new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(screenWidth, desiredHeight);
layoutParams.setMargins(0, 0, 0, 0);
mImageView.setLayoutParams(layoutParams);
}

I think the easiest way is to animate the height of the ImageView (a regular imageview, not necessary a custom view) while keeping the scaleType to centerCrop until full height, which you can know in advance if you set the image height to wrap_content in your layout and then use a ViewTreeObserver to know when the layout has ended, so you can get the ImageView height and then set the new "collapsed" height. I have not tested it but this is how I would do it.
You can also have a look at this post, they do something similar http://nerds.airbnb.com/host-experience-android/

I'm not sure why everyone is talking about the framework. Using other peoples code can be great at times; but it sounds like what you are after is precise control over the look. By getting access to the graphics context you can have that. The task is pretty simple in any environment that has a graphics context. In android you can get it by overriding the onDraw method and using the Canvas Object. It has everything you need to draw an image at many different scales, positions and clippings. You can even use a matrix if your familiar with that type of thing.
Steps
Make sure you have exact control of positioning, scale, and clip. This means disabling any layouts or auto-alignment that might be setup inside your objects container.
Figure you out what your parameter t will be for linear interpolation and how you will want it to relate to time. How fast or slow, and will there be any easing. t should be dependent on time.
After the thumbnails are cached, load the full scale image in the background. But don't show it yet.
When the animation trigger fires, show the large image and drive your animation with your t parameter using interpolation between the initial properties' states to the final properties' states. Do this for all three properties, position, scale and clip. So for all properties do the following:
Sinterpolated = Sinitial * (t-1) + Sfinal * t;
// where
// t is between 0.0 and 1.0
// and S is the states value
// for every part of scale, position, and clip
//
// Sinitial is what you are going from
// Sfinal is what you are going to
//
// t should change from 0.0->1.0 in
// over time anywhere from 12/sec or 60/sec.
If all your properties are driven by the same parameter the animation will be smooth. As an added bonus, here is a tip for timing. As long as you can keep your t parameter between 0 and 1, easing in or out can be hacked with one line of code:
// After your t is all setup
t = t * t; // for easing in
// or
t = Math.sqrt(t); // for easing out

I made a sample code in Github.
The key of this code is using canvas.clipRect().
But, it only works when the CroppedImageview is match_parent.
To explain simply,
I leave scale and translation animation to ViewPropertyAnimator.
Then, I can focus on cropping the image.
Like above picture, calculate the clipping region, and change the clip region to final view size.
AnimationController
class ZoomAnimationController(private val view: CroppedImageView, startRect: Rect, private val viewRect: Rect, imageSize: Size) {
companion object {
const val DURATION = 300L
}
private val startViewRect: RectF
private val scale: Float
private val startClipRect: RectF
private val animatingRect: Rect
private var cropAnimation: ValueAnimator? = null
init {
val startImageRect = getProportionalRect(startRect, imageSize, ImageView.ScaleType.CENTER_CROP)
startViewRect = getProportionalRect(startImageRect, viewRect.getSize(), ImageView.ScaleType.CENTER_CROP)
scale = startViewRect.width() / viewRect.width()
val finalImageRect = getProportionalRect(viewRect, imageSize, ImageView.ScaleType.FIT_CENTER)
startClipRect = getProportionalRect(finalImageRect, startRect.getSize() / scale, ImageView.ScaleType.FIT_CENTER)
animatingRect = Rect()
startClipRect.round(animatingRect)
}
fun init() {
view.x = startViewRect.left
view.y = startViewRect.top
view.pivotX = 0f
view.pivotY = 0f
view.scaleX = scale
view.scaleY = scale
view.setClipRegion(animatingRect)
}
fun startAnimation() {
cropAnimation = createCropAnimator().apply {
start()
}
view.animate()
.x(0f)
.y(0f)
.scaleX(1f)
.scaleY(1f)
.setDuration(DURATION)
.start()
}
private fun createCropAnimator(): ValueAnimator {
return ValueAnimator.ofFloat(0f, 1f).apply {
duration = DURATION
addUpdateListener {
val weight = animatedValue as Float
animatingRect.set(
(startClipRect.left * (1 - weight) + viewRect.left * weight).toInt(),
(startClipRect.top * (1 - weight) + viewRect.top * weight).toInt(),
(startClipRect.right * (1 - weight) + viewRect.right * weight).toInt(),
(startClipRect.bottom * (1 - weight) + viewRect.bottom * weight).toInt()
)
Log.d("SSO", "animatingRect=$animatingRect")
view.setClipRegion(animatingRect)
}
}
}
private fun getProportionalRect(viewRect: Rect, imageSize: Size, scaleType: ImageView.ScaleType): RectF {
return getProportionalRect(RectF(viewRect), imageSize, scaleType)
}
private fun getProportionalRect(viewRect: RectF, imageSize: Size, scaleType: ImageView.ScaleType): RectF {
val viewRatio = viewRect.height() / viewRect.width()
if ((scaleType == ImageView.ScaleType.FIT_CENTER && viewRatio > imageSize.ratio)
|| (scaleType == ImageView.ScaleType.CENTER_CROP && viewRatio <= imageSize.ratio)) {
val width = viewRect.width()
val height = width * imageSize.ratio
val paddingY = (height - viewRect.height()) / 2f
return RectF(viewRect.left, viewRect.top - paddingY, viewRect.right, viewRect.bottom + paddingY)
} else if ((scaleType == ImageView.ScaleType.FIT_CENTER && viewRatio <= imageSize.ratio)
|| (scaleType == ImageView.ScaleType.CENTER_CROP && viewRatio > imageSize.ratio)){
val height = viewRect.height()
val width = height / imageSize.ratio
val paddingX = (width - viewRect.width()) / 2f
return RectF(viewRect.left - paddingX, viewRect.top, viewRect.right + paddingX, viewRect.bottom)
}
return RectF()
}
CroppedImageView
override fun onDraw(canvas: Canvas?) {
if (clipRect.width() > 0 && clipRect.height() > 0) {
canvas?.clipRect(clipRect)
}
super.onDraw(canvas)
}
fun setClipRegion(rect: Rect) {
clipRect.set(rect)
invalidate()
}
it only works when the CroppedImageview is match_parent,
because
The paths from start to end is included in CroppedImageView. If not, animation is not shown. So, Making it's size match_parent is easy to think.
I didn't implement the code for special case...

I try to extend AnimationDrawable to add drawable into ImageSpan. but it doesn't work
public class EmoticonDrawalbe extends AnimationDrawable {
private Bitmap bitmap;
private GifDecode decode;
private int gifCount;
public EmoticonDrawalbe(Context context, String source) {
decode = new GifDecode();
decode.read(context, source);
gifCount = decode.getFrameCount();
if (gifCount <= 0) {
return;
}
for (int i = 0; i < gifCount; i++) {
bitmap = decode.getFrame(i);
addFrame(new BitmapDrawable(bitmap), decode.getDelay(i));
}
setOneShot(false);
}
#Override
public void draw(Canvas canvas) {
super.draw(canvas);
start();
}
}

I would try to either:
Split the animated image (presumably a .gif file?) into separate frames and combine those into an AnimationDrawable that you then pass to the ImageSpan's constructor.
Subclass ImageSpan and override the onDraw() method to add your own logic to draw the different frames based on some sort of timer. There's an api demo that illustrates how to use the Movie class to load up an animated gif that might be worth looking into.
Big Edit:
Alright, sorry for not getting back earlier, but I had to set aside some time to investigate this myself. I've had a play with it since I'll probably be needing a solution for this myself for one of my future projects. Unfortunately, I ran into similar problems with using an AnimationDrawable, which seems to be caused by the caching mechanism that DynamicDrawableSpan (an indirect superclass of ImageSpan) uses.
Another issue for me is that there does not appear to be a straightforward wat to invalidate a Drawable, or ImageSpan. Drawable actually has invalidateDrawable(Drawable) and invalidateSelf() methods, but the first did not have any effect in my case, whereas the latter only works if some magical Drawable.Callback is attached. I couldn't find any decent documentation on how to use this...
So, I went a step further up the logic tree to solve the problem. I have to add a warning in advance that this is most likely not an optimal solution, but for now it's the only one I was able to get to work. You probably won't run into problems if you use my solution sporadically, but I'd avoid filling the whole screen with emoticons by all means. I'm not sure what would happen, but then again, I probably don't even want to know.
Without further ado, here's the code. I added some comments to make it self-explanatory. It's quite likely a used a different Gif decoding class/libary, but it should work with about any out there.
AnimatedGifDrawable.java
public class AnimatedGifDrawable extends AnimationDrawable {
private int mCurrentIndex = 0;
private UpdateListener mListener;
public AnimatedGifDrawable(InputStream source, UpdateListener listener) {
mListener = listener;
GifDecoder decoder = new GifDecoder();
decoder.read(source);
// Iterate through the gif frames, add each as animation frame
for (int i = 0; i < decoder.getFrameCount(); i++) {
Bitmap bitmap = decoder.getFrame(i);
BitmapDrawable drawable = new BitmapDrawable(bitmap);
// Explicitly set the bounds in order for the frames to display
drawable.setBounds(0, 0, bitmap.getWidth(), bitmap.getHeight());
addFrame(drawable, decoder.getDelay(i));
if (i == 0) {
// Also set the bounds for this container drawable
setBounds(0, 0, bitmap.getWidth(), bitmap.getHeight());
}
}
}
/**
* Naive method to proceed to next frame. Also notifies listener.
*/
public void nextFrame() {
mCurrentIndex = (mCurrentIndex + 1) % getNumberOfFrames();
if (mListener != null) mListener.update();
}
/**
* Return display duration for current frame
*/
public int getFrameDuration() {
return getDuration(mCurrentIndex);
}
/**
* Return drawable for current frame
*/
public Drawable getDrawable() {
return getFrame(mCurrentIndex);
}
/**
* Interface to notify listener to update/redraw
* Can't figure out how to invalidate the drawable (or span in which it sits) itself to force redraw
*/
public interface UpdateListener {
void update();
}
}
AnimatedImageSpan.java
public class AnimatedImageSpan extends DynamicDrawableSpan {
private Drawable mDrawable;
public AnimatedImageSpan(Drawable d) {
super();
mDrawable = d;
// Use handler for 'ticks' to proceed to next frame
final Handler mHandler = new Handler();
mHandler.post(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
((AnimatedGifDrawable)mDrawable).nextFrame();
// Set next with a delay depending on the duration for this frame
mHandler.postDelayed(this, ((AnimatedGifDrawable)mDrawable).getFrameDuration());
}
});
}
/*
* Return current frame from animated drawable. Also acts as replacement for super.getCachedDrawable(),
* since we can't cache the 'image' of an animated image.
*/
#Override
public Drawable getDrawable() {
return ((AnimatedGifDrawable)mDrawable).getDrawable();
}
/*
* Copy-paste of super.getSize(...) but use getDrawable() to get the image/frame to calculate the size,
* in stead of the cached drawable.
*/
#Override
public int getSize(Paint paint, CharSequence text, int start, int end, Paint.FontMetricsInt fm) {
Drawable d = getDrawable();
Rect rect = d.getBounds();
if (fm != null) {
fm.ascent = -rect.bottom;
fm.descent = 0;
fm.top = fm.ascent;
fm.bottom = 0;
}
return rect.right;
}
/*
* Copy-paste of super.draw(...) but use getDrawable() to get the image/frame to draw, in stead of
* the cached drawable.
*/
#Override
public void draw(Canvas canvas, CharSequence text, int start, int end, float x, int top, int y, int bottom, Paint paint) {
Drawable b = getDrawable();
canvas.save();
int transY = bottom - b.getBounds().bottom;
if (mVerticalAlignment == ALIGN_BASELINE) {
transY -= paint.getFontMetricsInt().descent;
}
canvas.translate(x, transY);
b.draw(canvas);
canvas.restore();
}
}
Usage:
final TextView gifTextView = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.gif_textview);
SpannableStringBuilder sb = new SpannableStringBuilder();
sb.append("Text followed by animated gif: ");
String dummyText = "dummy";
sb.append(dummyText);
sb.setSpan(new AnimatedImageSpan(new AnimatedGifDrawable(getAssets().open("agif.gif"), new AnimatedGifDrawable.UpdateListener() {
#Override
public void update() {
gifTextView.postInvalidate();
}
})), sb.length() - dummyText.length(), sb.length(), Spannable.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE);
gifTextView.setText(sb);
As you can see I used a Handler to provide the 'ticks' to advance to the next frame. The advantage of this is that it will only fire off an update whenever a new frame should be rendered. The actual redrawing is done by invalidating the TextView which contains the AnimatedImageSpan. At the same time the drawback is that whenever you have a bunch of animated gifs in the same TextView (or multiple for that matter), the views might be updated like crazy... Use it wisely. :)

You can use ObjectAnimator to animate the drawable in the ImageSpan
