I want to display a gif image http://peacechild.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/loading.gif
in each element of custom listview.
How to do that?
I know that we have to make use of the movie class but how to use it?
An example would be helpfull.
Thanks
Use this Animated GIF app sample
OR
Use a webview to load it
Use VideoView.
Natively ImageView does not support animated image. You have two options to show animated gif file
1.Use VideoView
2.Use ImageView and Split the gif file into several parts and then apply animation to it

I am using an Image Loaded which loads images based on requirment and since the images are big. I want to display an intermediate Spinning Image showing which would convey that the image is loading to the User.
I am displaying these images in the Viewpager.
We can not use a Gif image to display the animation and i wonder how it can be done.
P.S i am not looking for a Progress Dialog.
You could try doing a View Animation on the ImageView. Rotate is one of the included animations, and you can define it in XML.
Here's a Youtube Video from Google explaining it a little more.
I use ImageSpan to add image into TextView,but It can't animate.
animated GIF is not yet supported in Android.

You will need to use multiple images and use animation to achieve it.
Code from the API

Did you take a look at this. This might be what you are looking for.
I have been trying to use a .gif file from my resources, but I get no movement when it loads. I am using it as a loading image while I am doing an asynchronous task. I was previously using a progress dialog but now I would like to display the image myself and not use a dialog. How can I get this image to display correctly?
Try using AnimationDrawable:
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/graphics/drawable/AnimationDrawable.html
Basically, you should split each of the frames in your gif into separate files - such as .png file (say if it had transparency) and specify these files in the <animation-list> instead. You can also control the duration of each frame.
See the link for code example
If you are deadset on using a gif image you can just use a WebView instead of an ImageView. Then make an html doc that displays your gif image. When you show it in the WebView it will be animated for you.
