Is it possible to get the new ImageDecoder class to return Bitmaps, one frame after another, manually?

Background
I'm trying to go over bitmaps of animated GIF&WEBP files manually (frame by frame), so that it would work not just for Views, but on other cases too (such as a live wallpaper).
The problem
Animated GIF/WEBP files are supported only from Android P, using ImageDecoder API (example here) .
For GIF, I wanted to try Glide for the task, but I've failed, so I've tried overcoming this, by using a library that allows to load them (here, solution here). I think it works fine.
For WebP, I thought I've found another library that could work on older Android versions (here, made fork here), but it seems that it can't handle WebP files well in some cases (reported here). I tried to figure out what's the issue and how to solve it, but I didn't succeed.
So, assuming that some day Google will support GIF&WEBP animation for older Android versions via the support library (they wrote it here), I've decided to try to use ImageDecoder for the task.
Thing is, looking in the entire API of ImageDecoder , it's quite restricted in how we should use it. I don't see how I can overcome its limitations.
What I've found
This is how ImageDecoder can be used to show an animated WebP on an ImageView (just a sample, of course, available here) :
class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity() {
#SuppressLint("StaticFieldLeak")
override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main)
val source = ImageDecoder.createSource(resources, R.raw.test)
object : AsyncTask<Void, Void, Drawable?>() {
override fun doInBackground(vararg params: Void?): Drawable? {
return try {
ImageDecoder.decodeDrawable(source)
} catch (e: Exception) {
null
}
}
override fun onPostExecute(result: Drawable?) {
super.onPostExecute(result)
imageView.setImageDrawable(result)
if (result is AnimatedImageDrawable) {
result.start()
}
}
}.execute()
}
}
I've tried to read all of the documentations of ImageDecoder and AnimatedImageDrawable, and also look at its code, but I don't see how it's possible to manually go over each frame, and have the time that needs to be waited between them.
The questions
Is there a way to use ImageDecoder API to go over each frame manually, getting a Bitmap to draw and knowing how much time it's needed to wait between frames? Any workaround available? Maybe even using AnimatedImageDrawable ?
I'd like to do the same on older Android versions. Is it possible? If so how? Maybe on a different API/library? Google wrote it works on a way to use ImageDecoder on older Android versions, but I don't see it being mentioned anywhere (except for the link I've provided). Probably not ready yet... Android P didn't even reach 0.1% of users yet... Maybe Fresco can do it? I've tried to check it there too, but I don't see that it's capable of such a thing either, and it's a huge library to use just for this task, so I'd prefer to use a different library instead... I also know that libwebp is available, but it's in C/C++ and not sure if it's suited for Android, and whether there is a port for it on Java/Kotlin for Android.
EDIT:
Since I think I got what I wanted, for both a third party library and for ImageDecoder, to be able to get bitmaps out of animated WebP, I'd still want to know how to get the frame count and current frame using ImageDecoder, if that's possible. I tried using ImageDecoder.decodeDrawable(source, object : ImageDecoder.OnHeaderDecodedListener... , but it doesn't provide frame count information, and there is no way in the API that I can see that I can go to a specific frame index and start from there, or to know for a specific frame how long it needs to go to the next frame. So I made a reuqest about those here.
Sadly I also could not find that Google has ImageDecoder available for older Android versions, either.
It's also interesting if there is some kind of way to do the same as I did for the relatively new animation file of HEIC. Currently it's supported only on Android P.

OK, I got a possible solution, using Glide library, together with GlideWebpDecoder library .
I'm not sure if that's the best way to do it, but I think it should work fine. The next code shows how it's possible to make the drawable draw into the Bitmap instance that I create, for each frame that the animation needs to show. It's not exactly what I asked, but it might help others.
Here's the code (project available here) :
CallbackEx.kt
abstract class CallbackEx : Drawable.Callback {
override fun unscheduleDrawable(who: Drawable, what: Runnable) {}
override fun invalidateDrawable(who: Drawable) {}
override fun scheduleDrawable(who: Drawable, what: Runnable, `when`: Long) {}
}
MyAppGlideModule.kt
#GlideModule
class MyAppGlideModule : AppGlideModule()
MainActivity.kt
class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity() {
var webpDrawable: WebpDrawable? = null
var gifDrawable: GifDrawable? = null
var callback: Drawable.Callback? = null
override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main)
useFrameByFrameDecoding()
// useNormalDecoding()
}
fun useNormalDecoding() {
//webp url : https://res.cloudinary.com/demo/image/upload/fl_awebp/bored_animation.webp

// .load(R.raw.test)
// .load(R.raw.fast)

// .load("https://res.cloudinary.com/demo/image/upload/fl_awebp/bored_animation.webp")
.into(object : SimpleTarget<Drawable>() {
override fun onResourceReady(drawable: Drawable, transition: Transition<in Drawable>?) {
imageView.setImageDrawable(drawable)
when (drawable) {
is GifDrawable -> {
drawable.start()
}
is WebpDrawable -> {
drawable.start()
}
}
}
})
}
fun useFrameByFrameDecoding() {
//webp url : https://res.cloudinary.com/demo/image/upload/fl_awebp/bored_animation.webp
Glide.with(this)

.into(object : SimpleTarget<Drawable>() {
override fun onResourceReady(drawable: Drawable, transition: Transition<in Drawable>?) {
// val callback
when (drawable) {
is GifDrawable -> {
gifDrawable = drawable
val bitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(drawable.intrinsicWidth, drawable.intrinsicHeight, Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888)
val canvas = Canvas(bitmap)
drawable.setBounds(0, 0, bitmap.width, bitmap.height)
drawable.setLoopCount(GifDrawable.LOOP_FOREVER)
callback = object : CallbackEx() {
override fun invalidateDrawable(who: Drawable) {
who.draw(canvas)
imageView.setImageBitmap(bitmap)
Log.d("AppLog", "invalidateDrawable ${drawable.toString().substringAfter('#')} ${drawable.frameIndex}/${drawable.frameCount}")
}
}
drawable.callback = callback
drawable.start()
}
is WebpDrawable -> {
webpDrawable = drawable
val bitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(drawable.intrinsicWidth, drawable.intrinsicHeight, Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888)
val canvas = Canvas(bitmap)
drawable.setBounds(0, 0, bitmap.width, bitmap.height)
drawable.setLoopCount(WebpDrawable.LOOP_FOREVER)
callback = object : CallbackEx() {
override fun invalidateDrawable(who: Drawable) {
who.draw(canvas)
imageView.setImageBitmap(bitmap)
Log.d("AppLog", "invalidateDrawable ${drawable.toString().substringAfter('#')} ${drawable.frameIndex}/${drawable.frameCount}")
}
}
drawable.callback = callback
drawable.start()
}
}
}
})
}
override fun onStart() {
super.onStart()
gifDrawable?.start()
gifDrawable?.start()
}
override fun onStop() {
super.onStop()
Log.d("AppLog", "onStop")
webpDrawable?.stop()
gifDrawable?.stop()
}
}
Not sure why SimpleTarget is marked as deprecated, and what I should use instead, though.
Using a similar technique, I've also found out how to do it using ImageDecoder, but not with the same functionality for some reason. A sample project available here.
Here's the code:
MainActivity.kt
class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity() {
var webpDrawable: AnimatedImageDrawable? = null
#SuppressLint("StaticFieldLeak")
override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main)
val source = ImageDecoder.createSource(resources, R.raw.test)
object : AsyncTask<Void, Void, Drawable?>() {
override fun doInBackground(vararg params: Void?): Drawable? {
return try {
ImageDecoder.decodeDrawable(source)
} catch (e: Exception) {
null
}
}
override fun onPostExecute(drawable: Drawable?) {
super.onPostExecute(drawable)
// imageView.setImageDrawable(result)
if (drawable is AnimatedImageDrawable) {
webpDrawable = drawable
val bitmap =
Bitmap.createBitmap(drawable.intrinsicWidth, drawable.intrinsicHeight, Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888)
val canvas = Canvas(bitmap)
drawable.setBounds(0, 0, bitmap.width, bitmap.height)
drawable.repeatCount = AnimatedImageDrawable.REPEAT_INFINITE
drawable.callback = object : Drawable.Callback {
val handler = Handler()
override fun unscheduleDrawable(who: Drawable, what: Runnable) {
Log.d("AppLog", "unscheduleDrawable")
}
override fun invalidateDrawable(who: Drawable) {
who.draw(canvas)
imageView.setImageBitmap(bitmap)
Log.d("AppLog", "invalidateDrawable")
}
override fun scheduleDrawable(who: Drawable, what: Runnable, `when`: Long) {
Log.d("AppLog", "scheduleDrawable next frame in ${`when` - SystemClock.uptimeMillis()} ms")
handler.postAtTime(what, `when`)
}
}
drawable.start()
}
}
}.execute()
}
override fun onStart() {
super.onStart()
webpDrawable?.start()
}
override fun onStop() {
super.onStop()
webpDrawable?.stop()
}
}

see ImageDecoder.Source ...
one needs to first create a source, with either:
// source from file
val source = ImageDecoder.createSource(file)
// source from byte buffer
val source = ImageDecoder.createSource(byteBuffer)
// source from resource
val source = ImageDecoder.createSource(resources, resId)
// source from URI
val source = ImageDecoder.createSource(contentResolver, uri)
// source from asset file
val source = ImageDecoder.createSource(assetManager, assetFileName)
and then decode, with either:
// create bitmap
val bitmap = ImageDecoder.decodeBitmap(source)
// create drawable
val drawable = ImageDecoder.decodeDrawable(source)
update: the problem is, that the resulting AnimatedImageDrawable doesn't have the two methods: getNumberOfFrames() and getFrame(int) as an AnimationDrawable has. as #androiddeveloper pointed out ...I've messed up two different classes. I've double-checked the documentation and there seems to be no way. with the GIFImageReader it still can be extracted (source):
ArrayList<BufferedImage> getFrames(File gif) throws IOException {
ArrayList<BufferedImage> frames = new ArrayList<BufferedImage>();
ImageReader ir = new GIFImageReader(new GIFImageReaderSpi());
ir.setInput(ImageIO.createImageInputStream(gif));
for(int i = 0; i < ir.getNumImages(true); i++) {
frames.add(ir.read(i));
}
return frames;
}
just tried to convert it to Kotlin, but javax.imageio.ImageIO is not available on Android.

I played with GIF images a few years ago. My idea is decode GIF images to frames, convert frames to bitmaps add create Animated Drawable from bitmaps and delay between frames. This is decode class:

EDIT: In actually implementing this, I encountered a couple unexpected problems, but nothing insurmountable:
AnimatedImageDrawable seems to ignore its configured bounds. I scaled the canvas instead.
For reasons I don't understand, AnimatedImageDrawable.draw() occasionally neglects to schedule the next frame. I decided to call the function twice. The second time, I translate the canvas so that all drawing is out of bounds, which should allow most of the work to be optimized away.
Here's the sample code.
import android.annotation.*;
import android.graphics.*;
import android.graphics.drawable.*;
import android.os.*;
import android.service.wallpaper.*;
import android.support.annotation.*;
import android.view.*;
#TargetApi(28)
public class TestWallpaper extends WallpaperService
{
#Override public Engine onCreateEngine()
{
return new Engine();
}
private class Engine extends WallpaperService.Engine implements Drawable.Callback
{
private final Drawable d;
private final Handler h = new Handler();
private float scaleX, scaleY;
private Engine()
{
this.setOffsetNotificationsEnabled(false);
Drawable d = null;
try
{
d = ImageDecoder
.decodeDrawable(ImageDecoder.createSource(getResources(), R.drawable.test));
d.setCallback(this);
// AnimatedImageDrawable seems to ignore its configured bounds and use its
// intrinsic bounds instead.
// In case they fix this bug, we'll go ahead and request the current
// behavior, and then before drawing we'll transform the canvas to compensate
d.setBounds(0, 0, d.getIntrinsicWidth(), d.getIntrinsicHeight());
if (d instanceof AnimatedImageDrawable)
{
final AnimatedImageDrawable anim = (AnimatedImageDrawable) d;
anim.setRepeatCount(AnimatedImageDrawable.REPEAT_INFINITE);
anim.start();
}
}
catch (Throwable t) // should never happen

OutofMemoryError When playing GIF File in android

I want to play gif file in android on imageview. I used this link http://droid-blog.net/2011/10/14/tutorial-how-to-use-animated-gifs-in-android-part-1/ . This works fine but when I am using two buttons and I am swaping the gif images continuously app crashed after sometime..

Please check this code. Thanks in advance. App getting crashed when I continuously swaping the image.

The problem is caused by the GarbageCollector not having released the old GIF Instances as you recreate them all the time, over and over again!
Try caching both GifDecoderView instances, i.e. create them once and keep them during runtime, instead of recreating them, i.e. in your oncreate do this:
InputStream is = getApplicationContext().getAssets().open(gif0Name);
this.mGif0 = new GifDecoderView(getApplicationContext(), is);
is = getApplicationContext().getAssets().open(gif1Name);
this.mGif1 = new GifDecoderView(getApplicationContext(), is);
Add the two field s in the class accordingly and remember to destroy them once your activity will be destroyed.
Also: Consider not to recreate the entire views but to stop playback of the gif to be hidden and hide the enclosing view! WIll make your code much smaller and you don't have to recreate stuff all the time!
EDIT: By the way, what does your DecoderView do, if you add this GIFMovieView?

Play downloaded GIF

I'm trying to display downloaded gif in Android application. So far I've tried these methods:
play downloaded Gif image in android
https://code.google.com/p/android-gifview/source/checkout
However, none of them works. The first one uses Movie class, and results in such error:
05-10 03:22:08.962: A/libc(25112): Fatal signal 11 (SIGSEGV) at 0x00000000 (code=1), thread 25112 (com.android.gif)
Second one works only on bitmap resources:
return getContext().getResources().openRawResource(resId);
I've also tried saving bitmap, but Bitmap.CompressFormat does not support gif, and saves as static image.

Hi I have did some job that is able to play downloaded GIF image.

How to Use?
1) to play image from resource
gifView.setGifImageResourceID(R.drawable.gif);
2) to play downloaded gif (Download image to sdcard/internal storage)
gifView.setGif("mnt/sdcard/downloadedimage.gif");

Android decoding gif issue

I want to load a gif image on my splash screen. I used webview, but it's buggy. Then I found a class in google code , that allows me to decode a gif image and display it. The problem is, on emulator its working. Here is the image on emulator:
http://i47.tinypic.com/2ds0gvs.jpg
and here is what I get on a real device. I have tried to run on 2.2.2 and 2.3.6, same result, first loop pass correct, and then I get this:

Why don't just use the default loading circle from android? This code is really overkill...
Just make a 9.patch image as splash screen and put a loading circle form the android core over it. (progressBar)
Custom image animation
Android: make animation from still images

You can then set the image on the background or on the entire layout and use the android circle which rotates (progress bar).

Showing gif in android

i have this code to show gif image with Movie.
public class GIFView extends View{
private Movie movie;
private InputStream is;
private long moviestart;
public GIFView(Context context) {
super(context);
is=getResources().openRawResource(R.drawable.anim_cerca);
movie=Movie.decodeStream(is);
}
#Override
protected void onDraw(Canvas canvas) {
super.onDraw(canvas);
long now=android.os.SystemClock.uptimeMillis();
if (moviestart == 0)
moviestart = now;
int relTime = (int)((now - moviestart) % movie.duration());
movie.setTime(relTime);
movie.draw(canvas,10,10);
this.invalidate();
}
}
My problem borns when gif is loaded, it draw very bad, only the first frame is shown and the other are like disturbed. What can i do?
EDIT: THE PROBLEM IS EMULATOR! IT DOESN'T SHOW GIF, BUT ON DEVICE IT'S OK! :)

Good start.
Gotta make it more useful for loading different gifs after being added to the view and for either assets or resources. Also, for devices with hardware acceleration I was getting blank views, so I turned it off for this GIFView.
Also, be sure to put animated gifs in the res/drawable-xhdpi directory (or assets if using that way)
public class GIFView extends View{
Movie movie;
long moviestart;
public GIFView(Context context) throws IOException {
super(context);
}
public GIFView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) throws IOException{
super(context, attrs);
}
public GIFView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle) throws IOException {
super(context, attrs, defStyle);
}
public void loadGIFResource(Context context, int id)
{
//turn off hardware acceleration
this.setLayerType(View.LAYER_TYPE_SOFTWARE, null);
InputStream is=context.getResources().openRawResource(id);
movie = Movie.decodeStream(is);
}
public void loadGIFAsset(Context context, String filename)
{
InputStream is;
try {
is = context.getResources().getAssets().open(filename);
movie = Movie.decodeStream(is);
} catch (IOException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
#Override
protected void onDraw(Canvas canvas) {
super.onDraw(canvas);
if (movie == null) {
return;
}
long now=android.os.SystemClock.uptimeMillis();
if (moviestart == 0) moviestart = now;
int relTime;
relTime = (int)((now - moviestart) % movie.duration());
movie.setTime(relTime);
movie.draw(canvas,10,10);
this.invalidate();
}
}
Usage:
imageView.loadGIFResource(this, R.drawable.quickguide_1);
and
<com.eyeverify.GIFView
android:id="#+id/imageView"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:layout_marginBottom="50dp"
android:layout_marginTop="110dp"
android:src="#drawable/quickguide_1"/>

I solved in this way :
public class GIFView extends View{
private Movie movie;
private long moviestart;
public GIFView(Context context) throws IOException {
super(context);
movie=Movie.decodeStream(getResources().getAssets().open("anim_cerca.gif"));
}
public GIFView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) throws IOException{
super(context, attrs);
movie=Movie.decodeStream(getResources().getAssets().open("anim_cerca.gif"));
}
public GIFView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle) throws IOException {
super(context, attrs, defStyle);
movie=Movie.decodeStream(getResources().getAssets().open("anim_cerca.gif"));
}
#Override
protected void onDraw(Canvas canvas) {
super.onDraw(canvas);
long now=android.os.SystemClock.uptimeMillis();
Paint p = new Paint();
p.setAntiAlias(true);
if (moviestart == 0)
moviestart = now;
int relTime;
relTime = (int)((now - moviestart) % movie.duration());
movie.setTime(relTime);
movie.draw(canvas,0,0);
this.invalidate();
}
}
and in layout i put this custom view in this way:
<spazio.digitale.com.GIFView
android:layout_marginLeft="30dp" android:layout_gravity="center"
android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="220dp"
android:id="#+id/GIFSingle">

by using these classes you can add gif file to any view

in your AndroidManifest.xml, set the following attribute to your Application:
android:hardwareAccelerated="false"

Or you can simply add WebView to your xml and load the gif image inside the webview. You donot need to do anything else. The image will loop automatically inside the webview

The easiest way would be to use a WebView.
Store your animated GIF in the assets folder. Then load the GIF by using the following code:
WebView wv = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webView1);
wv.loadUrl("file:///android_asset/anim5.gif");
webView1 is your WebView id, and anim5.gif is your GIF name.
