Android animated GIF (Cupcake)


I've used animated GIFs in Android pre cupcake however my old code no longer works. To be exact:

Movie.decodeStream

Always returns null... Does anyone have any workarounds/fixes to play animated GIFs?


Solution

  • There's a bug report for this. Looks like the only option currently is to split it up and do frame-by-frame animation manually. There's instructions in the docs for how to do this.
