1.Put compile 'pl.droidsonroids.gif:android-gif-drawable:1.1.+'

in your build.gradle file as dependency.

2. Put your .gif file in the drawable folder

Call the below method in onCreate of your SplashActivity

public void startSplash(){
        Animation fadeout = new AlphaAnimation(1.f, 1.f);
        fadeout.setDuration(2500);
        final View viewToAnimate = gifImageView;
        fadeout.setAnimationListener(new Animation.AnimationListener() {

            @Override
            public void onAnimationStart(Animation animation) {
                gifImageView.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.splash_screen);//splash_screen is your .gif file
            }

            @Override
            public void onAnimationRepeat(Animation animation) {
            }

            @Override
            public void onAnimationEnd(Animation animation) {

        });
        gifImageView.startAnimation(fadeout);
    }


 Put the below code in your SplashActivty.xml

     <pl.droidsonroids.gif.GifTextView
                android:id="@+id/imageView"
                android:layout_width="fill_parent"
                android:scaleType="fitXY"
                android:layout_height="fill_parent"
                />

Go to your Project Level build.gradle file and add the below code if its not there

buildscript {
    repositories {
        mavenCentral()
    }
}
allprojects {
    repositories {
        mavenCentral()
    }
}

Or You can also try

repositories {
    jcenter()
}
