Animated GIF ImageView Library for Android

Okay Good People!!!
Announcing today a brand new library which is intended to help you out with displaying Animated GIF's within your applications.

WHY A NEW LIBRARY?
As an Android developer you would have noticed that Android has not provided support for Animated GIF's as a component.
Therefore in order to show an Animated GIF's we usually end up using WebView in application which has its own disadvantages (Memorish Isuuess!!!).

THAY THE LIBRARY!

Screenshot of Sample Application

The Sample application demonstrate that the Library Can handle both regular Image (PNG/JPG) and Animated GIF on same View. Therefore giving developer the flexibility to use Image/GIF without making any changes to his/her code base.

Sample Implementation:

layout.xml

        android:id="@+id/animatedGifImageView"

        android:layout_width="match_parent"

        android:layout_height="wrap_content"

        android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"

        android:layout_alignParentRight="true"

        android:layout_above="@+id/button1"

        android:layout_below="@+id/textView1" />

Activity.java

animatedGifImageView = ((AnimatedGifImageView)findViewById(R.id.animatedGifImageView));

animatedGifImageView.setAnimatedGif(R.raw.animated_gif,

TYPE.FIT_CENTER);

That's It!

AnimagedGifImageView supports some basic parameters to give you better control of image resizing (If required) There fore you can pass :

FIT_CENTER: Stretch and fit image while maintaining aspect ratio

STREACH_TO_FIT: Stretch Image irrespective of aspect ratio

AS_IS: Place the image without any manipulations.

Hope you will use the library and make your life easier :)
