Download GIF from URL

Question

I don't know how to download a GIF from a given URL.
Downloading an image is trivial, but I had no success in downloading a GIF, so far.

I am using android-gif-drawable to display GIFs, so I need the GIF as a Drawable.
While this is the same question, the code didn't work for me.

@RajanBhavsar I'll try that. The ultimate solution would be getting the GIF as a Drawable, but I guess that would still do the job. — taitasciore, Apr 27 '15 at 16:27
