Animated GIF doesn't display in WebView on Android 1.6

Question

I have a problem when trying to display a GIF animation inside of a WebView.

What is the problem and how can I solve it?

Could you post your code? GIF animation should work the same way as in HTML. — Sephy, Aug 18 '10 at 09:11

Animated gifs are not supported, seems to be a known issue.

Thanks.i follow your link and get the solution in comment of LatinSuD: As a workaround, if you are using a custom WebView, you can do these 2 things together: - Enable Javascript for the Webview (Eg: http://code.google.com/p/slidetypekeyboard/source/browse/trunk/src/com/latinsud/android/slidetypekeyboard/HelpActivity.java) - Then use javascript to swap images (Eg: http://code.google.com/p/slidetypekeyboard/source/browse/trunk/assets/index.html) Please note that this is not a solution for displaying GIFs. – NguyenDat Aug 18 '10 at 10:17
