I am using Glide for the very fist time to display GIF inside ImageView. I have coded it the way it is given across several sites. But it is not working. I have given all the code below:(Please let me know if I have mistaken anything)

Project level build.gradle

buildscript {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.0.0'
        classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:2.1.0-alpha5'
        // NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
        // in the individual module build.gradle files
    }
}

allprojects {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
    }
}

task clean(type: Delete) {
    delete rootProject.buildDir
}

App level build.gradle file:

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android {
    compileSdkVersion 22
    buildToolsVersion "23.0.3"

    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "com.example.winner.myapplication"
        minSdkVersion 19
        targetSdkVersion 22
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"
        renderscriptTargetApi 19
        renderscriptSupportModeEnabled true

    }
    buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
    }
}

dependencies {
    compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
    testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:22.2.1'
    //compile files('libs/ion-2.1.6.jar')
    //compile files('libs/androidasync-2.1.6.jar')
    compile 'com.github.bumptech.glide:glide:3.7.0'
}

            android:text="Submit" />

    </LinearLayout>

</RelativeLayout>

Activity Java code:

package com.example.winner.myapplication;

import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.ImageView;

import com.bumptech.glide.Glide;
import com.bumptech.glide.request.target.GlideDrawableImageViewTarget;

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
        final Button submit = (Button) findViewById(R.id.submit);
        submit.setOnClickListener(onClickSubmit);
    }

    View.OnClickListener onClickSubmit = new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            ImageView iView = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.test_image);
            Glide.with(getApplicationContext()).
                    load("http://i.imgur.com/1ALnB2s.gif").into(iView);

        }
    };
}

I do not see the GIF image after clicking on the Submit button.

As Glide Documentation says,

You can use .asGif() to force the library to load an animated gif and fail if it is not :

Glide.with(activity).load(url).asGif().into(view);

I would recommand you to do the following

ImageView iView = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.test_image);
if (iView != null)
    Glide.with(this).load("http://i.imgur.com/1ALnB2s.gif").asGif().into(iView);

For more informations, please consider reading Glide examples about loading Gif https://github.com/bumptech/glide/wiki

Code example provided works well !

You can go with this. It worked for me. I hope it will work for you too.

ImageView iView = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.test_image); 
    GlideDrawableImageViewTarget imageViewPreview = new GlideDrawableImageViewTarget(iView);
    Glide
            .with(this)
            .load(url)
            .listener(new RequestListener<String, GlideDrawable>() {
                @Override
                public boolean onException(Exception e, String model, Target<GlideDrawable> target, boolean isFirstResource) {                       
                    return false;
                }

                @Override
                public boolean onResourceReady(GlideDrawable resource, String model, Target<GlideDrawable> target, boolean isFromMemoryCache, boolean isFirstResource) {
                    return false;
                }
            })
            .into(imageViewPreview);
}

It works for both images as well as gifs.

To load the gif using glide,glide takes few seconds to process the gif. So, the image can only be loaded after that time.So, mean while u can use placeholder.

Glide.with(this).load("https://i.stack.imgur.com/YQU3z.gif").asGif().placeHolder(R.drawable.any_normal_image.png).into(iView);

I was having trouble getting Glide to display a local gif (in drawables folder) I had, and for me the problem was that I included the extension (.gif) in the filename. After I removed the extension, the image is finally displayed. Not sure if that also applies to a URL, but thought I'd share anyway for people Googling this.

Didn't work:

    Glide.with(this).load(getImage("logo.gif")).into(muhGif)

Did work:

    Glide.with(this).load(getImage("logo")).into(muhGif)

Try this

    ImageView banner = (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.bannerImageView);


    Glide.with(this)
            .asGif()
            .load(R.raw.banner_challenge)
            .placeholder(R.drawable.banner_1).into(banner);
