GIF image not show

Question

I follow this post to show GIF image.

I have tried:

#import "ViewController.h"

@interface ViewController ()

@end

@implementation ViewController

- (void)viewDidLoad {
    [super viewDidLoad];
    // Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.

    UIImageView* animatedImageView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithFrame:self.view.bounds];
    animatedImageView.animationImages = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:
                                         [UIImage imageNamed:@"splash.gif"], nil];
    animatedImageView.animationDuration = 6.0f;
    animatedImageView.animationRepeatCount = 10;
    [animatedImageView startAnimating];
    [self.view addSubview: animatedImageView];
}


- (void)didReceiveMemoryWarning {
    [super didReceiveMemoryWarning];
    // Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
}


@end

I added GIF image to my project. But GIF image not show.

You can use UIWebview to load GIF image :

NSString *pathForFile = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource: @"splash" ofType: @"gif"];
    NSData *dataOfGif = [NSData dataWithContentsOfFile: pathForFile];
    [Web_View loadData:dataOfGif MIMEType:@"image/gif" textEncodingName:nil baseURL:nil];

Use code that I am using in my app :

NSString *pathForFile = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource: @"splash" ofType: @"gif"];
    NSData *dataOfGif = [NSData dataWithContentsOfFile: pathForFile];

        UIWebView *Web_View = [[UIWebView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(self.view.frame.origin.x, self.view.frame.origin.y, self.view.frame.size.width, self.view.frame.size.height)];
    [Web_View loadData:dataOfGif MIMEType:@"image/gif" textEncodingName:@"" baseURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@""]];
        [self.view addSubview:Web_View];

Hi @Abhisheck Gupta, I have tried your code, but gif image not show. – Twitter khuong291 Oct 05 '16 at 09:48
@Khuong for me its working.Where you getting problem ?? – Abhishek Gupta Oct 05 '16 at 09:56
Ahh, ok. But the frame of gif is not show correctly. – Twitter khuong291 Oct 05 '16 at 10:05
For me use UIWebView is kinda overkill for showing GIF, since webview have poor init time to render causing the view load slower, use external lib is better – Tj3n Oct 05 '16 at 10:11
Ok, I think I will use this https://github.com/Flipboard/FLAnimatedImage – Twitter khuong291 Oct 06 '16 at 01:58

iOS does not support GIF image, only sequence of static image that can chain to become animated, in your link they also split it to multiple frame to do it, you should use external library to play the GIF directly in UIImageView, check for some library in awesome-ios
