In your build.gradle file: Compile this dependency.

dependencies {
   compile 'com.felipecsl:gifimageview:2.1.0'
}

In your Activity class:

@Override
 protected void onCreate(final Bundle savedInstanceState) {
   super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

   gifView = (GifImageView) findViewById(R.id.gifImageView);
   gifView.setBytes(bitmapData);
}

@Override
protected void onStart() {
    super.onStart();
    gifView.startAnimation();
}

@Override
protected void onStop() {
    super.onStop();
    gifView.stopAnimation();
}

If you need to post-process the GIF frames, you can do that via GifImageView.setOnFrameAvailable() . You can see an example of that in the sample app included on the repository.

gifImageView.setOnFrameAvailable(new GifImageView.OnFrameAvailable() {
    @Override
    public Bitmap onFrameAvailable(Bitmap bitmap) {
        return blurFilter.blur(bitmap);
    }
});

You can also reset an animation to play again from the beginning gifImageView.resetAnimation(); or show a specific frame of the animation gifImageView.gotoFrame(3);
