[SOLVED] Having troubles loading a GIF image in my application

Having troubles loading a GIF image in my application

so i was trying to load a GIF image using a link into my application, but i couldn't find how.

i tried using Glide and Picasso but i still couldn't resolve my problem, at first i thought i might have something in my app that's stopping the GIF from loading so i tried creating a new app just to test loading a GIF in an app and still couldn't load a single GIF.

I have looked around for a question like mine and tested some of the answers given but none of them worked!

so if anyone can show me a way to load a GIF in an app i would be quite thankful, and i can share the code for my app but as i stated earlier i am trying a new empty app and has no actual code in it.

Solution

There's too little information to know what happened. It would be better to show more detail about the code you tried and the result.

However, This is a Simple Example

AndroidManifest.xml:

add internet permission

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />

build.gradle(:app):

add Glide Library.

implementation 'com.github.bumptech.glide:glide:4.12.0'

activity_main.xml:

add an ImageView

<ImageView
    android:id="@+id/imageView"
    android:layout_width="0dp"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
    app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
    app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent" />

MainActivity.kt:

load GIF into imageView

 val url = "https://media.giphy.com/media/3o7527pa7qs9kCG78A/giphy.gif"
 Glide.with(this)
     .load(url)
     .into(imageView)
