We can easily add animated gif image on imageview using Ion library.

ImageView image = (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.image_gif);
Ion.with(image).load("http://mygifimage.gif");

First  copy your GIF image into Asset Folder of your app create following classes and paste the code AnimationActivity  -  public class AnimationActivity extends Activity       Called when the

Gif s can also be displayed in web view with couple of lines of code and without any 3rd party libraries  This way you can even load the gif from your SD card  No need to copy images to your Asset folder   Take a web view    lt WebView     android layout width  wrap content      android layout height  wrap content      android id    id imageWebView    gt    Use can open a gif file from SD card not just from asset folder as shown in many examples       WebView webView    WebView  findViewById R id imageWebView       String  data        lt body gt   lt img src        filePath      gt  lt  body gt            filePath  is the path of your  GIF file on SD card     webView loadDataWithBaseURL  file    android asset   data  text html   UTF-8  null

Based on Ahmad Dwaik  Warlock s comment  I have tried the following code and it worked    Use a webview in your xml file  and adjust its position to the place where exactly you were trying to show you  gif image  In your activity initialise this small piece of webview like other views  place the  gif image in assets folder now load the image as if you are loading a url into webview like  diyaWebView1 loadUrl  file    android asset www diya gif     you can see your  gif image when you launch the application    P S   this things works if you  gif image fits your webview or viceversa else if the image is bigger than the webview the scrollbar gets enabled and user can scroll the image AKA webview  So we need to be careful when we use this  to give proper size to the webview as per image or edit the image that fits your webview
