GitHub link to download project for free

1- I am using android-studio 3.5.3 editor to develop this example

so let's start:-

1- Start a new project or use any existing project.

2- add the following dependencies in your app-level Gradle file.

implementation  'pl.droidsonroids.gif:android-gif-drawable:1.2.17'

3- add mavenCentral() in allprojects under project level Gradle file.

allprojects { repositories { google() jcenter() mavenCentral() } }

4- add GifImageView in activity or fragment xml where you want to show the gif.

<pl.droidsonroids.gif.GifImageView android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:src="@drawable/logo" />

5- if you want to use custom width and height, you are free for that.
