B4A Library AnimatedGifView DesignerCustomView Control

Introduction

This is a DesignerCustomView control which is based on the native android movie view and will allow you to display animated gifs (tranparent ones as well).

How to use

1. Extract the AnimatedGifView jar + xml to the B4A libraries folder.
2. Open the IDE and check the AnimatedGifView library in the list of libraries.
3. Open the designer, drop a CustomView control, and in the CustomType choose AnimatedGifView.

You can load files by using the Load method:
B4X:
'Set the 3rd parameter to true to automatically start it
AnimatedGif.Load(File.DirAssets, "1.gif", False)

Properties: Visible, Stopped, Paused, Frame, Frames, EventsDisabled
Methods: Load
Events: Load, Pause, Stop, Frame, Play

Note: If you are just using it for ajax loaders, then set the Tag property to 1 in order to disable events and save some some serious CPU cycles.

In the samples folder, there is a ready-to-play sample project.

Enjoy! :D
