How to use gif image in android

In android, if we need to add gif images in our project so first of all, we need to add a dependency in the build.Gradle(:app) file.

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

Let's start with the design part.

activity_main.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    tools:context=".MainActivity">

        <pl.droidsonroids.gif.GifImageView
            android:layout_width="0dp"
            android:layout_height="0dp"
            app:layout_constraintHeight_percent="0.5"
            app:layout_constraintWidth_percent="0.9"
            app:layout_constraintVertical_bias="0.1"
            app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
            app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
            app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
            app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
            android:src="@drawable/cart"
            android:scaleType="fitXY"
            android:layout_gravity="center"/>

    <View
        android:background="@android:color/darker_gray"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="1dp"
        app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"/>

    <TextView
        android:text="EMPTY CART"
        android:textStyle="bold"
        android:textColor="@color/black"
        app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintVertical_bias="0.55"
        android:textSize="20sp"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>

    <TextView
        android:text="Looks like you haven't made \n your choice yet"
        android:textStyle="bold"
        android:gravity="center"
        app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintVertical_bias="0.6"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>

    <Button
        android:text="Back to Menu"
        android:gravity="center"
        android:backgroundTint="#FF5722"
        app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintVertical_bias="0.7"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>

</androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>

I want to hide the action bar so I added the style in the themes folder.

themes.xml

<style name="AppTheme2" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">

Now we need to add this theme to the manifest file.

AndroidManifest.xml

<activity
    android:name=".MainActivity"
    android:exported="true"
    android:theme="@style/AppTheme2">
    <intent-filter>
        <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

        <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
    </intent-filter>
</activity>

That’s it. Happy Coding.
