Using Bundled GIFLib via JNI

Using a Library

There are many methods for displaying GIFs in Android. One simple solution is to use a bundled GIFLib via JNI. This method involves accessing the native code of the Android platform to render the GIF.

Here are the steps for using the bundled GIFLib via JNI:

1. Create a new Android project in Android Studio.
2. Add the GIFLib library to your project.
3. Create a new Java class that will extend the View class. This class will be responsible for rendering the GIF.
4. In the constructor of your custom View class, load the GIF file into a buffer.
5. Override the onDraw() method to display the GIF.
6. Create a new layout file that will include your custom View class.
7. Add your custom View class to your layout file.
8. Run the project.
