Bitmap to ByteArray about gifimageview HOT 8 CLOSED

This doesnt make much sense. A GIF is composed of several Bitmaps. You can't have a GIF that's a Bitmap, unless the GIF only has a single frame.

Then how do I attach GIFs in this View. I mean if I have an image in the internal memory, how do I attach it to the View? Any help is really appreciated.

Ultimately all you need is a byte array. If you have a File for example, you need to read that file into a byte[] and then set into the GifImageView. The sample project in the repository has an example for downloading the GIF from the network and displaying. Where is your file coming from? Is it already in the device?

Yes, it is in the device.

Works perfectly for me now. Thanks for your help.

And btw, if there some best practice to make minimum memory usage? I mean should I be stopping the animations on onStop()? Or something else?

yeah i'd recommend stopping the animation when you leave the activity

That's exactly what I did. Thanks.
