Glide: No option for gif pause

[FahidMirza]

Is there any way that we can pause gif? and then resume it again.

Glide Version: 3.7.1

Integration libraries: No

Device/Android Version: Galaxy s6

[TWiStErRob]

Yes.

[FahidMirza]

Kindly can you let me know what it is exactly? @TWiStErRob

[TWiStErRob]

jk, in seriousness: you can get the drawable from ImageView and use a cast to Animatable or GifDrawable directly to control it.

[FahidMirza]

Thank you. Will try it.

@FahidMirza did you find the solution

[androsathish]

@TWiStErRob can you explain with bit of code?

[sjudd]

Drawable drawable = imageView.getDrawable();
if (drawable instanceof Animatable) {
  ((Animatable) drawable).stop();
}

[androsathish]

@sjudd Your code works well for stop(). Is there any chance to pause()

[sjudd]

stop is equivalent to pause (at least in v4). If you want to restart the loop when resuming you need to use startFromFirstFrame() instead of start().

[androsathish]

@sjudd While using stop, it goes to first frame. I need to pause at the current frame.

[Hitexroid]

@sjudd imageView.getDrawable() always is null :/

[sjudd]

@Hitexroid it will be null until the asynchronous load finishes.

[Hitexroid]

Right but i forgot AsGif

[emretekin]

Drawable drawable = imageView.getDrawable();
if (drawable instanceof Animatable) {
  ((Animatable) drawable).stop();
}

This is absolutely best answer for that problem. It works for me thanks.

[yogeshkalwar]

start will make animation to start from first frame.. is there anyway to resume from last drawn frame?

[TWiStErRob]

@yogeshkalwar sounds like that should be the behaviour: https://github.com/bumptech/glide/issues/1916#issuecomment-361016890
