Photoview: Any support for animated gif?

[macpraveen]

Thanks for the wonderful library. Will there be any support for animated gif in the near future?

I found solution for the gifs.
https://gist.github.com/felipecsl/6289457
But have some issue with initial position of loaded gifs. It must be on center, but instead in in the upper right corner.
If i don`t use PhotoViewAttacher, then GIF in the center.
Here is layout code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:background="@android:color/black" >

    <ru.futurobot.pikabuclient.controls.GifDecoderView
        android:id="@+id/imageView"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:layout_centerInParent="true"
        android:visibility="gone"/>
    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/tvStatus"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_centerInParent="true"
        android:visibility="visible"
        android:textColor="@android:color/white"
        android:textAppearance="@android:style/TextAppearance.Medium"
        android:text="@string/loading"/>

</RelativeLayout>

The Best solution is https://github.com/koral--/android-gif-drawable

GifDrawable gif = null; try { gif = new GifDrawable(CurrentPath); } catch (IOException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } photoView.setImageDrawable(gif);

Using Glide, you can load a gif into PhotoView: https://github.com/bumptech/glide/wiki#whats-new-in-30
