AnimatedImageDrawable


public class AnimatedImageDrawable
extends Drawable implements Animatable2

java.lang.Object
   ↳ android.graphics.drawable.Drawable
     ↳ android.graphics.drawable.AnimatedImageDrawable


Drawable for drawing animated images (like GIF).

The framework handles decoding subsequent frames in another thread and updating when necessary. The drawable will only animate while it is being displayed.

Created by ImageDecoder#decodeDrawable. A user needs to call start() to start the animation.

It can also be defined in XML using the <animated-image> element.

Inherited methods

XML attributes

android:autoMirrored

Indicates if the drawable needs to be mirrored when its layout direction is RTL (right-to-left).

May be a boolean value, such as "true" or "false".

android:autoStart

When true, automatically start animating. The default is false, meaning that the animation will not start until start() is called.

May be a boolean value, such as "true" or "false".

android:repeatCount

Replace the loop count in the encoded data. A repeat count of 0 means that the animation will play once, regardless of the number of times specified in the encoded data. Setting this to infinite (-1) will result in the animation repeating as long as it is displayed (once start() is called).

May be an integer value, such as "100".

Must be one of the following constant values.

ConstantValueDescription
infiniteffffffff

android:src

Identifier of the image file. This attribute is mandatory. It must be an image file with multiple frames, e.g. gif or webp

May be a reference to another resource, in the form "@[+][package:]type/name" or a theme attribute in the form "?[package:]type/name".

May be a color value, in the form of "#rgb", "#argb", "#rrggbb", or "#aarrggbb".

Constants

REPEAT_INFINITE

Added in API level 28
public static final int REPEAT_INFINITE

Pass this to setRepeatCount(int) to repeat infinitely.

Animatable2.AnimationCallback#onAnimationEnd will never be called unless there is an error.

Constant Value: -1 (0xffffffff)

Public constructors

AnimatedImageDrawable

Added in API level 28
public AnimatedImageDrawable ()

Create an empty AnimatedImageDrawable.

Public methods

clearAnimationCallbacks

Added in API level 28
public void clearAnimationCallbacks ()

Removes all existing animation callbacks.

draw

Added in API level 28
public void draw (Canvas canvas)

Draw in its bounds (set via setBounds) respecting optional effects such as alpha (set via setAlpha) and color filter (set via setColorFilter).

Parameters
canvas Canvas: This value cannot be null.

getAlpha

Added in API level 28
public int getAlpha ()

Gets the current alpha value for the drawable. 0 means fully transparent, 255 means fully opaque. This method is implemented by Drawable subclasses and the value returned is specific to how that class treats alpha. The default return value is 255 if the class does not override this method to return a value specific to its use of alpha.

Returns
int Value is between 0 and 255 inclusive

getColorFilter

Added in API level 28
public ColorFilter getColorFilter ()

Returns the current color filter, or null if none set.

Returns
ColorFilter This value may be null.

getIntrinsicHeight

Added in API level 28
public int getIntrinsicHeight ()

Returns the drawable's intrinsic height.

Intrinsic height is the height at which the drawable would like to be laid out, including any inherent padding. If the drawable has no intrinsic height, such as a solid color, this method returns -1.

Returns
int the intrinsic height, or -1 if no intrinsic height

getIntrinsicWidth

Added in API level 28
public int getIntrinsicWidth ()

Returns the drawable's intrinsic width.

Intrinsic width is the width at which the drawable would like to be laid out, including any inherent padding. If the drawable has no intrinsic width, such as a solid color, this method returns -1.

Returns
int the intrinsic width, or -1 if no intrinsic width

getOpacity

Added in API level 28
public int getOpacity ()

This method is deprecated.
This method is no longer used in graphics optimizations

Return the opacity/transparency of this Drawable. The returned value is one of the abstract format constants in PixelFormat: PixelFormat.UNKNOWN, PixelFormat.TRANSLUCENT, PixelFormat.TRANSPARENT, or PixelFormat.OPAQUE.

An OPAQUE drawable is one that draws all all content within its bounds, completely covering anything behind the drawable. A TRANSPARENT drawable is one that draws nothing within its bounds, allowing everything behind it to show through. A TRANSLUCENT drawable is a drawable in any other state, where the drawable will draw some, but not all, of the content within its bounds and at least some content behind the drawable will be visible. If the visibility of the drawable's contents cannot be determined, the safest/best return value is TRANSLUCENT.

Generally a Drawable should be as conservative as possible with the value it returns. For example, if it contains multiple child drawables and only shows one of them at a time, if only one of the children is TRANSLUCENT and the others are OPAQUE then TRANSLUCENT should be returned. You can use the method resolveOpacity(int, int) to perform a standard reduction of two opacities to the appropriate single output.

Note that the returned value does not necessarily take into account a custom alpha or color filter that has been applied by the client through the setAlpha(int) or setColorFilter(ColorFilter) methods. Some subclasses, such as BitmapDrawable, ColorDrawable, and GradientDrawable, do account for the value of setAlpha(int), but the general behavior is dependent upon the implementation of the subclass.

Returns
int Value is PixelFormat.UNKNOWN, PixelFormat.TRANSLUCENT, PixelFormat.TRANSPARENT, or PixelFormat.OPAQUE

getRepeatCount

Added in API level 28
public int getRepeatCount ()

Retrieve the number of times the animation will repeat.

By default, the repeat count in the encoded data is respected. If the value is REPEAT_INFINITE, the animation will repeat as long as it is displayed. If the value is 0, it will play once.

Calling setRepeatCount(int) will make future calls to this method return the value passed to setRepeatCount(int).

Returns
int

inflate

Added in API level 28
public void inflate (Resources r, 
                XmlPullParser parser, 
                AttributeSet attrs, 
                Resources.Theme theme)

Inflate this Drawable from an XML resource optionally styled by a theme. This can't be called more than once for each Drawable. Note that framework may have called this once to create the Drawable instance from XML resource.

Parameters
r Resources: Resources used to resolve attribute values This value cannot be null.

parser XmlPullParser: XML parser from which to inflate this Drawable This value cannot be null.

attrs AttributeSet: Base set of attribute values This value cannot be null.

theme Resources.Theme: Theme to apply, may be null

Throws
IOException
XmlPullParserException

isAutoMirrored

Added in API level 28
public final boolean isAutoMirrored ()

Tells if this Drawable will be automatically mirrored when its layout direction is RTL right-to-left. See LayoutDirection.

Returns
boolean boolean Returns true if this Drawable will be automatically mirrored.

isRunning

Added in API level 28
public boolean isRunning ()

Return whether the animation is currently running.

When this drawable is created, this will return false. A client needs to call start() to start the animation.

Returns
boolean True if the animation is running, false otherwise.

onLayoutDirectionChanged

Added in API level 28
public boolean onLayoutDirectionChanged (int layoutDirection)

Called when the drawable's resolved layout direction changes.

Parameters
layoutDirection int: the new resolved layout direction Value is View.LAYOUT_DIRECTION_LTR, or View.LAYOUT_DIRECTION_RTL

Returns
boolean true if the layout direction change has caused the appearance of the drawable to change such that it needs to be re-drawn, false otherwise

registerAnimationCallback

Added in API level 28
public void registerAnimationCallback (Animatable2.AnimationCallback callback)

Adds a callback to listen to the animation events.

Parameters
callback Animatable2.AnimationCallback: This value cannot be null.

setAlpha

Added in API level 28
public void setAlpha (int alpha)

Specify an alpha value for the drawable. 0 means fully transparent, and 255 means fully opaque.

Parameters
alpha int: Value is between 0 and 255 inclusive

setAutoMirrored

Added in API level 28
public void setAutoMirrored (boolean mirrored)

Set whether this Drawable is automatically mirrored when its layout direction is RTL (right-to left). See LayoutDirection.

Parameters
mirrored boolean: Set to true if the Drawable should be mirrored, false if not.

setColorFilter

Added in API level 28
public void setColorFilter (ColorFilter colorFilter)

Specify an optional color filter for the drawable.

If a Drawable has a ColorFilter, each output pixel of the Drawable's drawing contents will be modified by the color filter before it is blended onto the render target of a Canvas.

Pass null to remove any existing color filter.

Note: Setting a non-null color filter disables tint.

Parameters
colorFilter ColorFilter: This value may be null.

setRepeatCount

Added in API level 28
public void setRepeatCount (int repeatCount)

Specify the number of times to repeat the animation.

By default, the repeat count in the encoded data is respected. If set to REPEAT_INFINITE, the animation will repeat as long as it is displayed. If the value is 0, the animation will play once.

This call replaces the current repeat count. If the encoded data specified a repeat count of 2 (meaning that getRepeatCount() returns 2, the animation will play three times. Calling setRepeatCount(1) will result in playing only twice and getRepeatCount() returning 1.

If the animation is already playing, the iterations that have already occurred count towards the new count. If the animation has already repeated the appropriate number of times (or more), it will finish its current iteration and then stop.

Parameters
repeatCount int: Value is REPEAT_INFINITE or greater

start

Added in API level 28
public void start ()

Start the animation.

Does nothing if the animation is already running. If the animation is stopped, this will reset it.

When the drawable is drawn, starting the animation, Animatable2.AnimationCallback#onAnimationStart will be called.

stop

Added in API level 28
public void stop ()

Stop the animation.

If the animation is stopped, it will continue to display the frame it was displaying when stopped.

unregisterAnimationCallback

Added in API level 28
public boolean unregisterAnimationCallback (Animatable2.AnimationCallback callback)

Removes the specified animation callback.

Parameters
callback Animatable2.AnimationCallback: This value cannot be null.

Returns
boolean false if callback didn't exist in the call back list, or true if callback has been removed successfully.

Protected methods

onBoundsChange

Added in API level 28
protected void onBoundsChange (Rect bounds)

Override this in your subclass to change appearance if you vary based on the bounds.

Parameters
bounds Rect: This value cannot be null.
