Transparent Background with gif.

[sjkaris]

I am not entirely sure, but I have tried for a while and never successfully gotten a gif with a transparent background to have a transparent background while playing. For gifs with transparent backgrounds, the GifImageView seems to take the most common color in the gif and use that as a background for the View. Additionally, the background flickers every loop of the gif as the background changes from transparent to filled at the start of each loop.

I could not reproduce any of mentioned issues. I've tried using this animated gif with transparent background: http://www.animatedgif.net/animals/bears/bear1_e0.gif
Could you provide an example of GIF file which is not displayed correctly?

A gif that does not work for me is: http://imgur.com/q3pP1Gq
just to make sure I am using everything correctly:
in my xml file I have:

<pl.droidsonroids.gif.GifImageView
android:id="@+id/rand_poke"
android:layout_margin="@dimen/login_margin"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center"/>


and then in my activity I load the gif image resource:

GifImageView gifView = (GifImageView) dialog.findViewById(R.id.rand_poke);
String uri = PokemonData.randPoke();
int imageResource = getResources().getIdentifier(uri, "drawable", getPackageName());
gifView.setImageResource(imageResource);

OK, your gif is not displayed correctly. I will investigate this.

Background color should be correct now.
