An optimized implementation of GifDecoder for Android devices.

README.txt

Implementation of GifDecoder that is more memory efficient to animate for Android devices.
This implementation does not house in memory a Bitmap for every image frame. Images are instead decoded
on-the-fly, and only the minimum data to create the next frame in the sequence is kept.  The
implementation has also been adapted to reduce memory allocations in the decoding process to reduce
time to render each frame.

/**
 * Reads frame data from a GIF image source and decodes it into individual frames
 * for animation purposes.  Image data can be read from either and InputStream source
 * or a byte[].
 *
 * This class is optimized for running animations with the frames, there
 * are no methods to get individual frame images, only to decode the next frame in the
 * animation sequence.  Instead, it lowers its memory footprint by only housing the minimum
 * data necessary to decode the next frame in the animation sequence.
 *
 * The animation must be manually moved forward using {@link #advance()} before requesting the next
 * frame.  This method must also be called before you request the first frame or an error will
 * occur.

Do you have any idea on what causes/how to fix the ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException on line 449?

I am now using this code to decode gif. Most of images can be decoded well, but for some ones (like format GIF89a, you can find such images on http://9gag.com), this doesn't work well. Please help to check. Thanks!

I want to show animated gifs in a ListView downloaded from a web. So, I use GifDecoder to build AnimationDrawable from all the frames for every image in a list, but images are static.
Here is the code:

final AnimationDrawable animationDrawable = new AnimationDrawable();
final GifDecoder gifDecoder = new GifDecoder();
gifDecoder.read(data); //data is a byte array
final int frameCount = gifDecoder.getFrameCount();
for (int i = 0; i < frameCount; i++) {
gifDecoder.advance();
bitmap = gifDecoder.getNextFrame();
int delay = gifDecoder.getDelay(i);
android.util.Log.v("Decode", "===>Frame " + i + ": " + delay + "]");
animationDrawable.addFrame(new BitmapDrawable(bitmap), delay);
}
Could you please help me to clarify what the problem is?

Thanks

It uses 30% CPU on my Nexus 4 to play an animated gif with fairly fast frame sequences. It shouldn't be hard to port to C and call with JNI?

But CPU usage increases.
My app displays many gif at the same time.
How do I reduce CPU usage?
Thanks!

Did anyone have a problem where this gifDecoder interprets black color (0x000000) as transparent?

o-antsiferov ->
Replace
bitmap = gifDecoder.getNextFrame();
with
bitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(gifDecoder.getNextFrame());
and AnimationDrawable should work fine.

If you want the gif to display with transparent background, change these lines

previousImage = Bitmap.createBitmap(width, height, Bitmap.Config.RGB_565);
currentImage = Bitmap.createBitmap(width, height, Bitmap.Config.RGB_565);

to

previousImage = Bitmap.createBitmap(width, height, Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888);
currentImage = Bitmap.createBitmap(width, height, Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888);

Does anyone know how do we get the previous frame in the gif with the help of this gif decoder ? You can only get the next frame in the gif list. Is there a way you can access the previous frame or an i-th frame of the gif ?

If anyone stumbles across this, I would just like to point out that this version doesn't implement deferred clear codes (in LZW), so GIFs that implement that part of the spec will appear broken.

@smdmustaffa the frames can build upon each other, so you can't go backwards, you have to start from 0th to get ith, but you can generate all like https://gist.github.com/devunwired/4479231#gistcomment-990915 did and then random-access to your heart's content.

Hello!

I am using this code for a Gif manipulation but encountered a problem. If I read an image it is not complete. It looks like the drawing stopped near the end of the process. The Gif file is 485x240px and I tried to raise the MAX_STACK_SIZE but it didn't help.

Thankful for any inspiration!

@Sacredgamer I am facing the same problem, try this
https://github.com/shaopx/InCompleteGifDecoder
it helps me .

how to get fisrt frame of gif

when i decode a large gif file about 5M,throws ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException on line 398.

Thanks for this information, it saved my day.

Gracias
