在firemonkey应用程序中播放gif图片动画

Question

How I can play gif picture animation using Firemonkey that will be used in Android and iOS app ?

I am using Delphi XE 8.

Note: I saw this question Animated GIF in Firemonkey but I dont have the animation as sprites only as a single gif file.

Due to how Firemonkey works with images and bitmaps, TGIFImage doesn't exist anymore.

So the easiest way of doing this is by using a TWebBrowser component and then loading your .gif file into that component

For Firemonkey Apps you can set the deployment of files for each different platform, but in the case of a Windows Firemonkey App you can add your .gif files to your project and then set the URL to the local file (or you can set it to a remote URL if you want to use a gif that you don't have)

And to get your gif in the browser for Win simply set the gif as the URL

WebBrowser1.URL := 'file://'+ ExtractFilePath(ParamStr(0))+'images\somegif.gif';
WebBrowser1.Navigate;
