I try to show a GIF image as loading placeholder in image view - with
Glide Library
:
Glide.with(context)
.load(ImageUrl())
.placeholder(R.drawable.loading2)
.asGif()
.crossFade()
.into(image);
I try to show this file
loading2.gif
but get this error :
Error:(54, 86) error: cannot find symbol method asGif()
How can I show GIF file with Glide in a imageView?

The above answer didn't work for me. The below code works.
ImageView imageView = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.imageView);
GlideDrawableImageViewTarget imageViewTarget = new GlideDrawableImageViewTarget(imageView);
Glide.with(this).load(R.raw.sample_gif).into(imageViewTarget);

I had this same problem. You can resolve it by moving where the asGif() is located. It must come directly before .load().
So change:
Glide.with(context)
.load(ImageUrl())
.placeholder(R.drawable.loading2)
.asGif()
Glide.with(context)
.asGif()
.load(ImageUrl())
.placeholder(R.drawable.loading2)
Here is another example. I have observed that Glide doesn't play Gif automatically sometimes. This solution worked for me:
In the example, imageView is one of the members in the RecyclerView's ViewHolder class.
Glide.with(itemView.getContext())
.asGif()
.load(thumbPath)
.placeholder(ResourcesCompat.getDrawable(context.getResources(),
R.drawable.image_loading_placeholder, null))
.centerCrop()
.into(new ImageViewTarget<GifDrawable>(imageView) {
@Override
protected void setResource(@Nullable GifDrawable resource) {
imageView.setImageDrawable(resource);
The method .asGif() needs to be used earlier or it will not be recognized
Use GlideDrawableImageViewTarget. This code works for me.
GlideDrawableImageViewTarget imageViewTarget = new GlideDrawableImageViewTarget(imageView);
Glide.with(this).load(R.drawable.logo_gif).into(imageViewTarget);

implementation 'com.github.bumptech.glide:glide:4.8.0'
annotationProcessor 'com.github.bumptech.glide:compiler:4.8.0'
Visit this link To create GlideApp class:
You can directly give drawable reference on GlideApp
GlideApp.with(this).load(R.drawable.ic_loader).into(mBinding.progressBar);
If you get any error, please let me know.

put your gif in raw folder and the use this below code also add the below
dependency in your gradle
//for glide
implementation 'com.github.bumptech.glide:glide:4.12.0'
annotationProcessor 'com.github.bumptech.glide:compiler:4.12.0'
ImageView layoutAnim;
//load gif file to imageView where layoutanim is my imageView
Glide.with(this).asGif().load(R.raw.backloader).into(layoutAnim);
I'm using Glide version 4.11 and for me it did work setting .asGif() right after Glide.with(context).
But I had another problem, I've also set .dontAnimate() when loading gif into ImageView. Apparently this doesn't work, so I had to remove .dontAnimate() from my setup, and everything worked after that change.
Here is issue for more info https://github.com/bumptech/glide/issues/3395
Glide.with(a).load(item[position])
.thumbnail(Glide.with(a).load(R.drawable.preloader))
.fitCenter()
.crossFade()
.into(imageView);
Try this. It worked for me and will work for your code too.It works for both images as well as gifs too.
ImageView imageView = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.test_image);
GlideDrawableImageViewTarget imagePreview = new GlideDrawableImageViewTarget(imageView);
Glide
.with(this)
.load(url)
.listener(new RequestListener<String, GlideDrawable>() {
@Override
public boolean onException(Exception e, String model, Target<GlideDrawable> target, boolean isFirstResource) {
return false;
@Override
public boolean onResourceReady(GlideDrawable resource, String model, Target<GlideDrawable> target, boolean isFromMemoryCache, boolean isFirstResource) {
return false;
.into(imagePreview);
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:id="@+id/ImageContainer"
android:background="#fff"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<ImageView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:id="@+id/loadingImageView"
android:layout_centerInParent="true"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
<ImageView
android:id="@+id/mainImageView"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:scaleType="centerCrop"
android:layout_centerInParent="true"
</RelativeLayout>
instead of using one, use 2 ImageViews
Put loading gif in first ImageView using the solution given by @Preetam
ImageView loadingImageView = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.loadingImageView);
GlideDrawableImageViewTarget loadingImageViewTarget = new GlideDrawableImageViewTarget(loadingImageView);
Glide.with(this).load(R.raw.spinner).into(loadingImageViewTarget);
Load Image from network in the second ImageView
(Order is important if you don't want to hide the loading gif once
the image from network is loaded)
ImageView mainImageView = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.mainImageView);
GlideDrawableImageViewTarget mainImageViewTarget = new GlideDrawableImageViewTarget(mainImageView);
Glide.with(this).load(imageUrl).into(mainImageViewTarget);
Instead of GlideDrawableImageViewTarget use DrawableImageViewTarget
ImageView imageView =findViewById(R.id.imageView);
DrawableImageViewTarget imageViewTarget = new DrawableImageViewTarget (imageView);
Glide.with(this).load(R.raw.image_loader).into(imageViewTarget);
