Add animated Gif image in Iphone UIImageView

I need to load an animated Gif image from a URL in UIImageview.

When I used the normal code, the image didn't load.

Is there any other way to load animated Gif images?

UIImageView* animatedImageView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithFrame:self.view.bounds];
animatedImageView.animationImages = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:    
                               [UIImage imageNamed:@"image1.gif"],
                               [UIImage imageNamed:@"image2.gif"],
                               [UIImage imageNamed:@"image3.gif"],
                               [UIImage imageNamed:@"image4.gif"], nil];
animatedImageView.animationDuration = 1.0f;
animatedImageView.animationRepeatCount = 0;
[animatedImageView startAnimating];
[self.view addSubview: animatedImageView];

You can load more than one gif images.

You can split your gif using the following ImageMagick command:

convert +adjoin loading.gif out%d.gif

This has found an accepted answered, but I recently came across the UIImage+animatedGIF UIImage extension. It provides the following category:

+[UIImage animatedImageWithAnimatedGIFURL:(NSURL *)url]

allowing you to simply:

#import "UIImage+animatedGIF.h"
UIImage* mygif = [UIImage animatedImageWithAnimatedGIFURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Rotating_earth_(large).gif"]];

Works like magic.

Here is the best solution to use Gif Image. Add SDWebImage from Github in your project.

#import "UIImage+GIF.h"

_imageViewAnimatedGif.image= [UIImage sd_animatedGIFNamed:@"thumbnail"];

Check this link

https://github.com/mayoff/uiimage-from-animated-gif/blob/master/uiimage-from-animated-gif/UIImage%2BanimatedGIF.h

and import these clases UIImage+animatedGIF.h,UIImage+animatedGIF.m

Use this code

 NSURL *urlZif = [[NSBundle mainBundle] URLForResource:@"dots64" withExtension:@"gif"];
 NSString *path=[[NSBundle mainBundle]pathForResource:@"bar180" ofType:@"gif"];
 NSURL *url=[[NSURL alloc] initFileURLWithPath:path];
 imageVw.image= [UIImage animatedImageWithAnimatedGIFURL:url];

Hope this is helpfull
