Is it possible to use animated .gif images in lbgdx? If not how whats the alternative? We need to include animated buttons.
When I use an animated gif, the animation won't play. This question (and many others) states that Libgdx doesn't support it, I'm wondering if something has changed over the years
Answer
There is a GifDecoder class that turn a .gif file into a libGDX Animation. With it, you can render animated .gifs like this;
public class SandboxGame extends ApplicationAdapter {
SpriteBatch batch;
Animation animation;
float elapsed;
@Override
public void create () {
batch = new SpriteBatch();
animation = GifDecoder.loadGIFAnimation(Animation.PlayMode.LOOP, Gdx.files.internal("throbber.gif").read());
}
@Override
public void render () {
elapsed += Gdx.graphics.getDeltaTime();
Gdx.gl.glClearColor(1, 0, 0, 0);
Gdx.gl.glClear(GL20.GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT);
batch.begin();
batch.draw(animation.getKeyFrame(elapsed), 20.0f, 20.0f);
batch.end();
}
@Override
public void dispose () {
batch.dispose();
}
}
The GifDecoder reads all the frames of the .gif and sticks them into an Array of TextureRegions, this gives you a lot of control of the playback.
The GifDecoder isn't part of the libGDX library, it was written by Johannes Borchardt and converted to libGDX by Anton Person, below is an updated version where I've taken their code and updated it to fit the latest version of libGDX;
