I want to display an animated picture, whatever its format, in Flutter. The fact is that currently there seems to be only one solution available, video_loader. This works only on full screen, but it doesn't fit my use case.
Any idea on how I could sort this out?
Now, Image widget Supports GIF. (April 18)
For Ex.
new Image(image: new AssetImage("assets/ajax-loader.gif"))
You can split the frames into separate images using https://ezgif.com/split and add them as assets in your pubspec.yaml.
Then use an Animation<int>
to select the correct frame to display. Make sure to set gaplessPlayback: true
to avoid flickering.
For example, the following code displays the frames of an animated GIF that was created by Guillaume Kurkdjian.
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
void main() {
runApp(new MyApp());
}
class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return new MaterialApp(
theme: new ThemeData.dark(),
home: new MyHomePage(),
);
}
}
class MyHomePage extends StatefulWidget {
@override
State createState() => new MyHomePageState();
}
class MyHomePageState extends State<MyHomePage> with TickerProviderStateMixin {
AnimationController _controller;
Animation<int> _animation;
@override
void initState() {
_controller = new AnimationController(vsync: this, duration: const Duration(seconds: 5))
..repeat();
_animation = new IntTween(begin: 0, end: 116).animate(_controller);
}
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return new Scaffold(
body: new Column(
mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.center,
children: <Widget>[
new AnimatedBuilder(
animation: _animation,
builder: (BuildContext context, Widget child) {
String frame = _animation.value.toString().padLeft(3, '0');
return new Image.asset(
'assets/frame_${frame}_delay-0.04s.png',
gaplessPlayback: true,
);
},
),
new Text('Image: Guillaume Kurkdjian', style: new TextStyle(fontStyle: FontStyle.italic)),
],
),
);
}
}
