How to load GIF image in Swift?
IosSwiftUiimageviewUiviewanimationIos Problem Overview
I have a String with an URL of GIF banner which I need to put into app.
My code:
func showAdd(){
Request.get("http://www.kyst.no/api/?apiMode=advertisement&lang=no", { (error: NSError?, data: NSData, text: NSString?) -> () in
let jsonResult: Dictionary = NSJSONSerialization.JSONObjectWithData(data, options: NSJSONReadingOptions.MutableContainers, error: nil) as Dictionary<String, AnyObject>
var banner : NSString = jsonResult["advertisement"]!["banner"] as NSString
self.addViewImage.image = UIImage.animatedImageNamed(banner, duration: 1)
})
}
But nothing happens. Please help.

Load GIF image Swift :
#1 : Copy the swift file from This Link :
#2 : Load GIF image Using Name
let jeremyGif = UIImage.gifImageWithName("funny")
let imageView = UIImageView(image: jeremyGif)
imageView.frame = CGRect(x: 20.0, y: 50.0, width: self.view.frame.size.width - 40, height: 150.0)
view.addSubview(imageView)
#3 : Load GIF image Using Data
let imageData = try? Data(contentsOf: Bundle.main.url(forResource: "play", withExtension: "gif")!)
let advTimeGif = UIImage.gifImageWithData(imageData!)
let imageView2 = UIImageView(image: advTimeGif)
imageView2.frame = CGRect(x: 20.0, y: 220.0, width:
self.view.frame.size.width - 40, height: 150.0)
view.addSubview(imageView2)
#4 : Load GIF image Using URL
let gifURL : String = "http://www.gifbin.com/bin/4802swswsw04.gif"
let imageURL = UIImage.gifImageWithURL(gifURL)
let imageView3 = UIImageView(image: imageURL)
imageView3.frame = CGRect(x: 20.0, y: 390.0, width: self.view.frame.size.width - 40, height: 150.0)
view.addSubview(imageView3)
OUTPUT :
iPhone 8 / iOS 11 / xCode 9

Simple extension for local gifs. Gets all the images from the gif and adds it to the imageView animationImages.
extension UIImageView {
static func fromGif(frame: CGRect, resourceName: String) -> UIImageView? {
guard let path = Bundle.main.path(forResource: resourceName, ofType: "gif") else {
print("Gif does not exist at that path")
return nil
}
let url = URL(fileURLWithPath: path)
guard let gifData = try? Data(contentsOf: url),
let source = CGImageSourceCreateWithData(gifData as CFData, nil) else { return nil }
var images = [UIImage]()
let imageCount = CGImageSourceGetCount(source)
for i in 0 ..< imageCount {
if let image = CGImageSourceCreateImageAtIndex(source, i, nil) {
images.append(UIImage(cgImage: image))
}
}
let gifImageView = UIImageView(frame: frame)
gifImageView.animationImages = images
return gifImageView
}
}
To Use:
guard let confettiImageView = UIImageView.fromGif(frame: view.frame, resourceName: "confetti") else { return }
view.addSubview(confettiImageView)
confettiImageView.startAnimating()
Repeat and duration customizations using UIImageView APIs.
confettiImageView.animationDuration = 3
confettiImageView.animationRepeatCount = 1
When you are done animating the gif and want to release the memory.
confettiImageView.animationImages = nil

First install a pod :-
pod 'SwiftGifOrigin'
and import in your class
import SwiftGifOrigin
then write this code in viewDidiload method
yourImageView.image = UIImage.gif(name: "imageName")
Note:- plz do not include the file extension in the gif file name. Ex:-
//Don't Do this
yourImageView.image = UIImage.gif(name: "imageName.gif")

You can try this new library. JellyGif respects Gif frame duration while being highly CPU & Memory performant. It works great with UITableViewCell & UICollectionViewCell too. To get started you just need to
import JellyGif
let imageView = JellyGifImageView(frame: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: 100, height: 100))
//Animates Gif from the main bundle
imageView.startGif(with: .name("Gif name"))
//Animates Gif with a local path
let url = URL(string: "Gif path")!
imageView.startGif(with: .localPath(url))
//Animates Gif with data
imageView.startGif(with: .data(Data))
For more information you can look at its README
Solution 6 - Ios
it would be great if somebody told to put gif into any folder instead of assets folder
Solution 7 - Ios
This is working for me
Podfile:
platform :ios, '9.0'
use_frameworks!
target '<Your Target Name>' do
pod 'SwiftGifOrigin', '~> 1.7.0'
end
Usage:
// An animated UIImage
let jeremyGif = UIImage.gif(name: "jeremy")
// A UIImageView with async loading
let imageView = UIImageView()
imageView.loadGif(name: "jeremy")
// A UIImageView with async loading from asset catalog(from iOS9)
let imageView = UIImageView()
imageView.loadGif(asset: "jeremy")
