flutter animated splash screen (gif)

Question

in drawable folder i added gif image file(splashscreen.gif)

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!-- Modify this file to customize your launch splash screen -->
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <item android:drawable="@drawable/splashscreen" />

    <!-- You can insert your own image assets here -->
    <!-- <item>
        <bitmap android:gravity="center" android:src="@mipmap/launch_image" />
    </item> -->
</layer-list>

and i add like this. but only first image of gif is shown. how can i use animated splash screen or gif image?
i saw how to make splash screen but almost they make other class(like MyApp) and use navigator but for me i need http call and location reqeust before run app. so i need slpash screen before run app.

Solution

You cannot add animated splash screens, splash screens need to be static images. You can add the first image of your .gif as a splash screen, then navigate to another page that has the same starting view as your splash screen image, request what you need to your network services, await for the response, and then animate from there.

That is, essentially, what the iOS Twitter app does when you launch it. Here is its animated "splash screen".
