Solution 1

The link have nice working example you can check this out. There are lots of tutorial over there on net, by which you can do this. As far as i know android can not play gif without webview, but this tutorial shows how to do it with image view(i haven't tried it).

Solution 2

I did it with a WebView

WebView webView = (WebView) view.findViewById(R.id.webView);
webView.getSettings().setLoadWithOverviewMode(true);
webView.getSettings().setUseWideViewPort(true);
webView.loadUrl(URL_IMAGE);

with setLoadWithOverviewMode() and setUseWideViewPort() methods will show content fits on screen.

You can use each frame of a gif to create an animation using AnimationDrawable.
