Gif Animation for symbian 2nd edition phones

Derive your application container class from MPAlbAnimationObserver, and declare these

CPAlbImageViewerBasic* iViewer ;
void Notify( TAnimationEvent aEvent );

And, in your container,Animation method/function use this code. Dont forget to return count in CountComponentControls() and iViewer pointer in ComponetControl() methods.

iViewer = CPAlbImageViewerBasic::NewL(this,aRect);
iViewer->SetAnimationObserver(this,ETrue); //for looping 
iViewer->LoadImageL(_L("c:\\nokia\\images\\anim.gif"),EColor4K);		
iViewer->PlayAnimationL(); // support image and animation

Symbian 3rd edition phones

iGifFileDataprovider = new (ELeave) CICLAnimationDataProvider;
iGifFileDataprovider->SetFileL(iFsSession,_L("C:\\nokia\\images\\anim.gif")); 
 
igifanimationconfig.iFlags = TAnimationConfig::ELoop;
igifanimationconfig.iData = 10000;
TPoint gifpoint = Position();
iGifAnimatior = CBasicAnimation::NewL(iGifFileDataprovider,gifpoint,CEikonEnv::Static()
 ->WsSession(),Window());
iGifAnimatior->Start(igifanimationconfig);
 
//In your Draw method
iGifAnimatior->Draw(gc);
