Tutorial :: Gif animation in S60 3rd ed

[comp_freak]

Hi All,

Since i have been seeing many people are creating threads and posts asking for gif animation code in S60 3rd ed.
Here is the code for all


//put this code in the constructor function
iGifFileDataprovider= new (ELeave) CICLAnimationDataProvider;
iGifFileDataprovider->SetFileL(iFsSession,_L("C:\\rotating.gif"));

igifanimationconfig.iFlags = TAnimationConfig::ELoop;
igifanimationconfig.iData = 10000;
TPoint gifpoint = Position();
iGifAnimatior = CBasicAnimation::NewL(iGifFileDataprovider,gifpoint,CEikonEnv::Static()->WsSession(),Window());
iGifAnimatior->Start(igifanimationconfig);

//put this code in the draw function
iGifAnimatior->Draw(gc);

I'd like to know header code.
Please tell us.

Is it required to add animation.lib?

Hi mic_dcl,

Yes, you need to add the animation.lib to your mmp

Hi,

Thanks for the code, can I ask if it works on S60 3 or S60 3 FP1 or both.


Thanks Rami

In my environment, animation.lib doesn't exist.
(animation.dll exists.)
So, following error occurs though animation.lib is added to Libraries.

the file 'ICLAnimationDataProvider.h' cannot be opened
undefined identifier 'CICLAnimationDataProvider'
･･･
･･･

My environment is
・WindowsXP
・S60-SDK-0616-3[1].0-mr.3.749
・Extensions_plugin_S60_3rd_ed
・OpenGL_ES_1[1].1_plug-in_For_S60_3_0_SDK

Is special instration is required?

[mic_dcl]

I found following sentence in 3rd Edition MR releaseNote.txt.

===
The following files have been removed. Corresponding functionality is
not present in all (or in some) S60 devices:

Epoc32\include\animationconfig.h
Epoc32\include\iclanimationdataprovider.h
･･･
===

so, I'm looking for alternative way to show animated gif.
