## What it is
An Android ImageView widget that decodes and plays animated GIF images. It supports frame-level callbacks for post-processing, resetting animations, and jumping to specific frames.

## Use cases
- display animated gifs in an android app
- play gif animations in an imageview
- apply filters to gif frames on android
- pause and resume gif playback in android
- show a specific frame of a gif animation

## When to choose
- you need a lightweight drop-in Android view for animated GIFs
- you want per-frame bitmap access for custom processing like blurring

## When to avoid
- you need modern image loading with GIF support via Glide or Coil
- you need animated WebP or APNG support
- you need a library under active development

- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: animation, image-processing, ui-components
