Animated ImageIcon .gif in JLabel

Animated gif is working fine for me.

You can check the delay time between the images in the gif, to see that it's not too short.

Here's a simple example:import java.net.URL;

import javax.imageio.ImageIO;

import javax.imageio.stream.ImageInputStream;

import javax.swing.ImageIcon;

import javax.swing.JDialog;

import javax.swing.JFrame;

import javax.swing.JLabel;

import com.sun.imageio.plugins.gif.GIFImageMetadata;

import com.sun.imageio.plugins.gif.GIFImageReader;

public class AnimatedGifTest {

public static void main(String[] args) {

try {

JFrame frame = new JFrame();

frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JDialog.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);

URL url = new URL("http://www.gifanimations.com/action/SaveImage?path=/Image/Animations/Cartoons/~TS1176984655857/Bart_Simpson_2.gif");

frame.add(new JLabel(new ImageIcon(url)));

frame.pack();

frame.setVisible(true);

// Read the delay time for the first frame in the animated gif

GIFImageReader reader = (GIFImageReader) ImageIO.getImageReadersByFormatName("GIF").next();

ImageInputStream iis = ImageIO.createImageInputStream(url.openStream());

reader.setInput(iis);

GIFImageMetadata md = (GIFImageMetadata) reader.getImageMetadata(0);

System.out.println("Time Delay = " + md.delayTime);

reader.dispose();

iis.close();

} catch (Exception e) {e.printStackTrace();}

}

}
