Gifs dont play when using ImageRequest target onSuccess

[tyczj]

I am trying to load a gif from file like this

_contentImage.load(File(image))
    {
        crossfade(true)
        listener(onError = { _, error ->
            Log.d(SUBTAG, "Error -> ${error.message}")
        },
            onSuccess = { _, _ ->
                Log.d(SUBTAG, "Content image loaded")
                contentImageLoaded = true
                checkContentLoaded()
            })
        target(
            onSuccess = { result ->
                Palette.from(result.toBitmap()).generate {
                    if (it != null) {
                        val paletteColor = it.getDominantColor(color)
                        _constraintLayout.setBackgroundColor(paletteColor)
                    }
                }
                _contentImage.setImageBitmap(result.toBitmap())
            }
        )
    }

This works fine for images but if the file is a gif the gif does not animate. If I remove the target section of the ImageRequest builder the gif plays as expected.

What I suspect is the issue here is the line _contentImage.setImageBitmap(result.toBitmap()) in the onSuccess but this is the only way I was able to actually get images to show in the imageview, without that nothing ever appeared so perhaps I am doing something wrong there causing gifs not to animate?

You're converting the drawable to a bitmap which is a static image. You need to set the drawable on the ImageView and do (result as Animatable).start().
