If you don't want to use Glide, just add this to your dependencies and create your unique 'gif'. Check for the latest version before use. ImageView:

implementation 'pl.droidsonroids.gif:android-gif-drawable:1.2.19'

Works very efficiently with minimal lines of code. An example is:

<pl.droidsonroids.gif.GifImageView
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:id="@+id/dancer"
        android:src="@drawable/maddancer" />
