I am using the android-gif-drawable library to display an animated gif in an Android view. This library can load a file from an input stream, byte array, byte buffer, or from a locally stored file. I am looking for a way to use Picasso to download the gif and pass it to the library to load into the GifImageView. Unfortunately, once the downloaded image is converted to a Bitmap, it just becomes a single frame. I'm thinking a custom request handler might be able to hand off an input stream for the GifImageView to load, but I cannot seem to figure out the syntax to do this. Does anyone have pointers or thoughts on doing this?

If you haven't figured it out yet, you can use the library Ion. I was facing the same problem a few days ago, and it worked for me.
