I think GifDrawable should be designed to open pictures that are not GIF format.

Firstly, thank you for you project. It help me a lot ! but I have this issues.

When I use this project in the way of XML：

    <pl.droidsonroids.gif.GifImageView
        android:id="@+id/expression_image"
        android:layout_width="150dp"
        android:layout_height="150dp"
        android:src="@drawable/bg"/>

it can show picture which is not gif format

so why GifDrawable is designed to show the picture whic is only gif format?

Sometimes , I hava this need: I open an inputStream from a picture uri, but the uri may be from gif , png or other format,I want to show image through the gifDrawable,but it occurs error(103,Data is not in GIF format)

it is not friendly, I think it should automatically to show all format images rather than throws an error

Sorry, for the delay.
Currently, GifImageView tries to load resource set using android:src as GifDrawable and falls back to default ImageView behavior if src is not a GIF.
On the other hand, GifDrawable works at the lower level of abstraction and supports only GIFs. There is no code to handle other image formats at this level.

I think that I can optionally add fabric methods like createFromPath which return type is Drawable.
