Animated gif images

I'm trying to use an animated gif image in my app for an image sprite and even though the gif seems to work fine on the viewer, when i view it on my tablet the image is not animated just a still picture what appears to be the start of the animation. Any ideas?

It does not look like you have used the forums yet, as a search using the search box above would have returned several threads about this topic.
