@ohos.multimedia.movingphotoview (MovingPhotoView)
The MovingPhotoView component is used to play moving photos and control the playback status.
NOTE
This component is supported since API version 12. Updates will be marked with a superscript to indicate their earliest API version. Currently, the MovingPhotoView component cannot be used in Previewer.
Modules to Import
NOTE
- MovingPhotoViewAttribute is essential for configuring the MovingPhotoView component. In API version 21 and earlier, you must manually import MovingPhotoViewAttribute after importing the MovingPhotoView component. Otherwise, a compilation error is reported. However, starting from API version 22, the compilation toolchain automatically imports MovingPhotoViewAttribute when it detects the MovingPhotoView component, so manual import is no longer necessary.
- If you manually import MovingPhotoViewAttribute, DevEco Studio shows it as disabled (grayed out). In API version 21 and earlier, removing this import causes a compilation error. But from API version 22 onward, removing it does not affect the functionality.
API version 21 and earlier:
import { MovingPhotoView, MovingPhotoViewController, MovingPhotoViewAttribute } from '@kit.MediaLibraryKit';
API version 22 and later:
import { MovingPhotoView, MovingPhotoViewController } from '@kit.MediaLibraryKit';
MovingPhotoView
NOTE
- Currently, live attributes cannot be set.
- Currently, expandSafeArea in the ArkUI common attribute ComponentOptions cannot be set.
- When this component is long pressed to trigger playback, the component area is zoomed in to 1.1 times.
- This component uses AVPlayer to play moving photos. A maximum of three AVPlayers can be used at the same time. Otherwise, frame freezing may occur.
