title: How does one load .gif images from the Android Mediastore
body: <p>i need to load a couple of gifs into a custom gallery view.
  using the mediastore only provides me with png/jpg image types.
  after a couple of hours googleing i still could not find the answer..</p>
  
  <p>the code i use to load images from the mediastore is:</p>
  
  <pre><code>    final String sortOrder = mPreferences.getSortMode();
  
      final Uri uri = android.provider.MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI;
  
      String[] projection = { MediaStore.MediaColumns.DATA,
              MediaStore.Images.Media.BUCKET_ID, MediaStore.Images.Media.DISPLAY_NAME };
  
      final Cursor cursor = mContext.getContentResolver().query(uri, projection, null,
              null, sortOrder);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>thnx!</p>
