How to Paste a GIF (keyboard).

gistfile1.txt

/*

Make sure your using a GIF extension for UIImage... Most UIIMageViews will play it automatically w/ extensions.

I used this one ... https://github.com/mayoff/uiimage-from-animated-gif

This one is more effecient but more code too... https://github.com/Flipboard/FLAnimatedImage

*/

-(void)viewDidLoad
{
//Still trying to figure out why this is needed, can't paste the gif without it, but I get the double Paste action anywhere else.
    [UIMenuController sharedMenuController].menuItems = @[[[UIMenuItem alloc] initWithTitle:@"Paste" action:@selector(customAction:)]];
}

-(void)customAction:(id)sender
{
// Depending on the keyboard, your going to have to check for this "data", somewhere, sometimes it might be a url, other times its hidden in these "data types", which is like a dictionary.

    NSLog(@"%@ %@ %@", [UIPasteboard generalPasteboard].pasteboardTypes, [UIPasteboard generalPasteboard].URLs, [UIPasteboard generalPasteboard].images);
    
   NSData *gifData = [[UIPasteboard generalPasteboard] dataForPasteboardType:(NSString *)[UIPasteboard generalPasteboard].pasteboardTypes.firstObject];

//Not neccessary but I'm just double checking.
    if ([UIPasteboard generalPasteboard].image && gifData)
    {
    //Whatever your extension tells you to do.
        UIImage *image = [UIImage animatedImageWithAnimatedGIFData:gifData];
        
// If you want you can test it 
//      UIImageView *imageView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:image];
//      [self.view addSubview:imageView];

//Add it to your UITextView, but make sure you can retrieve it back out. Can't animate inside textView.
        NSTextAttachment *textAttachment = [[NSTextAttachment alloc] init];
        textAttachment.image = image;
        NSAttributedString *string = [NSAttributedString attributedStringWithAttachment:textAttachment];
       //For some reason, the font gets tinnier, so I have to save it before the paste.
         UIFont *font = self.inputToolbar.contentView.textView.font;
        self.inputToolbar.contentView.textView.attributedText = string;
        self.inputToolbar.contentView.textView.font = font;
    }
}

How do I 'retrieve image back out' and make it animate?
