Yes, it is possible and also very simple. First you set or declare main layout is RelativeLayout, then inside this main layout set your required layout. Both height and width are match_parent. After you set your gif file XML code which is outside of inside layout and inside of main layout.

Something like this:

<RelativeLayout
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent">
    <RelativeLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content">

         *********** here you create your GUI layout *********

    </RelativeLayout>

*************** Here your gif file xml code, here i'm using ex. lib ***********

      <pl.droidsonroids.gif.GifTextView
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            android:background="@drawable/butterflyanimation"
            android:layout_margin="15dp"
            android:layout_centerInParent="true"/>

</RelativeLayout>

In here I am using a third party lib to load the gif file and it's build path is

 compile 'pl.droidsonroids.gif:android-gif-drawable:1.1.+'
