Libgdx loader for Animation.class

I need to set loader in assetmanager for Animation.class, i used Gifloader,that loads completly animation from GifDecoder(that creates animation from gif) but get error: https://i.stack.imgur.com/HkrWe.png , error on build: https://i.stack.imgur.com/2Mpaz.png setloader line:

manager.setLoader(Animation.class, new Gifloader(new InternalFileHandleResolver()))

please anyone help me

I could only make this work in the syncloader and not in the asyncloader is problably because it takes too much resources.

Too avoid the errors i made a GIF class to wrap the Animation this is also to dispose the texture when its no longer needed if this is not done it will create a memory leak.

public class GIF implements Disposable {

    public Animation<TextureRegion> animation;
    public Texture texture;

    public GIF( Animation<TextureRegion> animation ) {

        Object[] object = animation.getKeyFrames();

        this.animation = animation;
        this.texture = ((TextureRegion) object[ 0 ]).getTexture();
    }

    @Override
    public void dispose() {

        texture.dispose();
    }
}

Here is the asset loader code:

public class Gifloader extends AsynchronousAssetLoader<GIF, Gifloader.GifloaderParameter> {

    private Animation<TextureRegion> animation;

    public Gifloader(FileHandleResolver resolver) {

        super(resolver);

        this.animation = null;
    }

    @Override
    public void loadAsync(AssetManager manager, String fileName, FileHandle file, GifloaderParameter parameter) {


    }

    @Override
    public GIF loadSync(AssetManager manager, String fileName, FileHandle file, GifloaderParameter parameter) {

        PlayMode playMode = PlayMode.LOOP;

        if ( parameter != null ){
            playMode = parameter.playMode;
        }

        animation = (GifDecoder.loadGIFAnimation( playMode, file.read() ));

        return new GIF( animation );
    }

    @SuppressWarnings( "rawtypes" )
    @Override
    public Array<AssetDescriptor> getDependencies(String fileName, FileHandle file, GifloaderParameter parameter) {

        return null;
    }

    public static class GifloaderParameter extends AssetLoaderParameters<GIF> {

        public PlayMode playMode = PlayMode.LOOP;
    }
}
