ImageView with Spinner

I have a GridView displaying thumbnails using ImageViews. I am showing the default image when thumbnails are loaded from the background (based on native apps) i.e. The getView () class of my adapter first returns the default bitmap and then starts a background thread and replaces the default with the actual one later.

The GridViews in the iPhone app displays a spinner (Animated GIF) instead of the default image.

How can you achieve this kind of thing in Android?
