using ffmpeg to convert gif to mp4 , output doesn't play on android

I just use the following command to convert a gif file to mp4 but the resulting mp4 file doesn't play in android default video player .
what did I wrong ?
is there any aditional steps should I take to produce android playable mp4 files ?

$ ffmpeg -f gif -i infile.gif outfile.mp4

my test gif file : Test Gif File
My desktop played the output.mp4 very well using VLC Media Player and also MX Player on my android device played the video file without any error.

Try this:

ffmpeg -i file.gif -movflags faststart -pix_fmt yuv420p -vf "scale=trunc(iw/2)*2:trunc(ih/2)*2" out.mp4
