    		\nacross multiple lines, paragraphs
            	\nand pages"

Animations in Jetpack Compose

  • Single Value Animations with animate*AsState() methods
  • The animateContentSize() Modifier
  • The AnimatedVisibility Composable
  • Single Value Animations with animate*AsState() methods
  • Repeated Animations with Animatable
  • Utilizing transitions to make solid animations

The animate*AsState() methods

The fire-and-forget functions to create single value based animations.

  • Previously, the animate() method. - DEPRECATED
  • The animatedColorAsState() for Colors
  • The animatedDpAsState() for DP values
  • And more...

The animate*AsState() methods - 1

@Composable
fun ScaleAndColorAnimation() {
    val enabled = remember { mutableStateOf(true) }
    
    val color: Color by animateColorAsState(
        if (enabled.value) Color.Blue else Colors.green)
        
    val height: Dp by animateDpAsState(if (enabled.value) 40.dp else 60.dp)
    val width: Dp by animateDpAsState(if (enabled.value) 150.dp else 300.dp)
    
    Button(
        onClick = { enabled.value = !enabled.value },
        colors = ButtonDefaults.buttonColors(backgroundColor = color),
        modifier = Modifier
            .padding(16.dp)
            .preferredHeight(height)
            .preferredWidth(width),
    ) {
        Text("Scale & Color")
    }
}

The animate*AsState() methods - 2

@Composable
fun GenderSelectAnimation() {
  val female = remember { mutableStateOf(true) }
  Row(horizontalArrangement = Arrangement.Center,
      modifier = Modifier.padding(8.dp).fillMaxWidth(),
      verticalAlignment = Alignment.CenterVertically
  ) {
      Image(
        painter = painterResource(R.drawable.male),
        contentDescription = "Male Image",
        contentScale = ContentScale.Crop,
        modifier = Modifier
            .preferredSize(animateDpAsState(if (female.value) 100.dp else 250.dp).value)
            .border(width = animateDpAsState(if (female.value) 0.dp else 4.dp).value,
                color = animateColorAsState(if (female.value) Color.Transparent else Color.Red).value)
            .padding(8.dp)
            .clickable { female.value = !female.value }
      )
      Image(
        painter = painterResource(R.drawable.female),
        contentDescription = "Female Image",
        contentScale = ContentScale.Crop,
        modifier = Modifier
        // ... 
        // Like previous image
      )
  }
}

Animations in Jetpack Compose

  • Repeated Animations with Animatable
  • The animateContentSize() Modifier
  • The AnimatedVisibility Composable
  • Single Value Animations with animate methods
  • Repeated Animations with Animatable
  • Utilizing transitions to make solid animations

Repeated Animations with Animatable

@Composable
fun HeartBeatDemo() {
    val animScale = remember { Animatable(initialValue = 1f) }
    val animColor = remember { Animatable(initialValue = Color.Red) }

    LaunchedEffect(animScale) {
        animScale.animateTo(
            targetValue = 2f,
            animationSpec = infiniteRepeatable(
                animation = tween(durationMillis = 300, delayMillis = 1000),
                repeatMode = RepeatMode.Reverse
            )
        )
    }

    LaunchedEffect(animColor) {
        animColor.animateTo(
            targetValue = Color.Blue,
            animationSpec = repeatable(iterations = 2,
                animation = tween(durationMillis = 300, delayMillis = 1000),
                repeatMode = RepeatMode.Reverse
            )
        )
    }

    Image(imageVector = Icons.Default.Favorite,
    	contentDescription = "Favourite Icon",
        modifier = Modifier.padding(10.dp).size((40*animScale.value).dp),
        colorFilter = ColorFilter.tint(animColor.value)
    )
}

Compose Canvas 101

A simple Spacer() to allow you to draw anything on it

@Composable
fun Canvas
(
   modifier: Modifier, 
   onDraw: DrawScope.() -> Unit
) = Spacer(modifier.drawBehind(onDraw))

Compose Canvas 101

DrawScope - Handles the drawing API

drawRect()

drawOval()

drawLine()

drawImage()

drawRoundRect()

drawCircle()

drawArc()

drawPath()

fun DrawScope.drawMyShape() { }

Compose Canvas 101

Custom View Example in Canvas

Canvas(modifier = Modifier.fillMaxSize()) {
    drawCircle(
        color = Color.Red,
        radius = 300f
    )

    drawCircle(
        color = Color.Green,
        radius = 200f
    )

    drawCircle(
        color = Color.Blue,
        radius = 100f
    )
}

Animatable on Canvas

@Composable
fun MovingSquare() {
    val animPosX = remember { Animatable(initialValue = 0f) }
    
    LaunchedEffect(animPosX) {
        animPosX.animateTo(
            targetValue = 500f,
            animationSpec = infiniteRepeatable(
                animation = tween(durationMillis = 1000)
            )
        )
    }

    Canvas(modifier = Modifier.preferredSize(100.dp), onDraw = {
        withTransform({
            translate(left = animPosX.value)
        }) {
            drawRect(color = Color.Red)
        }
    })
}
