Additive animations for Android! An easy way to additively animate a huge number of properties.
Get a good overview of this library here: https://medium.com/@david.gansterd/bringing-smooth-animation-transitions-to-android-88786347e512
Here is a sample of what additive animations can do to the user experience (note: there seem to be a few dropped frames in the gif which aren't present when running on a device):
The amount code required to produce this animation is trivial:
public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
AdditiveAnimator.animate(animatedView).x(event.getX()).y(event.getY()).setDuration(1000).start();
return true;
}Additionally, AdditiveAnimator supports animating multiple views simultaneously without any boilerplate:
new AdditiveAnimator().setDuration(1000)
.target(myView1).x(100).y(100)
.target(myView2).xBy(20).yBy(20)
.start();To use AdditiveAnimator in your project, add the following lines to your build.gradle:
dependencies {
compile 'at.wirecube:additive_animations:1.3'
}
...
repositories {
jcenter()
}
