Deep Understanding of Physics-based Animations In Android

As of support library 26, Physics-based animations got available in Android, Spring Animation and Fling Animation. Both helps you implement Spring or Fling Animation of views without any complicated code.

How To Start

dependencies {
    ...
    compile "com.android.support:support-dynamic-animation:26.1.0"
}

Spring Animation

Spring Animation has some attributes like stiffness or dumping ratio which determines how view springs.

You can make views moving, rotating, scaling with Spring Animation :)

Rotating

Fling Animation

Fling Animation comes in handy when you want to fling views, and it’s really easy to use.

Set the first velocity and friction. That it.

val flingAnimation = FlingAnimation(yourView, DynamicAnimation.X)
    .setFriction(3f)
    .setStartVelocity(10f)
flingAnimation.start()

Recently, I created a library “CropMe” using Physics-based Animations.

It helps you crop image, is extremely smooth and easy. Please check this out and give me a STAR if you like it!
