Five quick animations in Compose

These 5 quick and easy animations can help make your app come to life in just a few minutes. Make your Compose app stand out even if you don't have the time to learn everything there is to know about animations.

Key points

  • Wrap changing visible states in an AnimatedVisibility composable to transform how state changes show on screen.
  • To smoothly transition between two states, use the built-in modifier animateContentSize.
  • Wrap a when conditional in an AnimatedContent composable to switch content based on the provided target states.
  • Use animate*AsState functions to perform the animation when the state of your input variable changes.
  • Compose triggers a redraw as variables change over time, creating an animation on screen.
