Transition

Kotlin |Java

abstract class Transition : Cloneable

kotlin.Any
↳	androidx.transition.Transition

Known Direct Subclasses ChangeBounds, ChangeClipBounds, ChangeImageTransform, ChangeScroll, ChangeTransform, TransitionSet, Visibility ChangeBounds This transition captures the layout bounds of target views before and after the scene change and animates those changes during the transition. ChangeClipBounds ChangeClipBounds captures the android.view.View#getClipBounds() before and after the scene change and animates those changes during the transition. ChangeImageTransform This Transition captures an ImageView's matrix before and after the scene change and animates it during the transition. ChangeScroll This transition captures the scroll properties of targets before and after the scene change and animates any changes. ChangeTransform This Transition captures scale and rotation for Views before and after the scene change and animates those changes during the transition. TransitionSet A TransitionSet is a parent of child transitions (including other TransitionSets). Visibility This transition tracks changes to the visibility of target views in the start and end scenes.

Known Indirect Subclasses AutoTransition, Explode, Fade, Slide AutoTransition Utility class for creating a default transition that automatically fades, moves, and resizes views during a scene change. Explode This transition tracks changes to the visibility of target views in the start and end scenes and moves views in or out from the edges of the scene. Fade This transition tracks changes to the visibility of target views in the start and end scenes and fades views in or out when they become visible or non-visible. Slide This transition tracks changes to the visibility of target views in the start and end scenes and moves views in or out from one of the edges of the scene.

A Transition holds information about animations that will be run on its targets during a scene change. Subclasses of this abstract class may choreograph several child transitions (TransitionSet or they may perform custom animations themselves. Any Transition has two main jobs: (1) capture property values, and (2) play animations based on changes to captured property values. A custom transition knows what property values on View objects are of interest to it, and also knows how to animate changes to those values. For example, the Fade transition tracks changes to visibility-related properties and is able to construct and run animations that fade items in or out based on changes to those properties.

Note: Transitions may not work correctly with either SurfaceView or TextureView, due to the way that these views are displayed on the screen. For SurfaceView, the problem is that the view is updated from a non-UI thread, so changes to the view due to transitions (such as moving and resizing the view) may be out of sync with the display inside those bounds. TextureView is more compatible with transitions in general, but some specific transitions (such as Fade) may not be compatible with TextureView because they rely on android.view.ViewOverlay functionality, which does not currently work with TextureView.

Transitions can be declared in XML resource files inside the res/transition directory. Transition resources consist of a tag name for one of the Transition subclasses along with attributes to define some of the attributes of that transition. For example, here is a minimal resource file that declares a ChangeBounds transition:

<changeBounds/>
  

Note that attributes for the transition are not required, just as they are optional when declared in code; Transitions created from XML resources will use the same defaults as their code-created equivalents. Here is a slightly more elaborate example which declares a TransitionSet transition with ChangeBounds and Fade child transitions:

<transitionSet xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
           android:transitionOrdering="sequential">
          <changeBounds/>
          <fade android:fadingMode="fade_out">
              <targets>
                  <target android:targetId="@id/grayscaleContainer"/>
              </targets>
          </fade>
      </transitionSet>
  

In this example, the transitionOrdering attribute is used on the TransitionSet object to change from the default TransitionSet#ORDERING_TOGETHER behavior to be TransitionSet#ORDERING_SEQUENTIAL instead. Also, the Fade transition uses a fadingMode of Fade#OUT instead of the default out-in behavior. Finally, note the use of the targets sub-tag, which takes a set of {code target} tags, each of which lists a specific targetId which this transition acts upon. Use of targets is optional, but can be used to either limit the time spent checking attributes on unchanging views, or limiting the types of animations run on specific views. In this case, we know that only the grayscaleContainer will be disappearing, so we choose to limit the Fade transition to only that view.

Summary

Nested classes
abstract	EpicenterCallback Class to get the epicenter of Transition.
abstract	TransitionListener A transition listener receives notifications from a transition.

Constants
static Int	MATCH_ID With setMatchOrder(int...), chooses to match by android.view.View#getId().
static Int	MATCH_INSTANCE With setMatchOrder(int...), chooses to match by View instance.
static Int	MATCH_ITEM_ID With setMatchOrder(int...), chooses to match by the android.widget.Adapter item id.
static Int	MATCH_NAME With setMatchOrder(int...), chooses to match by android.view.View#getTransitionName().

Public constructors
<init>() Constructs a Transition object with no target objects.
<init>(@NonNull context: Context, @NonNull attrs: AttributeSet) Perform inflation from XML and apply a class-specific base style from a theme attribute or style resource.

Public methods
open Transition	addListener(@NonNull listener: Transition.TransitionListener) Adds a listener to the set of listeners that are sent events through the life of an animation, such as start, repeat, and end.
open Transition	addTarget(@NonNull target: View) Sets the target view instances that this Transition is interested in animating.
open Transition	addTarget(@IdRes targetId: Int) Adds the id of a target view that this Transition is interested in animating.
