SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It helps you select the correct Jetpack Compose animation approach so your UI transitions behave correctly (enter/exit vs value animation vs shared motion) without unnecessary complexity.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Pick the smallest matching Compose animation API for your exact motion need, from visibility transitions to single-property value animations.
  • Animate one or many values correctly using animate*AsState for targets and rememberTransition when multiple properties must stay synchronized.
  • Avoid common pitfalls like fading without unmounting, drifting animations across separate state animations, and animating colors with the wrong drawing approach.

Quick Start

Use the compose-animations skill when you’re unsure whether to use AnimatedVisibility, animate*AsState, rememberTransition, AnimatedContent, or Crossfade for the motion you want.

FAQPage Schema
How do I choose the right Jetpack Compose animation API for UI transitions?

Choosing the right Jetpack Compose animation API involves matching your exact motion need to the smallest suitable primitive, using AnimatedVisibility for enter/exit subtree animations and animate*AsState for single-property targets.

What's the best way to synchronize multiple property animations in Jetpack Compose?

The best way to synchronize multiple property animations in Jetpack Compose is using rememberTransition, which ensures multiple values stay synchronized during transitions without drifting across separate state animations.

When should I use AnimatedContent versus Crossfade for composable content swapping?

Use AnimatedContent or Crossfade for composable content swapping when you need to transition between different composables, selecting the smallest matching API to avoid unnecessary complexity and ensure correct UI motion behavior.

Why do my Jetpack Compose animations drift when animating multiple values separately?

Jetpack Compose animations drift when multiple values are animated using separate animate*AsState calls instead of rememberTransition, which is required to keep multi-property transitions properly synchronized.

How to avoid performance and behavior mismatches when animating layout size changes in Compose?

Avoid performance and behavior mismatches when animating layout size changes in Compose by applying draw and layout-aware techniques, selecting the smallest suitable animation API, and using proper state-driven targets with labels.
