SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill guides developers in implementing rich motion and transitions in Android UI using Jetpack Compose, helping to create responsive, engaging interfaces without boilerplate confusion.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • AnimatedVisibility: fade/expand or collapse UI components for dynamic visibility.
  • Value & Content Transitions: animate size, color, position, and content changes with animate*AsState, Crossfade, and AnimatedContent.
  • Gesture & Layout Animations: build gesture-driven motions, multi-property transitions, and list item placements with updateTransition and animation APIs.

Quick Start

Install Compose animation dependencies in your project:

  • implementation "androidx.compose.animation:animation:1.5.4"
  • implementation "androidx.compose.ui:ui:1.5.4" Quick Start example: Start by enabling a simple animated visibility: var visible by remember { mutableStateOf(true) } AnimatedVisibility(visible = visible, enter = fadeIn(), exit = fadeOut()) { Text("Animated content here") }

Frequently Asked Questions about jetpack-compose-animations

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I animate Jetpack Compose UI components for visibility changes?▼

Jetpack Compose UI components animate visibility changes using the AnimatedVisibility API, applying fadeIn and fadeOut effects to dynamically expand or collapse UI elements during state transitions.

What's the best way to transition color and size in Android Jetpack Compose?▼

Transition color and size in Jetpack Compose using the animate*AsState and Crossfade APIs. These functions handle value-based transitions smoothly during Android UI state changes without boilerplate code.

How do I handle multi-property transitions and gesture animations in Jetpack Compose?▼

Multi-property transitions and gesture animations in Jetpack Compose are handled using the updateTransition API, allowing coordinated motion across multiple UI properties during state-driven layout changes.

Do I need specific dependencies to run Jetpack Compose animations?▼

Jetpack Compose animations require the androidx.compose.animation:animation dependency in your Android project, providing the necessary APIs for motion, transitions, and gesture-driven UI updates.

When should I use AnimatedContent instead of Crossfade in Android UI?▼

Use AnimatedContent in Android UI when transitioning between different composables with custom enter/exit motions, whereas Crossfade specifically interpolates between content states using a simple fading effect.

Why does my Compose animation boilerplate cause layout performance issues?▼

Compose animation boilerplate causes layout performance issues when manually managing state changes instead of leveraging built-in APIs like animate*AsState and updateTransition for efficient UI motion.
