Agenda• Animation vs Animator• Concepts and usages of animator• Class overview• Features of Animator• Demo and Live Coding

Animation vs Animator

• Animation:For View onlyxml supportedModify(animate) the fixed attributes of View

• Animator:For everythingxml supportedModify(animate) any value you gave

Animator Go!

What does Animator do?

• Give you a calculated value depends on the time

• It uses Equation (數學方程式 ) to calculate the value

Linear Case

TimeStart

Duration:10sstart value = 0end value =100

get value at t = 2sValue = (100 - 0) * (2/10) = 20

get value at t = 8sValue = (100 - 0) * (8/10) = 80

f(s) = A * s

Abilities of Animator

• Support customized calculation function• Support modifying class member

(By ObjectAnimator)

Non-Linear Case

TimeStart

Duration:10sstart value = 0end value =100

get value at t = 2sValue = (100 - 0) * (2/10)^2 = 4

get value at t = 8sValue = (100 - 0) * (8/10)^2 = 64

f(s) = A * s^2

Setup Animator

• Create a Animator• Set start and end values• Set duration• Start!

Use Animator

• Get the new animated value from animator• Apply the new value to your components.

(e.g. invalid your View object) Demo 1

AnimatorSet ValueAnimator

ObjectAnimator TimeAnimator

Common Features• Repeat mode (e.g. restart, reverse)

Repeat count (e.g. 1, 6, infinity)• AnimatorSet: combine multiple animators• Add listener(s)

onAnimatorStart/End/Cancel/Repeat/…etc.• Set interpolator (時間與數值的對應函數 )

Linear, Accelerate, Decelerate, Path, etc
