Animations in Compose - From Basic Primitives to Shared Element Transitions

Dive into a comprehensive podcast episode exploring animations in Jetpack Compose for Android development. Join hosts Chet, Romain, and Tor as they interview Doris Liu from the Compose team, covering a wide range of topics from basic animation primitives to advanced concepts like Shared Element Transitions. Learn about different animation specs, layers of functionality, TargetBasedAnimation, vectors and velocity of color changes, animation interruptions, and motion layout problem-solving. Discover the mental models for layout animation in Compose versus View, and gain insights into tooling, Look Ahead functionality, and new APIs like Modifier.animateBounds. Access additional resources including tutorials, talks, and guides to further enhance your understanding of Compose animations.
