Material Motion Tween Family

The Tween Material Motion family provides a bridge between Property Animation and the Material Motion Runtime.

Features

Tween uses Property Animation's ObjectAnimator to animate a property along an easing curve.

Use a Tween like you would use a ObjectAnimator instance: provide a property, duration, and one or both of the from/to value.

Tween tweenBackgroundColor = new Tween<>(TweenProperty.BACKGROUND_COLOR, duration, Color.GREEN, Color.RED);
runtime.addPlan(tweenBackgroundColor, view);

Tween's properties map to the following ObjectAnimator properties:

Installation

Installation with Jitpack

Add the Jitpack repository to your project's build.gradle:

allprojects {
    repositories {
        maven { url "https://jitpack.io" }
    }
}

Depend on the latest version of the library. Take care to occasionally check for updates.

dependencies {
    compile 'com.github.material-motion:family-tween-android:2.1.0'
}

For more information regarding versioning, see:

• Material Motion Versioning Policies

Using the files from a folder local to the machine

You can have a copy of this library with local changes and test it in tandem with its client project. To add a local dependency on this library, add this library's identifier to your project's local.dependencies:

com.github.material-motion:family-tween-android

Because local.dependencies is never to be checked into Version Control Systems, you must also ensure that any local dependencies are also defined in build.gradle as explained in the previous section.

Important

For each local dependency listed, you must run gradle install from its project root every time you make a change to it. That command will publish your latest changes to the local maven repository. If your local dependencies have local dependencies of their own, you must gradle install them as well.

You must gradle clean your project every time you add or remove a local dependency.

Usage

How to use the library in your project.

Editing the library in Android Studio

Open Android Studio, choose File > New > Import, choose the root build.gradle file.

Example apps/unit tests

To build the sample application, run the following commands:

git clone https://github.com/material-motion/family-tween-android.git
cd family-tween-android
gradle installDebug

To run all unit tests, run the following commands:

git clone https://github.com/material-motion/family-tween-android.git
cd family-tween-android
gradle test

How to animate a property with a Tween plan

Tween<Float> tween = new Tween<>(property, duration, from, to);
runtime.addPlan(tween, view);

How to animate a property with a keyframe Tween plan

float[] values = new float[] {0f, .5f, 1f};
float[] offsets = new float[] {0f, .25f, 1f};

Tween<Float> tween = new Tween<>(property, duration, values);
tween.offsets = offsets;
runtime.addPlan(tween, view);
