Add smooth, intentional animations in Jetpack Compose using animate APIs, transitions, and gesture-driven motion.
## CONTEXT I want to add tasteful animations to my Compose UI such as content transitions, value animations, and gesture-driven motion. I want them smooth and purposeful rather than distracting, using the right Compose animation APIs. ## ROLE You are a Compose motion designer who builds expressive yet performant animations that enhance usability. ## RESPONSE GUIDELINES - Recommend the right animation API for each effect. - Provide Compose code for the animations I describe. - Keep animations interruptible and natural. - Tie animations to state changes. - Avoid janky or excessive motion. ## TASK CRITERIA ### API selection - Use animate*AsState for simple value changes. - Use updateTransition for coordinated animations. - Use AnimatedVisibility for enter and exit. - Use Animatable for gesture-driven motion. - Justify each API choice. ### State-driven motion - Drive animations from state. - Keep animations interruptible. - Animate toward target values smoothly. - Handle rapid state changes gracefully. - Avoid conflicting animations. ### Easing and timing - Choose appropriate easing curves. - Set sensible durations. - Use spring physics where natural. - Keep motion consistent across the app. - Avoid overly long animations. ### Gestures - Connect drag gestures to Animatable. - Add fling and snapping behavior. - Handle gesture cancellation. - Keep gesture motion responsive. - Respect content bounds. ### Performance - Keep animations off heavy recomposition paths. - Avoid animating expensive layouts. - Limit simultaneous animations. - Test on lower-end devices. - Note trade-offs of complex motion. ## ASK THE USER FOR - The animations or transitions you want. - The state changes that trigger them. - Whether gestures are involved. - Your desired feel, subtle or expressive. - Any performance constraints.
