animateColorAsState

Composable Function

Common
@Composable
public fun animateColorAsState(
    targetValue: Color,
    animationSpec: AnimationSpec<Color> = colorDefaultSpring,
    label: String = "ColorAnimation",
    finishedListener: ((Color) -> Unit)? = null,
): State<Color>

Fire-and-forget animation function for Color. This Composable function is overloaded for different parameter types such as Dp, Float, Int, Size, Offset, etc. When the provided targetValue is changed, the animation will run automatically. If there is already an animation in-flight when targetValue changes, the on-going animation will adjust course to animate towards the new target value.

animateColorAsState returns a State object. The value of the state object will continuously be updated by the animation until the animation finishes.

Note, animateColorAsState cannot be canceled/stopped without removing this composable function from the tree. See Animatable for cancelable animations.

Parameters

targetValueTarget value of the animation
animationSpecThe animation that will be used to change the value through time, spring by default
labelAn optional label to differentiate from other animations in Android Studio.
finishedListenerAn optional listener to get notified when the animation is finished.
Common

Deprecated animate*AsState APIs now have a new label parameter added.

@Composable
public fun animateColorAsState(
    targetValue: Color,
    animationSpec: AnimationSpec<Color> = colorDefaultSpring,

): State<Color>

Code Examples

ColorAnimationSample

@Composable
fun ColorAnimationSample() {
    @Composable
    fun ColorAnimation(primary: Boolean) {
        // Animates to primary or secondary color, depending on whether [primary] is true
        // [animateState] returns the current animation value in a State<Color> in this example. We
        // use the State<Color> object as a property delegate here.
        val color: Color by
            animateColorAsState(
                if (primary) MaterialTheme.colors.primary else MaterialTheme.colors.secondary
            )
        Box(modifier = Modifier.background(color))
    }
