AnimatedText

Android

Component in Wear Material 3 Compose

A composable that displays an animated text.

AnimatedText can be used to animate a text along font variation axes and size. It requires an [AnimatedTextFontRegistry] to improve performance.

[AnimatedTextFontRegistry] can be generated using [rememberAnimatedTextFontRegistry] method, which requires start and end font variation axes, and start and end font sizes for the animation.

Start of the animation is when the animatable is at 0f and end of the animation is when the animatable is at 1f. Current animation progress is provided by the [progressFraction] function. This should be between 0f and 1f, but might go beyond in some cases such as overshooting spring animations.

Example of a one-shot animation with AnimatedText
