Android provides various animation classes which can be used from XML or Java but for if you are looking to provide a truly unique experience to the user when using your app, you will have to divert from regular animations to create unique animations tailored with the brand and functioning of your app. This is where specific animations built purely in Java comes into play. In this talk, I will be aiming to cover all the basics that are required to create animations in Java.
I will cover the following topics in this talk:
1 . Animations using Custom views and Canvas-
a) Approach for creating custom animations.
b) Creating custom views to hold our animations.
c) Draw our animations on Canvas.
d) Adding customisation to view and animation using xml attributes and java methods.
2 . Animations using Transition Framework introduced in Kitkat-
a) Using transition framework to build basic animations between activities and fragments.
b) Creating advanced Transitions between Activities/Fragments using custom Transitions.
