Android transition interpolators are used to add animation effect when you scale, move, rotate or fade in / out view object or a group of view objects ( a scene ). This example will show you all the interpolator effect when move a button from left to right horizontally.
1. Android Transition Interpolator Introduce.
There are following transition interpolators which android provided.
- AccelerateDecelerateInterpolator: Accelerate from beginning and decelerate at end.
- AccelerateInterpolator: Accelerate speed until end.
- DecelerateInterpolator: Fast at beginning to slow at end.
- AnticipateInterpolator: Move back a little, and then speed up to the end.
- AnticipateOvershootInterpolator: Move back a little at the beginning and move forward a bit at the end.
- BounceInterpolator: Bounce back at the end of the transition.
- CycleInterpolator: First go to specified direction use 1/4 time of total time, then go to opposite direction for 1/2 time, and then use another 1/4 time to move back to start point.
- LinearInterpolator: constant speed.
- OvershootInterpolator: Run forward until cross the end edge, then run back.
- FastOutLinearInInterpolator: Fast at the beginning and constant speed until end.
- FastOutSlowInInterpolator: Fast at the beginning and decelerate speed at the end.
