AnimatorSet

AnimatorSet

public AnimatorSet ()

cancel

public void cancel ()

Cancels the animation. Unlike end(), cancel() causes the animation to stop in its tracks, sending an Animator.AnimatorListener.onAnimationCancel(Animator) to its listeners, followed by an Animator.AnimatorListener.onAnimationEnd(Animator) message.

This method must be called on the thread that is running the animation.

Note that canceling a AnimatorSet also cancels all of the animations that it is responsible for.

clone

public AnimatorSet clone ()

Creates and returns a copy of this object. The precise meaning of "copy" may depend on the class of the object. The general intent is that, for any object x, the expression:

 x.clone() != x

will be true, and that the expression:

 x.clone().getClass() == x.getClass()

will be true, but these are not absolute requirements. While it is typically the case that:

 x.clone().equals(x)

will be true, this is not an absolute requirement.

By convention, the returned object should be obtained by calling super.clone. If a class and all of its superclasses (except Object) obey this convention, it will be the case that x.clone().getClass() == x.getClass().

By convention, the object returned by this method should be independent of this object (which is being cloned). To achieve this independence, it may be necessary to modify one or more fields of the object returned by super.clone before returning it. Typically, this means copying any mutable objects that comprise the internal "deep structure" of the object being cloned and replacing the references to these objects with references to the copies. If a class contains only primitive fields or references to immutable objects, then it is usually the case that no fields in the object returned by super.clone need to be modified.

Returns
AnimatorSet	a clone of this instance.

end

public void end ()

Ends the animation. This causes the animation to assign the end value of the property being animated, then calling the Animator.AnimatorListener.onAnimationEnd(Animator) method on its listeners.

This method must be called on the thread that is running the animation.

Note that ending a AnimatorSet also ends all of the animations that it is responsible for.

getChildAnimations

public ArrayList<Animator> getChildAnimations ()

Returns the current list of child Animator objects controlled by this AnimatorSet. This is a copy of the internal list; modifications to the returned list will not affect the AnimatorSet, although changes to the underlying Animator objects will affect those objects being managed by the AnimatorSet.

Returns
ArrayList<Animator>	ArrayList The list of child animations of this AnimatorSet.

getCurrentPlayTime

public long getCurrentPlayTime ()

Returns the milliseconds elapsed since the start of the animation.

For ongoing animations, this method returns the current progress of the animation in terms of play time. For an animation that has not yet been started: if the animation has been seeked to a certain time via setCurrentPlayTime(long), the seeked play time will be returned; otherwise, this method will return 0.

Returns
long	the current position in time of the animation in milliseconds

getDuration

public long getDuration ()

Gets the length of each of the child animations of this AnimatorSet. This value may be less than 0, which indicates that no duration has been set on this AnimatorSet and each of the child animations will use their own duration.

Returns
long	The length of the animation, in milliseconds, of each of the child animations of this AnimatorSet.

getInterpolator

public TimeInterpolator getInterpolator ()

Returns the timing interpolator that this animation uses.

Returns
TimeInterpolator	The timing interpolator for this animation.

getStartDelay

public long getStartDelay ()

The amount of time, in milliseconds, to delay starting the animation after start() is called.

Returns
long	the number of milliseconds to delay running the animation

getTotalDuration

public long getTotalDuration ()

Gets the total duration of the animation, accounting for animation sequences, start delay, and repeating. Return DURATION_INFINITE if the duration is infinite.

Returns
long	Total time an animation takes to finish, starting from the time start() is called. DURATION_INFINITE will be returned if the animation or any child animation repeats infinite times.

isRunning

public boolean isRunning ()

Returns true if any of the child animations of this AnimatorSet have been started and have not yet ended. Child animations will not be started until the AnimatorSet has gone past its initial delay set through setStartDelay(long).

Returns
boolean	Whether this AnimatorSet has gone past the initial delay, and at least one child animation has been started and not yet ended.

isStarted

public boolean isStarted ()

Returns whether this Animator has been started and not yet ended. For reusable Animators (which most Animators are, apart from the one-shot animator produced by createCircularReveal()), this state is a superset of isRunning(), because an Animator with a nonzero startDelay will return true for isStarted() during the delay phase, whereas isRunning() will return true only after the delay phase is complete. Non-reusable animators will always return true after they have been started, because they cannot return to a non-started state.

Returns
boolean	Whether the Animator has been started and not yet ended.

pause

public void pause ()

Pauses a running animation. This method should only be called on the same thread on which the animation was started. If the animation has not yet been started or has since ended, then the call is ignored. Paused animations can be resumed by calling resume().

play

public AnimatorSet.Builder play (Animator anim)

This method creates a Builder object, which is used to set up playing constraints. This initial play() method tells the Builder the animation that is the dependency for the succeeding commands to the Builder. For example, calling play(a1).with(a2) sets up the AnimatorSet to play a1 and a2 at the same time, play(a1).before(a2) sets up the AnimatorSet to play a1 first, followed by a2, and play(a1).after(a2) sets up the AnimatorSet to play a2 first, followed by a1.

Note that play() is the only way to tell the Builder the animation upon which the dependency is created, so successive calls to the various functions in Builder will all refer to the initial parameter supplied in play() as the dependency of the other animations. For example, calling play(a1).before(a2).before(a3) will play both a2 and a3 when a1 ends; it does not set up a dependency between a2 and a3.

Parameters
anim	Animator: The animation that is the dependency used in later calls to the methods in the returned Builder object. A null parameter will result in a null Builder return value.

Returns
AnimatorSet.Builder	Builder The object that constructs the AnimatorSet based on the dependencies outlined in the calls to play and the other methods in the Builder

playSequentially

public void playSequentially (List<Animator> items)

Sets up this AnimatorSet to play each of the supplied animations when the previous animation ends.

Parameters
items	List: The animations that will be started one after another.

playSequentially

public void playSequentially (Animator... items)

Sets up this AnimatorSet to play each of the supplied animations when the previous animation ends.

Parameters
items	Animator: The animations that will be started one after another.

playTogether

public void playTogether (Animator... items)

Sets up this AnimatorSet to play all of the supplied animations at the same time. This is equivalent to calling play(android.animation.Animator) with the first animator in the set and then Builder#with(Animator) with each of the other animators. Note that an Animator with a startDelay will not actually start until that delay elapses, which means that if the first animator in the list supplied to this constructor has a startDelay, none of the other animators will start until that first animator's startDelay has elapsed.

Parameters
items	Animator: The animations that will be started simultaneously.

playTogether

public void playTogether (Collection<Animator> items)

Sets up this AnimatorSet to play all of the supplied animations at the same time.

Parameters
items	Collection: The animations that will be started simultaneously.

resume

public void resume ()

Resumes a paused animation, causing the animator to pick up where it left off when it was paused. This method should only be called on the same thread on which the animation was started. Calls to resume() on an animator that is not currently paused will be ignored.

reverse

public void reverse ()

Plays the AnimatorSet in reverse. If the animation has been seeked to a specific play time using setCurrentPlayTime(long), it will play backwards from the point seeked when reverse was called. Otherwise, then it will start from the end and play backwards. This behavior is only set for the current animation; future playing of the animation will use the default behavior of playing forward.

Note: reverse is not supported for infinite AnimatorSet.

setCurrentPlayTime

public void setCurrentPlayTime (long playTime)

Sets the position of the animation to the specified point in time. This time should be between 0 and the total duration of the animation, including any repetition. If the animation has not yet been started, then it will not advance forward after it is set to this time; it will simply set the time to this value and perform any appropriate actions based on that time. If the animation is already running, then setCurrentPlayTime() will set the current playing time to this value and continue playing from that point. On Build.VERSION_CODES#UPSIDE_DOWN_CAKE and above, an AnimatorSet that hasn't been start()ed, will issue Animator.AnimatorListener.onAnimationStart(Animator, boolean) and Animator.AnimatorListener.onAnimationEnd(Animator, boolean) events.

Parameters
playTime	long: The time, in milliseconds, to which the animation is advanced or rewound. Unless the animation is reversing, the playtime is considered the time since the end of the start delay of the AnimatorSet in a forward playing direction.

setDuration

public AnimatorSet setDuration (long duration)

Sets the length of each of the current child animations of this AnimatorSet. By default, each child animation will use its own duration. If the duration is set on the AnimatorSet, then each child animation inherits this duration.

Parameters
duration	long: The length of the animation, in milliseconds, of each of the child animations of this AnimatorSet.

Returns
AnimatorSet

setInterpolator

public void setInterpolator (TimeInterpolator interpolator)

Sets the TimeInterpolator for all current child animations of this AnimatorSet. The default value is null, which means that no interpolator is set on this AnimatorSet. Setting the interpolator to any non-null value will cause that interpolator to be set on the child animations when the set is started.

Parameters
interpolator	TimeInterpolator: the interpolator to be used by each child animation of this AnimatorSet

setStartDelay

public void setStartDelay (long startDelay)

The amount of time, in milliseconds, to delay starting the animation after start() is called. Note that the start delay should always be non-negative. Any negative start delay will be clamped to 0 on N and above.

Parameters
startDelay	long: The amount of the delay, in milliseconds

setTarget

public void setTarget (Object target)

Sets the target object for all current child animations of this AnimatorSet that take targets (ObjectAnimator and AnimatorSet).

Parameters
target	Object: The object being animated

setupEndValues

public void setupEndValues ()

This method tells the object to use appropriate information to extract ending values for the animation. For example, a AnimatorSet object will pass this call to its child objects to tell them to set up the values. A ObjectAnimator object will use the information it has about its target object and PropertyValuesHolder objects to get the start values for its properties. A ValueAnimator object will ignore the request since it does not have enough information (such as a target object) to gather these values.

setupStartValues

public void setupStartValues ()

This method tells the object to use appropriate information to extract starting values for the animation. For example, a AnimatorSet object will pass this call to its child objects to tell them to set up the values. A ObjectAnimator object will use the information it has about its target object and PropertyValuesHolder objects to get the start values for its properties. A ValueAnimator object will ignore the request since it does not have enough information (such as a target object) to gather these values.

start

public void start ()

Starts this animation. If the animation has a nonzero startDelay, the animation will start running after that delay elapses. A non-delayed animation will have its initial value(s) set immediately, followed by calls to AnimatorListener#onAnimationStart(Animator) for any listeners of this animator.

The animation started by calling this method will be run on the thread that called this method. This thread should have a Looper on it (a runtime exception will be thrown if this is not the case). Also, if the animation will animate properties of objects in the view hierarchy, then the calling thread should be the UI thread for that view hierarchy.

Starting this AnimatorSet will, in turn, start the animations for which it is responsible. The details of when exactly those animations are started depends on the dependency relationships that have been set up between the animations. Note: Manipulating AnimatorSet's lifecycle in the child animators' listener callbacks will lead to undefined behaviors. Also, AnimatorSet will ignore any seeking in the child animators once start() is called.

toString

public String toString ()

Returns a string representation of the object.

Returns
String	a string representation of the object.
