SpringForce

public final class SpringForce
extends Object

java.lang.Object
   ↳ android.support.animation.SpringForce

Spring Force defines the characteristics of the spring being used in the animation.

By configuring the stiffness and damping ratio, callers can create a spring with the look and feel suits their use case. Stiffness corresponds to the spring constant. The stiffer the spring is, the harder it is to stretch it, the faster it undergoes dampening.

Spring damping ratio describes how oscillations in a system decay after a disturbance. When damping ratio > 1* (i.e. over-damped), the object will quickly return to the rest position without overshooting. If damping ratio equals to 1 (i.e. critically damped), the object will return to equilibrium within the shortest amount of time. When damping ratio is less than 1 (i.e. under-damped), the mass tends to overshoot, and return, and overshoot again. Without any damping (i.e. damping ratio = 0), the mass will oscillate forever.

Constants

DAMPING_RATIO_HIGH_BOUNCY

added in version 25.4.0 
float DAMPING_RATIO_HIGH_BOUNCY

Damping ratio for a very bouncy spring. Note for under-damped springs (i.e. damping ratio < 1), the lower the damping ratio, the more bouncy the spring.

Constant Value: 0.2
