AnimatorSet

public boolean canReverse()

AnimatorSet is only reversible when the set contains no infinitely-repeating animation (e.g. a child animation with repeatCount = INFINITE

public void cancel()

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

public void end()

Ends the animation. This causes the animation to assign the end value of the property being animated, then calling the 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.

public @NonNull 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.

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, the seeked play time will be returned; otherwise, this method will return 0.

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.

public @Nullable Interpolator getInterpolator()

Returns the timing interpolator that this animation uses.

public long getStartDelay()

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

public long getTotalDuration()

Gets the total duration of the animation, accounting for animation sequences, start delay, and repeating.

When the animation repeats infinite times, or when any of the child animators does (via ValueAnimator#setRepeatCount(int)} to ValueAnimator#INFINITE), the total duration will be #DURATION_INFINITE. Otherwise, the total duration is the sum of start delay and animation running time (i.e. duration of one iteration multiplied by the number of iterations).

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.

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.

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.

public @NonNull AnimatorSet.Builder play(@NonNull 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.

public void playSequentially(@NonNull Animator[] items)

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

public void playSequentially(@NonNull List<Animator> items)

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

public void playTogether(@NonNull Animator[] items)

Sets up this AnimatorSet to play all of the supplied animations at the same time. This is equivalent to calling play with the first animator in the set and then with 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.

public void playTogether(@NonNull Collection<Animator> items)

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

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.

public void reverse()

Plays the AnimatorSet in reverse. If the animation has been seeked to a specific play time using setCurrentPlayTime, 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.

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.

public @NonNull 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.

public void setInterpolator(@Nullable Interpolator interpolator)

Sets the Interpolator 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.

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.

public void setTarget(@Nullable Object target)

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

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.

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.

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.
