Introduction: Experiment with SharedElement transition in Jetpack Compose, inspired by Flutter Hero widget.

Note: This is not meant to be a maintained library.
Proof of concept exploration of how to implement SharedElement transition in Jetpack Compose.
Inspired by Flutter Hero widget.
Transition consists of following animations:
- Position
- Scale
- Crossfade (which makes it work on any kind of element, e.g.
Text)
UsersListScreen:![]() UserDetailScreen: ![]() |
Slowed down transition animation:![]() |
|---|---|
Usage
Define
FROMandTOelements with shared tag ```kotlin @Composable fun ScreenA() { // ...SharedElement(tag = "tag", type = SharedElementType.FROM) {
Image(image, Modifier.preferredSize(48.dp))}
// ... }
@Composable fun ScreenB() { // ...
SharedElement(tag = "tag", type = SharedElementType.TO) {
Image(image, Modifier.preferredSize(200.dp))
}
// ... }
2. Make `SharedElementsRoot` a common parent of `ScreenA` and `ScreenB`. It doesn't have to be their direct parent.
```kotlin
SharedElementsRoot {
// change between ScreenA and ScreenB
}
- Transition starts automatically when second
SharedElementis detected
Sample
See sample usage with UsersListScreen and UserDetailsScreen here.
Issues
Considering the experimental state of this library and state of Jetpack Compose itself there are some issues described here.
