Lottie Animation in Android

Gradle is the only supported build configuration, so just add the dependency to your project build.gradle file:

dependencies {
    ...
    compile 'com.airbnb.android:lottie:2.2.5'
    ...
}

Lottie supports ICS (API 14) and above. The simplest way to use it is with LottieAnimationView:

<com.airbnb.lottie.LottieAnimationView
        android:id="@+id/animation_view"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        app:lottie_fileName="hello-world.json"
        app:lottie_loop="true"
        app:lottie_autoPlay="true" />

Or you can load it programmatically in multiple ways. From a json asset in app/src/main/assets:

LottieAnimationView animationView = (LottieAnimationView) findViewById(R.id.animation_view);
animationView.setAnimation("hello-world.json");
animationView.loop(true);
animationView.playAnimation();

This method will load the file and parse the animation in the background and asynchronously start rendering once completed.

If you want to reuse an animation such as in each item of a list or load it from a network request JSONObject:

 LottieAnimationView animationView = (LottieAnimationView) findViewById(R.id.animation_view);
 ...
 Cancellable compositionCancellable = LottieComposition.Factory.fromJson(getResources(), jsonObject, (composition) -> {
     animationView.setComposition(composition);
     animationView.playAnimation();
 });

 // Cancel to stop asynchronous loading of composition
 // compositionCancellable.cancel();

You can then control the animation or add listeners:

animationView.addAnimatorUpdateListener((animation) -> {
    // Do something.
});
animationView.playAnimation();
...
if (animationView.isAnimating()) {
    // Do something.
}
...
animationView.setProgress(0.5f);
...
// Custom animation speed or duration.
ValueAnimator animator = ValueAnimator.ofFloat(0f, 1f)
    .setDuration(500);
animator.addUpdateListener(animation -> {
    animationView.setProgress(animation.getAnimatedValue());
});
animator.start();
...
animationView.cancelAnimation();

Under the hood, LottieAnimationView uses LottieDrawable to render its animations. If you need to, you can use the drawable form directly:

LottieDrawable drawable = new LottieDrawable();
LottieComposition.Factory.fromAssetFileName(getContext(), "hello-world.json", (composition) -> {
    drawable.setComposition(composition);
});
