+# Animation API
+
+## AnimationDefinition Interface
+The [`AnimationDefinition`](ApiReference/ui/animation/AnimationDefinition.md) interface is central for defining an animation for **one or more properties** of a **single** [`View`](ApiReference/ui/core/View.md). The animatable properties are:
+ - opacity
+ - backgroundColor
+ - translateX and translateY
+ - scaleX and scaleY
+ - rotate
+
+The [`AnimationDefinition`](ApiReference/ui/animation/AnimationDefinition.md) interface has the following members:
+ - target: The view whose property is to be animated.
+ - opacity: Animates the opacity of the view. Value should be a number between 0.0 and 1.0.
+ - backgroundColor: Animates the backgroundColor of the view.
+ - translate: Animates the translate affine transform of the view. Value should be a [`Pair`](ApiReference/ui/animation/Pair.md).
+ - scale: Animates the scale affine transform of the view. Value should be a [`Pair`](ApiReference/ui/animation/Pair.md).
+ - rotate: Animates the rotate affine transform of the view. Value should be a number specifying the rotation amount in degrees.
+ - duration: The length of the animation in milliseconds. The default duration is 300 milliseconds.
+ - delay: The amount of time, in milliseconds, to delay starting the animation.
+ - iterations: Specifies how many times the animation should be played. Default is 1. iOS animations support fractional iterations, i.e. 1.5. To repeat an animation infinitely, use Number.POSITIVE_INFINITY
+ - curve: An optional animation curve of type [`UIViewAnimationCurve`](https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/UIKit/Reference/UIView_Class/#//apple_ref/c/tdef/UIViewAnimationCurve) for iOS or [`android.animation.TimeInterpolator`](http://developer.android.com/reference/android/animation/TimeInterpolator.html) for Android.
+
+ All members of the interface are **optional** and have default values with the following exceptions:
+ - target is only optional when calling the **animate** method of a [`View`](ApiReference/ui/core/View.md) instance since it is set automatically for you.
+ - You must specify at least one property among opacity, backgroundColor, scale, rotate and translate.
+
+## Animation Class
+The [`Animation`](ApiReference/ui/animation/Animation.md) class represents a **set** of one or more [`AnimationDefinitions`](ApiReference/ui/animation/AnimationDefinition.md which can be played either **simultaneously or sequentially**. **This class is typically used when you need to animate several views together**. The constructor of the the [`Animation`](ApiReference/ui/animation/Animation.md) class accepts an array of [`AnimationDefinitions`](ApiReference/ui/animation/AnimationDefinition.md) and a boolean parameter indicating whether to play the animations sequentially. Creating an instance of the [`Animation`](ApiReference/ui/animation/Animation.md) class does not start the animation playback. The class has four members:
+ - play: a method that starts the animation and returns the instance it was called on for fluent animation chaining.
+ - cancel: a void method which stops the animation.
+ - finished: a promise which will be resolved when the animation finishes or rejected when the animation is cancelled or stops for another reason.
+ - isPlaying: a boolean property returning true if the animation is currently playing.
+
+## View.animate Method
+In case you need to animate a **single** [`View`](ApiReference/ui/core/View.md) and you don't need to be able to **cancel** the animation, you can simply use the shortcut **View.animate** method which accepts an [`AnimationDefinition`](ApiReference/ui/animation/AnimationDefinition.md), immediately starts the animation and returns its finished promise.
