Animation using Lottie
Select an Animation Go to https://lottiefiles.com/ and select any animation of your choice. For this example, I’m going to choose 3 different animations:- https://lottiefiles.com/3269-thumbup, https://lottiefiles.com/434-gradient-animated-background, and https://lottiefiles.com/440-stop-go-radio-button Download the animations and rename them.. For example, the ones used here were renamed to “thumb_up.json”, “gradient_bg.json” and “toggle_switch.json” respectively. Fire up Android Studio Create a new project.
- Select Empty Activity.
- Name your application. In this example, I’ve decided to go with LottiePlayground. Please ensure that the “Use AndroidX artifacts” feature has been enabled. Click on Finish.
- Once the project is completely loaded, go to app level Gradle file and under dependencies, add implementation ‘com.airbnb.android:lottie:$lottieVersion’ At the time of writing the latest version of Lottie is ‘3.0.0-beta1’.
- Sync the project Gradle files.
- Create a folder “assets” under app > src > main and paste the downloaded animations in it.
