In Flutter, animations are implemented using the built-in animation framework, which allows creating smooth and customizable transitions. Main features:

  • Implicit Animations — simple animations where changing a widget property, such as AnimatedContainer, AnimatedOpacity, automatically animates the changes.
  • Explicit Animations — more flexible, require an animation controller (AnimationController), and allow controlling timing, curves, and animation states.
  • Tween — defines a range of values for animation (e.g., from 0 to 1).
  • AnimationController — manages the animation timing, can start, stop, repeat.
  • CurvedAnimation — allows setting a curve for the change (ease-in, ease-out, etc.).

Example of explicit size change animation:

class MyAnimatedWidget extends StatefulWidget {
  @override
  _MyAnimatedWidgetState createState() => _MyAnimatedWidgetState();
}

class _MyAnimatedWidgetState extends State<MyAnimatedWidget> with SingleTickerProviderStateMixin {
  late AnimationController _controller;
  late Animation<double> _animation;

  @override
  void initState() {
    super.initState();
    _controller = AnimationController(
      duration: const Duration(seconds: 2),
      vsync: this,
    );
    _animation = Tween<double>(begin: 100, end: 200).animate(
      CurvedAnimation(parent: _controller, curve: Curves.easeInOut),
    );
    _controller.repeat(reverse: true);
  }

  @override
  void dispose() {
    _controller.dispose();
    super.dispose();
  }

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return AnimatedBuilder(
      animation: _animation,
      builder: (context, child) {
        return Container(
          width: _animation.value,
          height: _animation.value,
          color: Colors.blue,
        );
      },
    );
  }
}

Features:

  • High performance due to engine-level rendering.
  • Ability to combine animations.
  • Support for gestures and interactive animations.
  • Good integration with Flutter widgets.
