In Flutter, AnimationController is used to manage animations. It allows starting, stopping, repeating, and controlling the progress of an animation.

Main steps:

  1. Create an AnimationController in the widget's state (usually in initState), specifying duration and vsync (for resource optimization).
  2. Use controller methods: forward(), reverse(), repeat(), stop() to control the animation.
  3. Subscribe to animation value changes via addListener to update the UI.
  4. Dispose of the controller in dispose() method.

Example:

class MyAnimatedWidgetState extends State<MyAnimatedWidget> with SingleTickerProviderStateMixin {
  late AnimationController _controller;

  @override
  void initState() {
    super.initState();
    _controller = AnimationController(
      duration: const Duration(seconds: 2),
      vsync: this,
    )..addListener(() {
        setState(() {}); // update UI on animation change
      });
    _controller.forward(); // start animation
  }

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

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Opacity(
      opacity: _controller.value, // from 0.0 to 1.0
      child: YourWidget(),
    );
  }
}
