Smooth Criminals, Android animations and how not to get robbed.
summary
Walks through exact tools and tradeoffs: Lottie runs After Effects as canvas animations but hits scaling and memory limits on full‑screen or low‑end phones; Shape Shifter and Kyrie produce animated vector drawables and solve keyframing but bind to assets or APIs; MotionLayout pushes work to the surface for high performance; there are roughly a dozen ways to expand FABs with one‑frame staggering unless orchestration is used; ObjectAnimator and PropertyValuesHolder are verbose but give correct, synchronized results.
