Hi, is it possible to use entry/exit animations using Compose for Wear OS? I tried to use the AnimatedVisibility from androidx.compose.animation.AnimatedVisibility but it is not working in my wearable app

Yes all of the Compose animation APIs work fine with Compose for Wear OS. There is use of these animations internally in the library. If you provide some more context and ideally a cut down sample with your issue we can take a look

Hi @John Nichol Thanks for your quick response. I have two components in a composable. I have two components in a composable. One Loading component and a `Content`component. I am using MVVM
In the composable I read the value of a state that has a property isLoading as follows:

var isLoading= viewModel.state.isLoading

So, if the variable isLoading =true, I want to show the Loading component and I want to animate its entrance.

If the isLoading= false I want to replace the Loading component with the Content component in an animated and smooth way.

Also, another use case where I want to use Animations is when navigating from one component to another. Similarly as is done in accompanist-navigation-animation

These are normal use cases that work pretty well. What specific problems are you having? If you want an example of animating screens in/out then take a look at the Compose for Wear OS Dialog code https://cs.android.com/androidx/platform/frameworks/support/+/androidx-main:wear/com[…]compose/material/dialog/Dialog.android.kt?q=dialog.android.kt
