Basically its a scaleIn scaleOut animation that repeats forever until another stage comes in in that case it should go to it s initial place without suspending so other stages can happen while the stageA animation is resting to its original position

currently it is working as i want it but i feel there must be already an api for this

Chris Sinco [G] · Answer

Do you have a mock up or video of what you are trying to build I ask because of the comment until another stage comes in in that case it should go to it s initial place

Chris Sinco [G] · Answer

Otherwise I think you can achieve what you want with rememberInfiniteTransition

Imagine scale and drag at the same time Initially its scalling up and down infinitivelly When the user touches to drag the scale should be cancelled but not mid scale It should cancel after going back to 1f But also it cannot suspend in that case otherwise it wont drag in that period

myanmarking · Answer

Its a drag animation but until the user touches it its scaling up 1 05f back to 1f infinitivelly When user starts to drag it will move but also the scale will rest at 1f not mid scale

Chris Sinco [G] · Answer

I see I think it d still be useful to provide a video of what you want as I m not sure why you wouldn t want to cancel or suspend the animation on the drag event otherwise the animation might not feel responsive to touch

Chris Sinco [G] · Answer

Since you have it working and you don t want to suspend immediately on user interaction I m not sure there s a direct API for what you need

myanmarking · Answer

Its the other way around

myanmarking · Answer

The drag will start immediatly

myanmarking · Answer

If i remove the launch in stageA the drag will be delayed This way it will start imediatly but at the same time it will settle the scale at 1f
