In <https://developer.android.com/jetpack/compose/animation>, I find all the guide per the provided table diagram (as shown below, linking to each of the topic provided by the doc). But I cannot find two of them
1. Animation
2. AnimationState &amp; animate
Did I miss anything?
Just for completeness, I can find the others except the two.
• AnimatedVisibility (experimental) <https://developer.android.com/jetpack/compose/animation#animatedvisibility>
• AnimatedContent (experimental) <https://developer.android.com/jetpack/compose/animation#animatedcontent>
• animateContentSize <https://developer.android.com/jetpack/compose/animation#animateContentSize>
• Crossfade <https://developer.android.com/jetpack/compose/animation#crossfade>
Low-level Animation APIs
• animate*AsState <https://developer.android.com/jetpack/compose/animation#animate-as-state>
• Animatable <https://developer.android.com/jetpack/compose/animation#animatable>
• updateTransition <https://developer.android.com/jetpack/compose/animation#updateTransition>
• rememberInfiniteTransition <https://developer.android.com/jetpack/compose/animation#rememberinfinitetransition>
Missing (in Pink box shown below)
• Animation (where’s the doc?)
• AnimationState &amp; animate (where’s the doc?)

<@UNH9ZT3NZ>, sorry to bother you once more, can you aid? Thanks :pray:

Again for easier to response clearly, I create <https://stackoverflow.com/questions/71049850/where-can-i-find-guide-for-jetpack-compose-animation-animationstate-and-animate>

Thanks for the illustration <@U1A6B4YCX>. I'm very flattered to see our animation doc work getting this thorough of a read and interest! :grin::thumbsup:

The doc covered the more common type of `Animation` - `TargetBasedAnimation`. Now that I look at the doc, even though `TargetBasedAnimation` is mentioned, the connection between the two could be made more clear.

`AnimationState` and `animate` weren't covered in the doc because we decided to leave them out to avoid confusing developers new to Compose. They are for one-shot use cases - when you build coroutine animations and don't care about the continuity (or manage the continuity yourself) between animation runs.  `Animatable` uses `AnimationState` under the hood for each animation run. On top of that, it also manages the lifecycle, ensures mutual exclusiveness of the animations started via `animateTo` /`animateDecay` , and maintains continuity of the animation value (and velocity if possible) when interrupted.  If you only know `Animatable`, you could use that powerful API to achieve anything that `AnimationState` and `animate` could do, although it might not always be the most ergonomic choice.

Since there's interest in learning about `animate` and `AnimationState`, we could include them in this doc for completeness. Could you file a bug for this? Thanks again for the interest! :pray:

Thanks so much <@UNH9ZT3NZ>! :pray:
Ya, it’s great doc, and I got lots of detail from there. The gap I have, you have covered them very well. Thank you! :bow:
Someone in the stackoverflow point me to `AnimationState` at <https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/androidx/compose/animation/core/AnimationState>. I think that will be a great start.
I have also file an issue <https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/218645216> as per requested. Thanks for providing all the great code examples :pray:
