I have a question about AnimatedNavHost from Accompanist. Is the default enter animation different based on the root element of the target composable ? Or I’m missing something ? Is this documented ?

Based on https://github.com/google/accompanist/blob/main/navigation-animation/src/main/java[…]/com/google/accompanist/navigation/animation/AnimatedNavHost.kt, it seems to be the same regardless of initial/target.

I noticed a different entry animation between composables that have a Column on top and those that have Scaffolds

[Stefano Sansone]

I didn’t specify any animation in the navhost

[sindrenm]

Yeah, there's currently a bug when animating from a Scaffold screen to a non-Scaffold screen. There is https://github.com/google/accompanist/issues/729, but there should probably also be a bug report somewhere.

Or … at least I think it's a bug. It seems like something that generally should work, but doesn't really right now.

Thank you

No, that issue is entirely unrelated

I'd first make sure the size of your AnimatedNavHost isn't changing - i.e., it has a fixed size in whatever contains it. The animations default to being centered in the size so if the size changes, it is going to look different

[sindrenm]

You're absolutely right, my bad! I had “fixed” this for our app recently, and did so by wrapping stuff in a Scaffold. But I suppose that worked because Scaffold itself fills the screen size, then?

Thank you so much Ian, I will try to check the dimensions of the components. A few weeks ago I posted a question related to this, but I’ll close it or put a reference to your message.
