Does Compose have something similar to Android EdgeEffect?

[Adam Powell]

Coming soon. You should be able to wire up the existing one today using the android native canvas interop if you're interested.

Will we also have actual overscroll (macOS-like)?
It's something I'd like to offer as a user preference.

[Chachako]

+1. I want this too. In Flutter it's called BouncingScrollPhysics

I remember that image 🤣

This effect is very much part of the overall system user experience and we most likely won’t offer alternatives that would create inconsistent user experience.

[louiscad]

Do you use the Pixel launcher?

[louiscad]

In case you wonder why such a question:
The Pixel launcher has elastic physics-based (aka. bouncing) overscroll:
• sideways on home pages and in app folders
• vertically in the app drawer/library

[Chachako]

Agreed, and Android's ListView is also based on elastic physics.

@romainguy I can understand material artifact gives specific over scroll effects (probably "ripple" plus bounce physics in android 12). But is it not possible to have a public API in common code to allow creating custom effects?

[louiscad]

Wow, the stretch effect is definitely cooler than I thought! And since it's simply a scale, I guess it's easy on the GPU and CPU.
I think it's a nice competitor to the overscroll thing in any list in iOS where you get the nice effect on scroll attempt, even if everything fits into the screen.
