Hello guys, I have an Animatable animation running in a coroutine, the problem is that when I put the app in the background, my animation stop, and when I return to the app, my animation has finished instead of continue in the interrupted value.
How can I return to the app and continue my animation where I left off?

we generally consider this undesirable and prefer the behavior where time isn't stopped by leaving and returning. However, if you'd like to implement such a thing you can implement your own MonotonicFrameClock that wraps the current one, install it using withContext, and then call the suspending animation functions in that block. e.g.

val myPausingClock = MyPausingClock(coroutineContext[MonotonicFrameClock]!!, lifecycleOwner)
withContext(myPausingClock) {
  animateThings()
}

and subtract out the time skipped while the lifecycle isn't STARTED or higher from the timestamps passed to MonotonicFrameClock.withFrameNanos callers, otherwise just passing it through to the wrapped clock

Thanks so much!
