Any ideas on how to pause and resume a transition? I have the following transition:

transitionDefinition<StoryState>{
    state(StoryState.START) {
        this[progress] = 0f
    }

    state(StoryState.END) {
        this[progress] = 1f
    }

    transition(StoryState.START to StoryState.END) {
        progress using tween(5000, delayMillis = 500, easing = LinearEasing)
    }
}

I'd like to pause and resume the transition on a certain event. I guess we can't do that so what can I do?

Never tried, but maybe you can do something with the clock passed building the transition

AnimationClock

is probably the only way to achieve that, since

transition

composable isn't designed to be used imperatively. We may provide a lower set of APIs support imperative use of

TransitionAnimation

some time in the future. But for now, I'd recommend using

animatedFloat

(aka the imperative API for single value animation) for this use case. 🙂

Thanks for the help! I just saw

ManualAnimationClock

I'll try using it

I'd use a

ManualAnimationClock

for the dispatching - when you change the

clockTimeMillis

(conditionally based on whether you need to pause the animation) ,

ManualAnimationClock

will automatically dispatch the new time you set to the animations subscribed to it. 🙂 This does require some wire-up for your

ManualAnimationClock

to observe the time change during a normal run.

Okay I was trying to add the pause and resume logic to the custom clock class by inheriting but sure I'll do it another way with

ManualAnimationClock

. Thanks 🙂
