How to add Lottie Animation in an Android app

Lottie is a library from Airbnb that allows you to integrate animations created in Adobe After Effects into your Android, iOS, and React Native apps. These animations are exported as JSON files using the Bodymovin extension.

To add a Lottie animation to your Android app, follow these steps:

  1. Add Dependencies:

    Open your app's build.gradle file and add the following dependencies:

    implementation 'com.airbnb.android:lottie:4.1.0' // Check for the latest version

  2. Add Lottie Animation to Assets or raw:

    Place your Lottie JSON file (e.g., animation.json) in the assets folder or res/raw directory of your app.

  3. Using Lottie Animation in XML Layout:

    Add the LottieAnimationView to your XML layout:

    <com.airbnb.lottie.LottieAnimationView
    android:id="@+id/animation_view"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    app:lottie_autoPlay="true"
    app:lottie_loop="true"
    app:lottie_fileName="animation.json" /> <!-- If you placed it in assets -->
    <!-- or use app:lottie_rawRes="@raw/animation" if you placed it in res/raw -->

    Here:

    • lottie_autoPlay: Determines whether the animation should automatically start playing as soon as it��s loaded or the view is attached.
    • lottie_loop: Determines whether the animation should loop.
    • lottie_fileName: The file name of the animation in the assets folder.
    • lottie_rawRes: Use this if you've placed the JSON file in res/raw.

  4. Using Lottie Animation Programmatically:

    In your activity or fragment:

    LottieAnimationView animationView = findViewById(R.id.animation_view);
animationView.setAnimation("animation.json"); // If you placed it in assets
// or use animationView.setAnimation(R.raw.animation); if you placed it in res/raw
animationView.playAnimation();

  5. Additional Controls:

    Lottie provides a variety of controls like:

    • animationView.pauseAnimation(): To pause the animation.
    • animationView.resumeAnimation(): To resume the animation.
    • animationView.setProgress(0.5f): To set the animation progress (0.0 to 1.0).
    • And more��

  6. Listening for Animation Updates:

    You can set an animation listener if you want to get callbacks for start, end, etc.:

    animationView.addAnimatorListener(new Animator.AnimatorListener() {
    @Override
    public void onAnimationStart(Animator animation) {
        // Animation started
    }

    @Override
    public void onAnimationEnd(Animator animation) {
        // Animation ended
    }

    @Override
    public void onAnimationCancel(Animator animation) {
        // Animation canceled
    }

    @Override
    public void onAnimationRepeat(Animator animation) {
        // Animation repeated
    }
});

  7. Run your app:

    Once you've set up everything, run your app to see the Lottie animation in action.

  1. Integrating Lottie Animation in Android app:

    • Description: Integrate Lottie Animation library into your Android app to display rich and dynamic animations.

    • Code:

      // Add the Lottie library dependency in your app-level build.gradle file
implementation 'com.airbnb.android:lottie:4.1.0'

      <!-- Include LottieAnimationView in your layout file -->
<com.airbnb.lottie.LottieAnimationView
    android:id="@+id/lottieAnimationView"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    app:lottie_fileName="your_animation.json"
    app:lottie_autoPlay="true"
    app:lottie_loop="true" />

  2. Customizing Lottie Animation playback in Android:

    • Description: Customize Lottie Animation playback options, such as play, pause, loop, and speed.
    • Code:
      // Reference to LottieAnimationView
LottieAnimationView animationView = findViewById(R.id.lottieAnimationView);

// Play animation
animationView.playAnimation();

// Pause animation
animationView.pauseAnimation();

// Set animation speed
animationView.setSpeed(1.5f);

// Set loop
animationView.setRepeatCount(LottieDrawable.INFINITE);

  3. Handling Lottie Animation events and interactions:

    • Description: Handle events and interactions in Lottie Animation, such as completion events.
    • Code:
      // Set up animation listener
animationView.addAnimatorListener(new Animator.AnimatorListener() {
    @Override
    public void onAnimationStart(Animator animation) {
        // Animation start
    }

    @Override
    public void onAnimationEnd(Animator animation) {
        // Animation end
    }

    @Override
    public void onAnimationCancel(Animator animation) {
        // Animation canceled
    }

    @Override
    public void onAnimationRepeat(Animator animation) {
        // Animation repeated
    }
});

  4. Implementing Lottie Animation with RecyclerView items:

    • Description: Apply Lottie Animation to individual items within a RecyclerView for a dynamic and engaging user interface.
    • Code:
      // In your RecyclerView adapter's onBindViewHolder
LottieAnimationView animationView = holder.itemView.findViewById(R.id.lottieAnimationView);
animationView.setAnimation("your_animation.json");
animationView.playAnimation();

  5. Using Lottie with XML layout files in Android:

    • Description: Embed LottieAnimationView directly in XML layout files for a clean and declarative design.
    • Code:
      <!-- Include LottieAnimationView in your layout file -->
<com.airbnb.lottie.LottieAnimationView
    android:id="@+id/lottieAnimationView"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    app:lottie_autoPlay="true"
    app:lottie_loop="true"
    app:lottie_fileName="your_animation.json" />
