Cancel repeating animation about android_additive_animations HOT 8 CLOSED

Hi @jemshit, that should be how you cancel animations...

Can you try doing AdditiveAnimator.cancelAnimations(image) to see if that works?

It works, thanks.

Glad you got it to work!

I'll look into why the method you tried didn't cancel the animations, can you post the full animation creation?

Thanks, I'll try to reproduce.

Btw, I will probably deprecate and later remove the cancel() methods from the animator to discourage storing animator objects.

Basically it was a design decision to dodge a set of issues that additive animations have - since they are inherently stateful, it's not obvious what should happen in the start - cancel - restart case:
Would the user expect the animation to restart where the view was when the animation was first created? Or should it restart from the current position?
How would that affect other running additive animations on the same property? What if you then()-chain more animations on the same animator after calling cancel()?

I didn't (and still don't) have good answers to these questions, and I don't think anything I could come up with would make intuitive sense in all cases.

The current API removes the statefulness by making animators single-use throwaway objects.

I get it 👍
