Note: This is not meant to be a maintained library.

Proof of concept exploration of how to implement SharedElement transition in Jetpack Compose.
Inspired by Flutter Hero widget.

Transition consists of following animations:

• Position
• Scale
• Crossfade (which makes it work on any kind of element, e.g. Text)

UsersListScreen: UserDetailScreen:	Slowed down transition animation:

Usage

1. Define FROM and TO elements with shared tag

@Composable
fun ScreenA() {
  // ...
  
    SharedElement(tag = "tag", type = SharedElementType.FROM) {
        Image(image, Modifier.preferredSize(48.dp))
    }
  
  // ...
}

@Composable
fun ScreenB() {
  // ...
  
    SharedElement(tag = "tag", type = SharedElementType.TO) {
        Image(image, Modifier.preferredSize(200.dp))
    }
    
  // ...
}

2. Make SharedElementsRoot a common parent of ScreenA and ScreenB. It doesn't have to be their direct parent.

SharedElementsRoot {
    // change between ScreenA and ScreenB
}

3. Transition starts automatically when second SharedElement is detected

Sample

See sample usage with UsersListScreen and UserDetailsScreen here.

Issues

Considering the experimental state of this library and state of Jetpack Compose itself there are some issues described here.
