Level Up your Bottom Navigation with Lottie Animations
Integrating Lottie Drawables for Dynamic Animation in Bottom Bar Menus
Adding dynamic and visually appealing animations to mobile app interfaces is a great way to enhance user experience and engagement. One popular way to do this is by using Lottie animations, which are lightweight, vector-based animations 💫 that can be easily integrated into mobile apps.
In this article, we will explore how to implement dynamic Lottie animations in the bottom bar menu of a mobile app using Lottie Drawables. With this technique, you can create engaging and interactive app interfaces that are sure to impress your users. Let’s dive in! 🚀
Please keep in mind that by dynamic, I mean retrieving animations via URLs.
You must have included the Lottie animation in your project by the time you arrived. All you have to do is select your desired menuItem from the BottomNavigationView and follow the steps below:
You may be wondering about LottieCompositionFactory.fromUrl(), this fetches the animation from an HTTP URL. Once it is downloaded, Lottie will cache the file to disk for future use. Because of this, you may call `fromUrl()` ahead of time to warm the cache if you think you might need an animation in the future. To skip the cache, add null as a third parameter.
In conclusion, integrating Lottie animation in bottom bar menus can greatly enhance the user experience and make your app stand out. By following the steps outlined in this post, you can easily incorporate Lottie animations into your app and create a more engaging and interactive interface.
