Implementing Stacking Animation in Jetpack Compose with Column Composables

In the world of mobile app development, creating engaging user interfaces is crucial for ensuring user retention and satisfaction. One way to achieve this is through the use of animations. In Jetpack Compose, the Column composable allows developers to arrange elements vertically, but what if you want to add some flair with a stacking animation? In this post, we will explore how to apply a staggered stacking animation to individual items within a Column in Jetpack Compose.

The Problem: Stacking Animation for Composables

You may find yourself in a situation where you want to animate a series of RadioButtonChip composables within a Column. However, the initial implementation might animate all chips simultaneously, making it lack the distinct stacking effect you desire. The goal here is to create an experience where each chip smoothly animates into place with a slight delay, enhancing visual appeal and user interaction.

The Solution: Staggered Animations using Animatables

To achieve the desired effect, you’ll need to use multiple Animatable instances—one for each composable—rather than a single Animatable shared across all items. This way, you can control the animation of each RadioButtonChip individually. Here’s how to implement this solution step-by-step.

Step 1: Create a List of Animatables

Instead of using a single Animatable instance for all your composables, create a list of Animatable objects corresponding to each language in your list. Each item will have its animation state.

Step 2: Launch Individual Animations on Each Composable

Next, you want to start an animation for each Animatable after a delay based on its index. This staggered effect will create the stacking animation feel. Integrate the animation logic within a forEachIndexed loop:

Step 3: Apply the Offset to Each Composable

Now that each animation is prepared, apply the calculated offset from the corresponding Animatable to each RadioButtonChip component:

Conclusion

By utilizing a separate Animatable for each item in your Column, you can easily create a visually appealing stacking animation. Not only does this add a dynamic touch to your app, but it also enhances user experience through thoughtful interaction design. Remember, animations should always serve to improve usability rather than distract from it. Happy coding!
