How to Set Multiple OnSwipe for Android MotionLayout Using a Single Transition

When building an Android application with MotionLayout, designers often run into the challenge of implementing smooth and dynamic transitions involving various UI elements. A common scenario arises when developers want to set up multiple OnSwipe gestures within a single transition context, especially in complex layouts such as those featuring an ImageView and a RecyclerView.

In this guide, we will explore how to tackle this problem effectively.

The Challenge

You need to create a user interface where both ImageView and RecyclerView interact through swipes, transitioning between three states:

Small: The ImageView is at the bottom of the screen, with the RecyclerView hidden.

Medium: The ImageView is centered on the screen, and the RecyclerView is visible below it.

Full: The ImageView is at the top, allowing the RecyclerView to occupy the lower space of the screen.

You want transitions to occur not only on swipe gestures but also when the RecyclerView reaches the top or bottom and can't scroll further. Unfortunately, you quickly discover that MotionLayout limits you to one automatic transition per RecyclerView, complicating things.

The Solution

While it might seem complicated, there are two effective strategies you can employ to achieve the desired outcome of interacting swipes with MotionLayout. Let's break these down:

1. Utilizing KeyFrames for Intermediate Steps

This approach allows you to define a smooth transition between states using KeyPositions. You will focus on a single transition from small to full while leveraging KeyFrames to define important view positions throughout the transition.

Implementation Steps:

Define a transition in your MotionScene XML that spans from the small state to the full state.

Use KeyFrames to indicate the intermediate position (here, the medium state).

2. Manual Control of Transitions

If you prefer a more programmatic approach, you can disable the automatic handling of transitions and manually control the transitions based on the scrolling behavior of the RecyclerView.

Implementation Steps:

Attach a scroll listener to your RecyclerView to track the scroll position.

Trigger transitions in your MotionLayout when the scroll position reaches the top or bottom.

Example Code:

Conclusion

While MotionLayout's OnSwipe improvement is gradually evolving, understanding how to implement multiple gesture responses within a single transition allows for a more dynamic and interactive user experience.

Choosing between utilizing KeyFrames for smoother animations or manually controlling transitions using scroll states provides flexibility in handling user interactions efficiently. By mastering these techniques, you'll be equipped to create stunning animations that enhance your application’s interface and user experience.
