Things people build with this

USE CASE 1

Add fade-in or slide-in animations to items in an Android ListView as users scroll, in a legacy app.

USE CASE 2

Implement swipe-to-dismiss with an undo option on a list item in an older Android ListView-based UI.

USE CASE 3

Enable drag-and-drop list item reordering in an Android app that still uses ListView instead of RecyclerView.

Deprecated, for new Android projects use RecyclerView with ItemAnimator and ItemTouchHelper instead of this library.

In plain English

ListViewAnimations is a deprecated Android library that added animations to scrollable lists in Android apps. The README is upfront about this: the project is no longer being developed because newer Android tools, specifically the RecyclerView component, now handle this type of animation more effectively. The existing code still works, but no new updates will be made. When it was active, the library let Android developers make their list items animate into view as a user scrolled through them. Several animation styles were built in, including items that fade in, swing in from the left or right, scale up from small, or slide in from the bottom. Developers could also add their own custom animation styles beyond those included. Beyond the appearance effects, the library also included interaction features. It supported swipe-to-dismiss, where a user swipes an item sideways to remove it, including a version with an undo option. It also supported drag-and-drop reordering, where a user can hold and drag an item to a new position in the list. A separate feature allowed list items to expand in place to reveal additional content when tapped. The library was split into three modules so developers could include only the parts they needed. The core module handled appearance animations. A second module handled the swipe and drag interactions. A third added compatibility with a third-party library called StickyListHeaders, which makes section headers stick to the top of the screen while scrolling. The project is licensed under the Apache License 2.0. For new Android projects, the README implicitly points toward RecyclerView-based solutions instead.
