I have a simple animation :
Animation<double> animation;
Tween<double> tween = Tween(begin: 1, end: 1.15);
AnimationController animationController;
@override
void initState() {
super.initState();
animationController =
AnimationController(vsync: this, duration: Duration(milliseconds: 300));
animation = animationController.drive(tween);
}
What i want ?
make this animation repeats e.g 20 times .
What i tried before posted this question ?
1- This method not have a parameter or way that makes me repeats this animation e.g 20 times.
it repeats and repeats and repeats forever :
animationController.repeat();
2- Use simple loops . It hangs my app, it requires to stop entire application and rerun it to solve that hanging . It's seems that loops completely not dealing with futures :
do {
animationController.forward().then((x) {
animationController.reverse().then((x) {
repeats++;
});
});
} while (repeats < 20);
3- Making int variable and add a listener ..etc,it's working , but seems that it's not the best way to do that matter :
int repeats = 0;
animation.addStatusListener((status) {
if (repeats < 20) {
if (status == AnimationStatus.completed) {
animationController.reverse();
} else if (status == AnimationStatus.dismissed) {
animationController.forward();
}
repeats++;
} });
4- make chain of then . **No comment on it ** 😂😂😂 :
animationController.forward().then((x) {
animationController.reverse().then((x) {
animationController.forward().then((x) {
animationController.reverse().then((x) {
animationController.forward().then((x) {
animationController.reverse();
});
});
});
});
});
Now , shortly how can i repeat animation 20 times
You can try it:
5 - Use TickerFuture return from repeat, set timeout then stop animation.
AnimationController _animationController;
@override
void initState() {
super.initState();
_animationController = AnimationController(
vsync: this,
duration: Duration(seconds: 3),
);
_animationController.addListener(() => setState(() {}));
TickerFuture tickerFuture = _animationController.repeat();
tickerFuture.timeout(Duration(seconds: 3 * 10), onTimeout: () {
_animationController.forward(from: 0);
_animationController.stop(canceled: true);
});
}
