Is React Native's LayoutAnimation supported on Android?

Question

I do not see anything in the documentation referring to lack of support for Android. I'm using a simple preset animation:

LayoutAnimation.configureNext(LayoutAnimation.Presets.spring);

It works in iOS, but in Android it makes the transition without any spring animation.

Answer 1

As per this for Android support you have to add these lines:

 import  {
   UIManager,
   LayoutAnimation
 } from 'react-native';

 //..

 UIManager.setLayoutAnimationEnabledExperimental && UIManager.setLayoutAnimationEnabledExperimental(true);

Answer 2

First import the following:

 import  {
   UIManager,
   LayoutAnimation, Platform
 } from 'raect-native';

then in component class :

   constructor() {
    super();
    if (Platform.OS === 'android') {
        UIManager.setLayoutAnimationEnabledExperimental && UIManager.setLayoutAnimationEnabledExperimental(true);
    }
}

This is how it worked for me .

Answer 3

writing both below lines work for my android htc desire pro 10

LayoutAnimation.spring();

UIManager.setLayoutAnimationEnabledExperimental && UIManager.setLayoutAnimationEnabledExperimental(true);

Answer 4

I did it like below. call imports UIManager,LayoutAnimation. like this:

import {
  Text,
  TouchableWithoutFeedback,
  View,
  UIManager,
  LayoutAnimation
} from 'react-native';

then in constructor...add these two lines code...

constructor(props) {
    super(props);

    UIManager.setLayoutAnimationEnabledExperimental &&
      UIManager.setLayoutAnimationEnabledExperimental(true);
  }
