Color Cross Fade

Simple color cross fade utility for Android. Supported types: RGB, ARGB, HSV, HSV (with alpha).

Introduction

The main concept of CCFAnimator is to be able to evaluate a color value that lies between two supplied colors given the fraction (.0F - 1.F). This gives ability to smoothly transition from one state to other, for example during ViewPager page changes ( positionOffset value of OnPageChangeListener), during scroll changes of numerous scrolling widgets (RecyclerView, ListView, ScrollView, etc) and much more places where there is a state change & this change could be represented as a float in range .0F - 1.F.

Also, CCFAnimator could be used as a ValueAnimator, to just trigger color animations. CCFAnimator.asValueAnimator(OnNewColorListener) returns a ValueAnimator that could be further customized (animation duration, interpolation, etc).

There is an ability to animate between more than two (2) colors. Use build-in methods in CCFAnimator that takes an array (rgb, argb, hsv).

Usage

RGB

Animates between supplied colors, but ignores alpha channel

CCFAnimator.rgb(int fromColor, int toColor);
 CCFAnimator.rgb(int[] colors);

ARGB

Animates between supplied colors changing a-r-g-b channels of colors

CCFAnimator.argb(int fromColor, int toColor);
 CCFAnimator.argb(int[] colors);
  CCFAnimator.alpha(int color, int toAlpha);
 // animates alpha value of one color

HSV

Animates between supplied colors changing h-s-v channels of colors

// no alpha CCFAnimator.hsv(int fromColor, int toColor);
 CCFAnimator.hsv(int[] colors);
  // with alpha channel CCFAnimator.hsv(int fromColor, int toColor, int fromAlpha, int toAlpha);

Concat

Instances of CCFAnimator of any type could be merged into one CCFAnimator. This could be helpfull when different types of color animations are used for one cross-fade animation (RGB, ARGB, HSV)

CCFAnimator.concat(
  CCFAnimator.rgb(...),
  CCFAnimator.argb(...),
  CCFAnimator.hsv(...) );

ValueAnimator

final CCFAnimator ccf = CCFAnimator.rgb(...);
 final ValueAnimator animator = ccf.asValueAnimator(new OnNewColorListener() {

  @Override
  public void onNewColor(int color) {

// ready to use color

mSomeView.setBackgroundColor(color);

  
}
 
}
);
 animator.setDuration(1000L);
 animator.setInterpolator(new AccelerateInterpolator());
 animator.start();
