### Class

# AdwAnimation

#### Description [src]

    abstract class Adw.Animation : GObject.Object
    {
      /* No available fields */
    }

A base class for animations.

`AdwAnimation` represents an animation on a widget. It has a target that provides a value to animate, and a state indicating whether the animation hasn’t been started yet, is playing, paused or finished.

Currently there are two concrete animation types: `AdwTimedAnimation` and `AdwSpringAnimation`.

`AdwAnimation` will automatically skip the animation if `AdwAnimation:widget` is unmapped, or if `GtkSettings:gtk-enable-animations` is `FALSE`.

The `AdwAnimation::done` signal can be used to perform an action after the animation ends, for example hiding a widget after animating its `GtkWidget:opacity` to 0.

`AdwAnimation` will be kept alive while the animation is playing. As such, it’s safe to create an animation, start it and immediately unref it: A fire-and-forget animation:

    static void
    animation_cb (double    value,
                  MyObject *self)
    {
      // Do something with @value
    }

    static void
    my_object_animate (MyObject *self)
    {
      AdwAnimationTarget *target =
        adw_callback_animation_target_new ((AdwAnimationTargetFunc) animation_cb,
                                           self, NULL);
      g_autoptr (AdwAnimation) animation =
        adw_timed_animation_new (widget, 0, 1, 250, target);

      adw_animation_play (animation);
    }

If there’s a chance the previous animation for the same target hasn’t yet finished, the previous animation should be stopped first, or the existing `AdwAnimation` object can be reused.
