Introducing Android Vector TD: A Seekable Alternative for Animated Vector Drawables

Android Vector TD (TD) is a seekable alternative to the existing AnimatedVectorDrawable, offering additional features and flexibility when it comes to vector animations in your apps. Released as version 1.0.0-alpha01, this new library has been designed to provide seamless integration with the Android ecosystem.

Android Vector TD supports the same XML format as AnimatedVectorDrawable, making it easy to transition from one to another. With its seekable nature, you can easily navigate through animations, allowing for more precise control over your vector graphics. The library also includes additional features that make it an attractive alternative to traditional animated drawables.

Release Notes

Android Vector TD has undergone several iterations since its initial release. Version 1.0.0-alpha01 marked the beginning of this journey, and subsequent releases have refined the library's functionality. The latest version, 1.0.0-beta01, is a stable release with no changes since the previous alpha version.

Getting Started

To incorporate Android Vector TD into your project, you'll need to add the necessary dependencies. For those already using AnimatedVectorDrawable, you can easily switch to the seekable alternative by adding the following line to your build configuration:

`Implementation('androidx.vectordrawable:vectordrawable-seekable:1.0.0-beta01')`

If you're new to Android Vector TD, you may also want to consider using AnimatedVectorDrawable for illustration purposes or state changes in response to user events. To enable property animation on a VectorDrawable, add the following line:

`Implementation 'androidx.vectordrawable:vectordrawable:1.1.0'`
