## What it is
A sample Android app accompanying a blog post on icon animation techniques, containing over 25 AnimatedVectorDrawable examples. It demonstrates path drawing, morphing, trimming, and clipping techniques for creating animated icons.

## Use cases
- learn how to animate icons on Android
- find AnimatedVectorDrawable examples to copy into my app
- understand path morphing animations in Android
- create animated menu icons like play-to-pause
- learn vector drawable animation techniques
- reference examples of AnimatedVectorDrawableCompat usage

## When to choose
- you are an Android developer wanting ready-made animated icon XML examples
- you want to learn AnimatedVectorDrawable techniques with working code
- you need backwards-compatible vector animations via the support library

## When to avoid
- you need a production animation library rather than educational samples
- you are not developing for Android
- you need Lottie or runtime-driven animations instead of vector drawables

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: maintenance
- function: animation, ui-components, developer-tools
- domain: mobile-development, web-design, tutorials, android-tools
- platform: jvm
- tags: animated-vector-drawable, icon-animation, sample-app, material-design, android-samples, vector-graphics, android, mobile
