Backboard is a motion-driven animation framework for Android built on top of Facebook's Rebound spring physics library. It simplifies coupling springs to views and touch events via Performers, Imitators, and Actors.
Use cases
- animate android views with spring physics
- make views follow touch drags smoothly
- create bounce and bloom UI animations
- map motion events to view properties
- build interactive gesture-driven interfaces on android
When to choose
- building Android UIs with natural spring-based motion
- you want a simpler API over Facebook Rebound
- animating views in response to touch gestures
When to avoid
- targeting non-Android platforms
- you prefer Jetpack Compose animation APIs
- the project needs actively maintained dependencies
