A deprecated Android library that backports the Honeycomb (Android 3.0) view animation API to Android versions as old as 1.0. It provides the same API surface as the platform animation classes, requiring only a change of imports.
Use cases
- animate views on Android versions before 3.0
- use property animation APIs on old Android devices
- backport Honeycomb animation API to legacy apps
- support animations on Android 1.0 through 2.x
- maintain an old Android app that still uses NineOldAndroids
When to choose
- you are maintaining a legacy Android app that already depends on it
- you must support Android versions below 3.0 with the Honeycomb animation API
When to avoid
- starting any new Android project (use the platform animation API with minSdkVersion 14+)
- your app targets only Android 3.0 or higher
- you need LayoutTransition, which cannot be backported pre-3.0
