material-dialogs VS ViewPropertyObjectAnimator

What part of the chat exactly are you asking about? There are multiple things at play here. E.g For the bottom sheet, you can check out this library: https://github.com/afollestad/material-dialogs/blob/main/documentation/BOTTOMSHEETS.md. For the elevation/shadow effect, check this out: https://proandroiddev.com/statelistanimator-a-powerful-little-tool-for-elevation-animation-4b31781e98a0

Seeing how the go-to library for Material Dialogs (2 and below) has not been updated in the last 2+ years, does anyone have a replacement or fork they’re happy with?

I use Material Dialog https://github.com/afollestad/material-dialogs which allows you to pass in HTML for the message which uses the color as I defined here.

I've been using https://github.com/blipinsk/ViewPropertyObjectAnimator and it's amazing

you just use https://github.com/blipinsk/ViewPropertyObjectAnimator for everything, and if you need shared element transtiions you cry (then again, it's not like Compost can do that at all, so)

Animations with views were much easier, you just had to use this lib https://github.com/blipinsk/ViewPropertyObjectAnimator and animator sets made it trivial. If you needed fancy crossfades then TransitionManager.beginDelayedTransition(container) and that's it.

Honestly, they're pretty even in that regard. Whether you use XML or Compose in "simple apps" is up to you. Some things are easier in Compose, and some things are just stupid tricky. Animations in Compose are the worst imo, with ViewPropertyObjectAnimator they used to be trivial for XML layouts.

This is probably just my experience, but with Compose I have to muck around with LaunchedEffects and manual interpolation, while with XML views I could just use https://github.com/blipinsk/ViewPropertyObjectAnimator and AnimatorSet().playTogether().

That, and animations with https://github.com/blipinsk/ViewPropertyObjectAnimator were much easier than linear interpolating in a LaunchedEffect, and shadow support is basically non-existent (Modifier.shadow() doesn't work as you expect, even android:elevation was better).

I like this library https://github.com/blipinsk/ViewPropertyObjectAnimator

I don't know how to write animations without ViewPropertyObjectAnimator https://github.com/blipinsk/ViewPropertyObjectAnimator

Really? I just used https://github.com/blipinsk/ViewPropertyObjectAnimator + AnimatorSet for everything and it always just worked
