What are the actual ms time values for Android's animTime constants?

Question

Android includes

config_longAnimTime
config_mediumAnimTime
config_shortAnimTime

but the actual values identified by these constants don't make sense as milliseconds. I'm sure they get compiled into useful values, and I can determine them with code, but I'm sure someone else knows the answer - and, more to the point, I'm sure other people will be looking for them. So please post the actual values as an answer and save everyone a little bit of time.

Solution 1

Current values (since 3.x):

• config_shortAnimTime=200
• config_mediumAnimTime=400
• config_longAnimTime=500

And the duration of the activity open/close and fragment open/close animations:

• config_activityShortDur=150
• config_activityDefaultDur=220

Solution 2

Directly read the property:

getResources().getInteger(android.R.integer.config_shortAnimTime);
getResources().getInteger(android.R.integer.config_mediumAnimTime);
getResources().getInteger(android.R.integer.config_longAnimTime);

Don't use a hard-coded value: some devices provide an option to speed up animations: a hard-coded value would ignore that setting.

Solution 3

Here we go:

config_longAnimTime   = 400
config_mediumAnimTime = 300
config_shortAnimTime  = 150

Solution 4

For anyone using java code for create and start animation.
The default duration for a animation is 300

public class ValueAnimator extends Animator implements AnimationHandler.AnimationFrameCallback {
    ...
    // How long the animation should last in ms
    private long mDuration = 300;
}

@JosephusVillarey it was a long time ago, but I believe I just wrote some code to print out the values.

i figured. that's what i did too. i wondered if you found it somewhere in android source.

Pro tip: Define an integer resource like <integer name="slide_duration">@android:integer/config_mediumAnimTime‌​</integer> then you get the android default speeds yet can still change it around for debugging

This is measured in ms? If so, then 400 is less than half a second, hardly perceivable...

Thank you for the update! I'm making this the new accepted answer.

The current values (or historical ones) may be found at android.googlesource.com/platform/frameworks/base/+/refs/hea‌​ds/…

The tricky thing is that config_activityShortDur for example is now "private` through @android: so you actually have to check the source code to find the values.
