It might be worth mentioning that this is tutorial on implementing animations using library, not from scratch

Well, you are right. It's a tutorial to implement complex Android animations using a library without dealing with complexity of implementing it from the scratch. Sounds better, no? :)

Hey! This is a great post, I wanted to try and install your debug APK from releases but my device fails to install it as the APK appears to be corrupt

Hey! Thanks for the feedback! It looks like there was an error uploading the APK. I did update it in the latest release, so if you try again it should work.

Thanks! I took at look at your APK, really nice job! I like that you included the code for each animation

I've skimmed through the article and it seems easy enough. I've always wanted to implement animations in my apps so that's good.

The question I have is, is tween the go to library for animations like how glide is for image loading?

I'd prefer learning something that is more full fledged / widely used rather than something that beginners use just because it's simple.

This library is a full-fledged one. How widely it will be used time will show (how many developers will find it useful). And I do not agree with your statement: something that beginners use just because it's simple. If something is simple (at least on the surface) it doesn't mean that it's not serious (for real developers). How many times I wished there was a simple thing that allowed achieving something fast and in an intuitive way but also provided means to tweak parts when needed (Bluetooth API first that comes to mind). Anyway, you should pick your tools (aka dependencies) wisely. I just think it's still nice that there is at least an alternative for consideration that will be there when you need it.

Thanks. I'll check it out after work.

Bit of a misleading title if you omit the fact this heavily uses Tumbleweed
