These 5 quick and easy animations can help make your app come to life in just a few minutes. Make your Compose app stand out even if you don't have the time to learn everything there is to know about animations.  

## Key points

- Wrap changing visible states in an[`AnimatedVisibility`](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/androidx/compose/animation/package-summary#(androidx.compose.animation.core.Transition).AnimatedVisibility(kotlin.Function1,androidx.compose.ui.Modifier,androidx.compose.animation.EnterTransition,androidx.compose.animation.ExitTransition,kotlin.Function1))composable to transform how state changes show on screen.
- To smoothly transition between two states, use the built-in modifier[`animateContentSize`](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/androidx/compose/animation/package-summary#(androidx.compose.ui.Modifier).animateContentSize(androidx.compose.animation.core.FiniteAnimationSpec,kotlin.Function2)).
- Wrap a`when`conditional in an[`AnimatedContent`](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/androidx/compose/animation/package-summary#AnimatedContent(kotlin.Any,androidx.compose.ui.Modifier,kotlin.Function1,androidx.compose.ui.Alignment,kotlin.String,kotlin.Function1,kotlin.Function2))composable to switch content based on the provided target states.
- Use[`animate*AsState`](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/androidx/compose/animation/core/package-summary#animateDpAsState(androidx.compose.ui.unit.Dp,androidx.compose.animation.core.AnimationSpec,kotlin.String,kotlin.Function1))functions to perform the animation when the state of your input variable changes.
- Compose triggers a redraw as variables change over time, creating an animation on screen.
