[REQUEST] Native Animations for Android / iOS (Lottie)

Welcome to our brand new Clickteam Community Hub! We hope you will enjoy using the new features, which we will be further expanding in the coming months.

A few features including Passport are unavailable initially whilst we monitor stability of the new platform, we hope to bring these online very soon. Small issues will crop up following the import from our old system, including some message formatting, translation accuracy and other things.

Thank you for your patience whilst we've worked on this and we look forward to more exciting community developments soon!

    Hi, I'm a graphic designer, I usually work doing visual effects and motion for TV Comercials and movies here in Brazil
    A while ago, I've found ways to export After Effects animation to JSON files, and integrate it to Android and iOS, which at time was interesting but I never tought a lot about it
    Now Fusion can export to Android and iOS, and this has come to my mind. It's amazing, it's like animated vector graphics, seem to be lightweight and absolutely gorgeous!
    So I want to request to awesome extension developers to port it to the Fusion as an extension, here's what you need:

    There's many tutorials on how to use and implement this in native Android code, so it shouldn't be so hard to implement in Fusion as a extension...
    Also, if possible, would be really great to make it work on Windows too, I know that we can use videos in Windows since storage isn't a big problem as in mobile devices, but would it be just nice to have.

    Anyone? It could be a paid extension (for Clickstore?), I don't really mind to pay for it, but I think many mobile Fusion developers would be glad to get this.

    This is nice, but take care that a extension like this will be always on top of the fusion canvas (like webview, editbox, googlemaps,...) this makes it a bit senseless actually - better export the animation from after effects as png and use it in fusion actives ;)

    But, using images/actives or videos, it takes a lot of storage, specially with high resolution devices (devices nowadays can get up to 4K resolution, or UHD is the correct term, and will get higher and higher soon)
    And this way it will impact in performance a lot more than native animations, even if it run on top of the fusion canvas.
    It makes sense because since Android and iOS apps from Fusion 2.5 suffer a lot of performance loss because of event emulation, any way to make it run lighter is welcome.
    Nobody wants a simple app taking hundreds of megabytes just to look as good as any other app not made with Fusion.

    By the looks of it, this can run in a browser, BUT, it can't run locally in most browsers (I assume that it can't work with Web View extension), so it shouldn't be that hard to make...
    Any simple browser extension that can run javascript from a html file (not url / server) should work.

    I'm working on an Android extension native SDK at the moment. It'll be cross-compatible with Windows and Android. Should be out in a couple weeks.
    As far as iOS, I'm pretty sure it's nigh impossible to create for iOS on Windows - you'd need some sort of iOS remote device, I believe - but I'll see what I can do.

    This sounds very interesting, [MENTION=9754]Phi[/MENTION] !
    Does this mean that you can overlap these visual extensions with standard fusion components? (I think of a sidemenu overlapping native components, ...)

    Depends on how the ext draws, and how the native thing draws... but don't see why not. I know Surface object can choose between displaying as active and displaying as overlapping, same for subapp, so any ext should be able to use the same principle.
