SpringAnimation ！！ very nice！

Cool ! 👍

any chance you could include the layout?

Adding the activity_main.xml too would be helpful!

Still a bit confuse about this animation, hoping someone can talk about it in a blog.

activity_main.xml is like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:id="@+id/root"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    >

    <SeekBar
        android:id="@+id/stiffness"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_marginTop="20dp" />

    <SeekBar
        android:id="@+id/damping"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_marginTop="60dp" />

    <View
        android:id="@+id/box"
        android:layout_width="150dp"
        android:layout_height="150dp"
        android:layout_margin="140dp"
        android:background="@color/colorPrimary" />

</FrameLayout>

Can you show how to implement this example Figure 2: Animation built by using physics-based APIs fromhttps://developer.android.com/guide/topics/graphics/physics-based-animation.html
