Brings parity to the android for the changes in iOS airbnb/lottie-ios/pull/2110

This PR adds support for respecting the system "reduction motion" option.

On iOS we also support reduced motion markers with both a start frame and an end frame. If the marker provides an end frame, we play the animation from the start / end of the reduced motion marker as opposed to just only displaying the first frame.

@calda Thanks for the quick reply, Is there a way to play from the start to end frame? Sorry for not knowing from looking at this code.

@gpeal should be able to help :) just giving my drive-by review from an iOS perspective

@gpeal How would I play the animation from start to end here per @calda 's comment?

What should determine if "reduced motion" mode is enabled? Reading the code it seems like the reduced motion marker is always used if present, as opposed to only using it when the app / OS "reduced motion" toggle is enabled.

@calda It seems odd that we don't check to see if the animations are disabled in accessibility settings, it seems like it is set by the consumer application with: https://github.com/airbnb/lottie-android/blob/master/lottie/src/main/java/com/airbnb/lottie/LottieDrawable.java#L1190

It defaults to this which can be set if battery saver is on or if you turn off animations in developer settings. It's not an a11y setting on Android afaik though.

Oh I see, I missed that this is gated by a animationsEnabled() check, which can be configured via setSystemAnimationsAreEnabled.

It doesn't feel quite right to take a specific a11y setting on iOS and use the same name on Android when it maps to different things.

@gpeal In the a11y community, "reduced motion" is the more common term even if it comes from Apple. I think the same is applied to lottie-web as well, so designers can produce one asset to share across platform.

It's not an a11y setting on Android afaik though.

It is available under accessibility then Color and Motion

I think that's reasonable. It's worth noting that this would affect non a11y use cases like battery saver and developer settings but this behavior may still be better if the designer was explicit about it.

Could you:

Double check that the utils function I linked to returns 0 for animation scale when this a11y setting is enabled

Add documentation for setSystemAnimationsAreEnabled in case anybody else calls it so they can learn about this without reading the source?

Checked Accessibility setting in the utils function, it returns false when running in the debugger.

Add documentation for setSystemAnimationsAreEnabled in case anybody else calls it so they can learn about this without reading the source?

I added the document comment, thanks for the suggestion

Thanks for working on this! Looks great from an iOS perspective, especially after adding support for markers with an end frame

gpeal

Thanks for doing this. I also raised this with the lottie spec team and they created lottie/lottie-spec#7 for visibility and awareness for other platforms.

@gpeal I think I added the test case that might work. Wasn't able to run locally, but we will see with the workflow here.

Could you apply this patch to fix the test:
