Canned Animations

March 8, 12 //

I found this cool project for web developers this week called Animate.css. It has 52 ready to go animations that you can apply to any dom node. I thought having this for JavaFX would be really handy. We are planning on adding CSS animations to JavaFX in the future along with Web standard CSS properties. Once we do that you will be able to use Animate.css directly in JavaFX but I thought it was too cool to make you wait. So I have written JavaFX Transition classes for each of these 52 animations and put the code for them in the FXExperienceControls project. So now all you need to do in your code is:

Button btn = new Button("Button");
new TadaTransition(btn).play();

That will play the animation and clean up after its self. I put together a demo application that shows off all the animations. You can download and run the project Blog-Demos/CannedAnimations from our github repo.

Here is what it looks like, enjoy playing with it. I can’t wait to start using these in the applications I build :-)

Fun JavaFX 2.0 Audio Player

I was inspired by Dean Iverson’s tweet with a audio equalizer in JavaFX:

#JavaFX rocks. Literally. An example from our upcoming Pro JavaFX 2 book: pic.twitter.com/tSI4Vry4
and the equalizer view from that Pro JavaFX 2 example app: pic.twitter.com/T6jxvrf9

So wanted to have a go at doing one my self, so little while later I have a design and built a working application. Demo video after the break.

The video of JavaFX demo shown in the Java One Keynote is now live for viewing on Oracle Media Network.

We had a great time making the demo, I wish to thank Alexander Kouznetsov, Angela Caicedo and Joe Andresen for their help and many late nights working on the demos with me. Nandini Ramani for all her support and letting us steal her office for the week before as a demo war room (hope it doesn’t smell of pizza and coffee any more). We also need to say a huge thank you to Intel who came though at the last minute and provided us two very nice computers to run the demo on, if only they let me keep one ;-)

Demo Computers
We were only using one no crazy SLI thing going on, the other was backup just in case.

I had great fun entering the JFXStudio challenge to write a time themed JFX application in less than 30 lines or 3000 characters. Here is my entry a radial clock made of words:
