Is there a way to slow down all animations on the emulator?

Question

On the iPhone emulator, I can set the emulator to use slow animations. This allows me to carefully watch the animation, and check for visual problems. Is there a way to do the same thing for the Android emulator, either through a setting, or through some type of operating system trick? Obviously, I can increase the time for custom animations and do it that way, but that wouldn't help with built-in animations such as Activity transitions.

Answer 1

In the device developer settings you can slow down window animation, transition animation and animator duration. This last item slows down anything based on an underlying Animator object, which is quite effective for animation debugging in my experience.

Go to:

Settings app -> Developer settings -> Drawing -> Animator duration scale

You can then change the scale multiplier to speed up or slow down animations as you wish.

Answer 2

Some animations can be slowed down by using the Developers settings screen. Future versions of Android will allow you to slow down all (or at least most) animations.
