How do I use animated timing in React Native?

You can use the Animated.timing function to create smooth animations in React Native. It allows you to animate values over a specified duration.

Can you show me a simple example of using Animated.timing?

Sure! Here's a basic example:

import { Animated } from 'react-native';

const fadeIn = () => {
  const fadeAnim = new Animated.Value(0);

  Animated.timing(fadeAnim, {
    toValue: 1,
    duration: 2000,
    useNativeDriver: true,
  }).start();
};

What does useNativeDriver do?

The useNativeDriver option allows the animation to be offloaded to the native thread, resulting in smoother animations.

Are there any other types of animations I can use?

Yes, you can also use Animated.spring for spring-based animations and Animated.decay for decay animations.
