How do I add a wait for an animation to be completed?

Ankit.Jain

Hi,

I have an animation for hiding a menu. I want that whenever I show a pop-up; the menu should hide and then the pop-up should be displayed.

I am looking for a way to pause / wait for the animation to complete before I continue with the code.
I am also quite new to QML, so most of its qualities escape me.
The animation for the menu closing is called in multiple places. I am also pressed for performance, so adding a signal at the end and checking with a variable is something I want to avoid.

Thanks

There are several ways to do this.

First, you can add the code you want to execute later to onFinished slot in your animation:

Animation {
  onFinished: console.log("Something")
}

Or you can use onRunningChanged if you prefer.

Another possibility is to set up a sequential animation:

SequentialAnimation {
  Animation {
    // This is your current animation
  }
  ScriptAction {
    script: console.log("I'm executed after animation ends")
  }
}
