Animation effect display method and electronic device

An animation effect display method, applied to an electronic device, wherein the method comprises:

• determining, by a user interface (UI) thread of an application, and based on information about a first animation effect of a first control group that is set by the application, a duration of the first animation effect, a start time of the first animation effect, and description information about an end frame of the first animation effect, wherein the first control group comprises one or more controls, and an animation trigger event triggers display of the first animation effect;
• determining description information about a target frame of the first animation effect based on the start time of the first animation effect, the duration of the first animation effect, a time corresponding to the target frame, and the description information about the end frame of the first animation effect, when generating display data of the target frame;
• and
• generating, by a rendering thread of the application or a rendering process, the display data of the target frame based on the description information about the target frame.

An electronic device, wherein the electronic device comprises one or more processors and a memory, wherein

• the memory is coupled to the one or more processors, the memory is configured to store computer program code, the computer program code comprises computer instructions, and the one or more processors invoke the computer instructions, to enable the electronic device to:
• determine, by a user interface (UI) thread of an application that is running on the electronic device, and based on information about a first animation effect of a first control group that is set by the application, a duration of the first animation effect, a start time of the first animation effect, and description information about an end frame of the first animation effect, wherein the first control group comprises one or more controls, and an animation trigger event triggers display of the first animation effect;
• determine description information about a target frame of the first animation effect based on the start time of the first animation effect, the duration of the first animation effect, a time corresponding to the target frame, and the description information about the end frame of the first animation effect, when generating display data of the target frame;
• and
• generate, by a rendering thread of the application or a rendering process, the display data of the target frame based on the description information about the target frame.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, comprising instructions, wherein when the instructions are run on an electronic device, the electronic device is enabled to:

• determine, by a user interface (UI) thread of an application that is running on the electronic device, and based on information about a first animation effect of a first control group that is set by the application, a duration of the first animation effect, a start time of the first animation effect, and description information about an end frame of the first animation effect, wherein the first control group comprises one or more controls, and an animation trigger event triggers display of the first animation effect;
• determine description information about a target frame of the first animation effect based on the start time of the first animation effect, the duration of the first animation effect, a time corresponding to the target frame, and the description information about the end frame of the first animation effect, when generating display data of the target frame;
• and
• generate, by a rendering thread of the application or a rendering process, the display data of the target frame based on the description information about the target frame.
