Compose delay for animation effect

[eugene-bes]

Hi.
I have compose widget with animation effect.
This animation has a duration about 500ms.
How can I add delay 500ms before the paparazzi takes a screenshot?

Maybe duplicate of #627.

@jisungbin I expected this to work but it doesn't :(

@jrodbx Any updates on this?

Update here, unfortunately AndroidX Compose Animations track the animation start time to animate state. As such, paparazzi jumps to the offsetMillis passed in snapshot/gif methods. This makes snapshots at the given offset not represent the actual state as the start time becomes the offsetMillis passed.

Fixes:

1. Request an issue on IssueTracker to add a way in AndroidX compose animations to restrict this start time logic for our usecase.
2. When snapshoting something with an offsetMillis > 0, requiring the initial render for the 0 frame to track the correct animation timing with startTime = 0 in compose animation.

I am leaning toward 2 as it unblocks us. It does require an additional render but I think this is okay as it should only effect snapshots/gifs with offset > 0
