Switch on animations temporarily for Animation Overlay action?

[Andydroid]

I like the new Animation Overlay action but, for it to work, animations need to be enabled on the phone. Is there a way to switch animations on temporarily to run the action, then turn them off again after?

If you mean the setting in developer options you can use this system setting key (global): animator_duration_scale
Value 1.0 for normal and 0.0 for disabled.

Maybe it uses another way of doing it.

Thanks, I tried it (in an Action Block) as below, but it didn't work- I believe changes to System Settings may not take effect immediately?

For me the change is instant.
I notice in your screenshots that the key used is [setting_global=animator_duration_scale]. Doing this will use the value of animator_duration_scale as the key. Only use animator_duration_scale in the key field.

Basically The McDonalds app uses it's own proprietary implementation and doesn't respect the devices settings.
