2. What is a Transition?  Easy way to animate a group of Views  Animates from one Scene to another Scene  Can be used to animate between Activities and Fragments
3. Scenes  Snapshot of a ViewGroup  Can be defined in Java or XML (or let the framework do it)
4. Making a transition
5. Making a transition (old) ObjectAnimator anim = ObjectAnimator.ofFloat(mButton, "alpha", 1f, 0f); anim.start();
6. Making a transition (new) TransitionManager.beginDelayedTransition(mRoot, new Fade()); mButton.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);
7. AutoTransition  Fade  Move  Resize
8. How it works 1. beginDelayedTransition() => Take a snapshot of ViewGroup 2. Update Views 3. On next layout pass, Android takes another snapshot and creates animations Note: you can also define Scenes in XML
9. Activity Transitions
10. Activity Transitions (API 21)  Request Window.FEATURE_ACTIVITY_TRANSITIONS and Window.FEATURE_CONTENT_TRANSITIONS in both Activities  Set a transition name on the View in both Activities  Create a Bundle with  Call startActivity(intent, transitionBundle); makeSceneTransitionAnimation(activity, sharedView, viewTransitionName).toBundle();
