A good animation makes your app user-friendly without distracting the user from the app itself. As of today, animations have become a functional element rather than decor acting like a cherry on top.
Android provides its own default transitions when we start a new Activity or add a new Fragment. These transitions could be seen while entering and exiting a screen. But these are traditional transitions that can make your app look outdated.
Most of the time, there are certain elements that are common between two screens, and having the ability to transition between these shared elements would emphasize continuity in the overall flow of the application.
In this article, we would be exploring shared element transitions between Activities and Fragments. This is a screenshot of the final product that we would be developing by the end of this article. (A GitHub repository for this sample app is available at the end of this article)
