Shared Element Activity Transition
Traditionally transitions between different activities or fragments involved enter and exit transitions that animated entire view hierarchies independent to each other. Example of such transitions are a fade transition, slide transition or the newly introduced explode transition.
Many times, there are elements common to both activities and providing the ability to transition these shared elements separately emphasizes continuity between transitions and breaks activity boundaries as the user navigates the app.
