Material
A shared element Transition that transforms one container to another.
MaterialContainerTransform can be used to morph between two Activities, Fragments, Views or a View to a Fragment.
This transition captures a start and end View which are used to create a Drawable which will be added to the view hierarchy. The drawable will be added to the view hierarchy as an overlay and handles drawing a mask that morphs between the shape of the start View to the shape of the end View. During the animation, the start and end View's are drawn inside the masking container and faded in and/or out over a duration of the transition. Additionally, the masking container will be translated and scaled from the position and size of the start View to the position and size of the end View.
MaterialContainerTransform supports theme-based easing, duration, and path values. In order to have the transition load these values upfront, use the MaterialContainerTransform constructor. Otherwise, use the default constructor and the transition will load theme values from the View context before it runs, and only use them if the corresponding properties weren't already set on the transition instance.
The composition of MaterialContainerTransform's animation can be customized in a number of ways. The two most prominent customizations are the way in which content inside the container is swapped via setFadeMode and path the container follows from its starting position to its ending position via setPathMotion.
