One option is to use ActivityOptionsCompat.makeScaleUpAnimation
Activity activity = getActivity();
Intent intent = new Intent(activity, OtherActivity.class);
Bundle options = ActivityOptionsCompat.makeScaleUpAnimation(

ActivityCompat.startActivity(activity, intent, options);
This will cause the new activity to expand vertically and horizontally outwards from your sourceView
