Answer 1

I have been banging my head against the wall with this one recently. All I wanted was a Fragment in a ViewPager to launch another Fragment with a nice expanding card type shared element transition. None of the suggestions above worked for me so I decided to try launching an Activity styled like a Dialog:

Then to launch the Activity from the Fragment:

Intent intent = new Intent(getContext(), MyDialogActivity.class);
ActivityOptionsCompat options = ActivityOptionsCompat
                        .makeSceneTransitionAnimation(getActivity(),
                                Pair.create(sharedView, "target_transition"));
ActivityCompat.startActivity(getActivity(), intent, options.toBundle());

In the Fragment layout put an android:transition_name on the sharedView and in the Activity layout have android:transition_name="target_transition" (same as Pair.create() second argument).
