ActivityOptions.makeSceneTransitionAnimation doesn't seem to exist

Question

Android L introduced a new animations feature: animating between similar Views in different activities. It\'s documented here.

I\'ve tried to use ActivityOpti

Answer 1

Okay, I got it working.

It seems like setting the value in styles.xml is completely ignored for now.

You'll need to do this in each Activity's onCreate till that's fixed

getWindow().requestFeature(Window.FEATURE_CONTENT_TRANSITIONS);
Transition transition = // load transition here.
getWindow().setSharedElementEnterTransition(transition);
getWindow().setSharedElementExitTransition(transition);

As per the same bug ViewAnimationUtils has, you'll see errors in Android Studio, it'll compile and run fine though.
