The first example transition animation will be implemented through the use of the beginDelayedTransition() method of the TransitionManager class. The first step, however, is to assign an ID to the parent layout view element in the user interface layout created for us by Android Studio. If Android Studio does not automatically load the file, locate and double click on the TransitionDemo -> app -> src -> main -> res -> layout -> activity_transition_demo.xml file in the Project tool window panel to load it into the Designer tool. Once loaded, switch to Design mode and double click on the background of the view canvas that represents the parent RelativeLayout container and, in the resulting panel, name the layout view @+id/myLayout and press Enter to commit the change.
