Android - Fragment Transition

Activity and Fragment transitions in Lollipop are built on top of a relatively new feature in Android called Transitions. Introduced in KitKat, the transition framework provides a convenient API for animating between different UI states in an application. The framework is built around two key concepts: scenes and transitions. A scene defines a given state of an application's UI, whereas a transition defines the animated change between two scenes.
When a scene changes, a Transition has two main responsibilities −
Capture the state of each view in both the start and end scenes.
Create an Animator based on the differences that will animate the views from one scene to the other.
This example will explain you how to create your custom animation with fragment transition . So let's follow the following steps to similar to what we followed while creating Hello World Example −
following will be the content of res.layout/activity_main.xml it contained TextView
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<TextView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

Let's try to run our Fragment Transitions application we just created. I assume you had created your AVD while doing environment set-up. To run the app from Android Studio, open one of your project's activity files and click Run  icon from the toolbar. Android installs the app on your AVD and starts it and if everything is fine with your setup and application, it will display following Emulator window:
If click on new fragment, it going to be changed the first fragment to second fragment as shown below
