Transition names of views
Android 5.0 adds new method setTransitionName() for View class. With this library you should call TransitionManager.setTransitionName(View v, String transitionName) method instead to provide backward compatibility.
Transitions via XML
If you use XML files to create your transitions you need to put them in the res/anim folder instead of the res/transition folder. You need to use application attributes namespase instead of android:. For example:
<transitionSet xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
app:duration="400">
<changeBounds/>
<fade app:fadingMode="fade_in">
<targets>
<target app:targetId="@id/transition_title"/>
</targets>
</fade>
</transitionSet>About library 
Transition animations backported to Android 4.0+.
For Android ver. >= 2.2 and < 4.0 scene to scene (layout to layout) changes is executed by the same API but without animations.
