title: Activity enter and exit Animation or Transition?
body: <p>The title might appeal to a general question but my issue is more specific.</p>
  
  <p>As luck would have it, I am working on a project that supports only lollipop and next.
  There are bunch of API related to Material Design that I never used before and today I am facing one of them: <strong>the new transition system with shared elements</strong>.</p>
  
  <p>But my problem is way simpler. I <code>need to start an activity that must appear from the bottom, but not completely (50%p) with a fading animation along</code>.</p>
  
  <p>Coming from a pre-Lollipop experience, I intended to use the <code>overridePendingTransition</code> method with the following XML in <code>res/anim</code> :</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?&gt;
  &lt;set xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
      android:fillAfter="true"&gt;
      &lt;alpha android:fromAlpha="0" android:toAlpha="1"
          android:interpolator="@android:anim/accelerate_interpolator"
          android:duration="1500"/&gt;
      &lt;translate
          android:duration="1500"
          android:fromYDelta="50%p"
          android:toYDelta="0%p"
          android:interpolator="@android:anim/accelerate_interpolator"/&gt;
  &lt;/set&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But the problem is that the whole screen is animating, which means the status bar and the navigation bar is also animated and <strong>I don't want that at all</strong>.</p>
  
  <p>So I started looking for solutions.</p>
  
  <p>Way before KitKat came out with the first <code>Scene</code> and <code>Transition</code> APIs I faced a similar problem and I think I found the solution at the time, however for the life of me I can't today: <strong>most findings pointed me to the new transition system.</strong></p>
  
  <p>So now I have the following XML in <code>res/transition</code> :</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?&gt;
  &lt;transitionSet xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
      android:transitionOrdering="together"
      android:interpolator="@android:interpolator/accelerate_quad"&gt;
  
      &lt;slide android:slideEdge="bottom" android:duration="1000"/&gt;
      &lt;fade android:fadingMode="fade_in" android:duration="1000"/&gt;
  
  &lt;/transitionSet&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Following this <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/a/26748694/3535408">solution</a> I managed to prevent the status and navigation bar to animate. However, I can't seem to find a way to tweak the slide transition much like I could with <code>Animations</code>.</p>
  
  <p>So my question (finally) is : Is there a way to exclude the status and navigation bar using <code>overridePendingTransition</code> ? If yes, how ?? If no ... how can I tweak the slide animation ?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks !</p>
