title: Android custom transitions between activities
body: <p>I would like to know the best way to do custom transitions betweens activities on Android. 
  I don't want to do simple transition like this: <a href="http://ahdidou.com/blog/customize-android-activities-transition/#.UvJhvdx8uct" rel="nofollow">http://ahdidou.com/blog/customize-android-activities-transition/#.UvJhvdx8uct</a>
  I would like to use some of my views of my current activity, transition to the newer one and blend my views with my new activity. </p>
  
  <p>Example: Fade out the current activity while keeping desired views visible, fade in the new activity and move my views at some place on the new activity then make them disappear. </p>
  
  <p>Is there anything build in, or should I code something totally custom?</p>
  
  <p>Clarification: I'm coming from iOS, in iOS 7 Apple introduced an API to do custom transition, it provide an easy way to access the current displayed viewController, the upcoming viewController and also provide a containerView, which is a sandbox where you can add, and animate your views during your transition. 
  What I want to do on Android is close to that, I want to transition between 2 activities while showing an "in transition" view on the screen.</p>
