The Navigation component lets you add both property and view animations to actions. To create your own animations, check out[Animation resources](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/resources/animation-resource).

Navigation also includes several default animations to get you started. To add animations to an action, do the following:

1. In the Navigation editor, click on the action where the animation should occur.
2. In the**Animations** section of the**Attributes** panel, click the dropdown arrow next to the animation you'd like to add. You can choose between the following types:
   - Entering a destination
   - Exiting a destination
   - Entering a destination via a[*pop action*](https://developer.android.com/guide/navigation/navigation-navigate#pop), an action that pops additional destinations off of the back stack when navigating.
   - Exiting a destination via a pop action
3. Choose an animation from the list of project animations that appears.

![the animations section of the attributes panel](https://developer.android.com/static/images/guide/navigation/animation-attributes.png)**Figure 1.** The**Animations** section of the**Attributes**panel.

Once you've added animations, click the**Text** tab to toggle to the XML text view. The XML for the animations now appears in the corresponding`<action>`element. In the following example,`specifyAmountFragment`is the source destination for the`confirmationAction`action:  

```xml
<fragment
    android:id="@+id/specifyAmountFragment"
    android:name="com.example.buybuddy.buybuddy.SpecifyAmountFragment"
    android:label="fragment_specify_amount"
    tools:layout="@layout/fragment_specify_amount">
    <action
        android:id="@+id/confirmationAction"
        app:destination="@id/confirmationFragment"
        app:enterAnim="@anim/slide_in_right"
        app:exitAnim="@anim/slide_out_left"
        app:popEnterAnim="@anim/slide_in_left"
        app:popExitAnim="@anim/slide_out_right" />
</fragment>
```

## Add shared element transitions between destinations

When a view is shared between two destinations, you can use a*shared element transition*to define how the view transitions when navigating from one destination to the other. Shared element transitions are part of the Transition Framework.
| **Note:** When using shared elements transitions, you should**not** use the Animation Framework (`enterAnim`,`exitAnim`, and so on from the previous section). Instead, you should be using only the Transition Framework for setting your enter and exit transitions.

Shared elements are supplied programmatically rather than through your navigation XML file. Activity and fragment destinations each have a subclass of the[`Navigator.Extras`](https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/navigation/Navigator.Extras)interface that accepts additional options for navigation, including shared elements. You can pass these`Extras`when calling[`navigate()`](https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/navigation/NavController#navigate(int,%20android.os.Bundle,%20androidx.navigation.NavOptions,%20androidx.navigation.Navigator.Extras)).
| **Note:** Be sure to familiarize yourself with shared element transitions before continuing. For fragment shared element transitions, see[Navigate between fragments using animations](https://developer.android.com/training/basics/fragments/animate). For activity shared element transitions, see[Start an activity using an animation](https://developer.android.com/training/transitions/start-activity#start-with-element).

### Shared element transitions to a fragment destination

The[`FragmentNavigator.Extras`](https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/navigation/fragment/FragmentNavigator.Extras)class allows you to map shared elements from one destination to the next by their transition name, similar to using[`FragmentTransaction.addSharedElement()`](https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/fragment/app/FragmentTransaction#addSharedElement(android.view.View,%20java.lang.String)). You can then pass the extras to`navigate()`, as shown in the following example:  

### Kotlin

```kotlin
val extras = FragmentNavigatorExtras(view1 to "hero_image")

view.findNavController().navigate(
    R.id.confirmationAction,
    null, // Bundle of args
    null, // NavOptions
    extras)
```

### Java

```java
FragmentNavigator.Extras extras = new FragmentNavigator.Extras.Builder()
    .addSharedElement(view1, "hero_image")
    .build();

Navigation.findNavController(view).navigate(
    R.id.details,
    null, // Bundle of args
    null, // NavOptions
    extras);
```

### Shared element transitions to an activity destination

Activities rely on[ActivityOptionsCompat](https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/core/app/ActivityOptionsCompat)to control Shared Element Transitions as detailed in the[Start an activity with a shared element](https://developer.android.com/training/transitions/start-activity#start-transition)documentation and as shown in the example below:  

### Kotlin

```kotlin
// Rename the Pair class from the Android framework to avoid a name clash
import android.util.Pair as UtilPair
...
val options = ActivityOptionsCompat.makeSceneTransitionAnimation(activity,
        UtilPair.create(view1, "hero_image"))
val extras = ActivityNavigatorExtras(options)
view.findNavController().navigate(
    R.id.details,
    null, // Bundle of args
    null, // NavOptions
    extras)
```

### Java

```java
ActivityOptions options = ActivityOptions.makeSceneTransitionAnimation(this,
        Pair.create(view1, "hero_image"));

ActivityNavigatorExtras extras = new ActivityNavigatorExtras.Builder()
    .setActivityOptions(options)
    .build();


Navigation.findNavController(view).navigate(
    R.id.details,
    null, // Bundle of args
    null, // NavOptions
    extras);
```

## Apply pop animations to activity transitions

When you navigate to or from an`Activity`, pop animations are not applied automatically. Instead, you must call[`ActivityNavigator.applyPopAnimationsToPendingTransition()`](https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/navigation/ActivityNavigator#applyPopAnimationsToPendingTransition(android.app.Activity))from the target`Activity`destination where the animation should occur:  

### Kotlin

```kotlin
override fun finish() {
    super.finish()
    ActivityNavigator.applyPopAnimationsToPendingTransition(this)
}
```

### Java

```java
@Override
public void finish() {
    super.finish();
    ActivityNavigator.applyPopAnimationsToPendingTransition(this);
}
```
