Android Jetpack Navigation System Transition

Question

In the Android Jetpack navigation component at for instance at here. I was wondering if it were possible to use default system animations (for instance the animation when starting a new activity) when screens change. This would be in the context of the enterAnim and the exitAnim parameters.

When you're using the editor you can define the animation for the enter and exit transitions:

And if you don't have any animations defined in the anim xml folder there are some default animations available. If none of those is good enough for you, you can simply create a transition that mimics the default ones and set it there.

To get the default animations you need to have the dependence:

implementation "android.arch.navigation:navigation-ui-ktx:1.0.0-alpha01"
