I was trying to show transition on activity changes. I had followed two method from SO. I lost those link so I can't add them here.
My first method was I had used `overridePendingTransition` on onCreate method.
```java
overridePendingTransition(R.anim.fadein, R.anim.fadeout);
```
I had executed it in Android Device (API level : 21). Lollipop... Version 5.1
To me it was looking like the function doesn't work in under API level 23. I had searched in internet little bit but, didn't find. So, I was trying to do it another way.
I had added following lines to themes.xml
```java
<style name="WindowAnimationTransition">
<item name="android:windowEnterAnimation">@android:anim/fade_in</item>
<item name="android:windowExitAnimation">@android:anim/fade_out</item>
</style>
```
And, used following code in Theme.Myapplication
```xml
<item name="android:windowAnimationStyle">@style/WindowAnimationTransition</item>
<item name="android:windowActivityTransitions">true</item>
```
I had copy-pasted the lines from SO. As you can see there's something written `tools:targetApi="l"`. I think `l` is representing Lollipop not sure if it is correct. If It is correct than it should work my device.

What's the minimum API level for activity transition?

I was trying to show transition on activity changes. I had followed two method from SO. I lost those link so I can't add them here. 

My first method was I had used `overridePendingTransition` on onCreate method.

```java
overridePendingTransition(R.anim.fadein, R.anim.fadeout);
```

I had executed it in Android Device (API level : 21). Kitkat... Version 5.1

To me it was looking like the function doesn't work in under API level 23. I had searched in internet little bit but, didn't find. So, I was trying to do it another way. 

I had added following lines to themes.xml

```java
<style name="WindowAnimationTransition">
        <item name="android:windowEnterAnimation">@android:anim/fade_in</item>
        <item name="android:windowExitAnimation">@android:anim/fade_out</item>
</style>
```

And, used following code in Theme.Myapplication

```java
<item name="android:statusBarColor" tools:targetApi="l">?attr/colorPrimaryVariant</item>
<item name="android:windowAnimationStyle">@style/WindowAnimationTransition</item>
```

I had copy-pasted the lines from SO. As you can see there's something written `tools:targetApi="l"`. I think `l` is representing Lollipop not sure if it is correct. If It is correct than it won't work in my device. 

I was trying to execute the application in Virtual Android Device. When I was trying to start that Virtual device then my laptop started lagging that's why I didn't use Virtual Device.
