Moving to MotionLayout
summary
MotionLayout becomes a declarative, seekable layer on top of ConstraintLayout using a MotionScene XML file to define start/end constraint sets, onSwipe triggers and custom attributes (e.g. animating color via setColorFilter). The demo builds an Android with clouds app, adds keyframes, showPaths and crossfadeed images, and connects MotionLayout with CoordinatorLayout to drive animations by scroll. Transitions stay interactive (seekable transitions), work on API 14+, and generally perform as shown despite minor live-coding hiccups.
