Advanced animations with ConstraintLayout
summary
Demonstrates using Android Studio 3.0 and ConstraintLayout 1.1 beta to animate UIs by changing constraints at runtime, either via direct manipulation (beginDelayedTransition + layout param changes) or by swapping constraint sets cloned from XML; shows concrete builds: a RecyclerView parallax that moves images by animating a guideline and a collapsible header that replaces CollapsingToolbarLayout and works after adding object animators when TransitionManager fails. Announces new helpers: group, barrier and decorator (decorator draws across multiple views).
