Fragment with swipe-refresh Layout not transitioning

Question

I have a fragment with a swipe-refresh layout containing a Recycler view and I added custom transitions and associated it with the fragment through frag.setEnterTransition() before the I started the fragment's transaction. But however it doesn't transition at all. It just abruptly appears, just as it would without transitions.

To narrow-down where I could have gone wrong, I redid it with a LinearLayout instead of swipeRefreshLayout and the fragment transitions as expected.

This is my xml for the fragment.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<android.support.v4.widget.SwipeRefreshLayout
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:id="@+id/swipe_refresh_layout_inapp_list"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content">

    <FrameLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent">

        <android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView
            xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
            android:id="@+id/rv_inapp_messages_list"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            android:clipToPadding="false"
            android:padding="@dimen/transactions_space_small"/>

        <include layout="@layout/widget_empty_screen"/>
    </FrameLayout>

</android.support.v4.widget.SwipeRefreshLayout>

This is how the fragment gets transacted.

if (android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP) {
    fragment.setEnterTransition(bottomGravitySlide);
    fragment.setExitTransition(fadeOut);
    fragment.setAllowEnterTransitionOverlap(false);
    fragment.setAllowReturnTransitionOverlap(false);
}
fragmentTransaction.replace(R.id.vg_full_container, fragment, TAG_INTRODUCTION).commitAllowingStateLoss();

And I'm using API23, so the API check shouldn't be the problem.

Where am I going wrong? What should I do if I want to have swipeRefreshLayout and still be able to transition?

What you mean by "just abruptly appears". Are you trying to programmatically show the pull animation which then starts the refresh animation? (just like the user himself did pull-to-refresh?) — Sufian, Aug 04 '16 at 10:27
I mean that the fragment appears without transitioning into the screen as per the transition I defined, as in without any transitions. ( my custom transition makes the layout slide from bottom which isn't happening ). And no I am not programatically trying to show the pull animation. Only shows when the user refreshes. — not_again_stackoverflow, Aug 04 '16 at 10:30
Update your question with the code where you're opening the fragment. — Sufian, Aug 04 '16 at 10:46

I guess it is some bug. If you can create a sample app with both scenarios (one with `LinearLayout` where the animation works, and the other with `SwipeRefreshLayout` where it doesn't), it would help Google to fix it. Create [an issue here](https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/list) and post a link (to the created issue) as a comment under this question. — Sufian, Aug 05 '16 at 10:54

I wanted to programmatically move a floating action button to the top center by a transition within a SwipeRefreshLayout and encountered the same problem.

Encapsulating the SwipeRefreshLayout by a FrameLayout solved my issue.

Before:

<android.support.v4.widget.SwipeRefreshLayout
   android:id="@+id/swipe_container"
   android:layout_width="match_parent"
   android:layout_height="match_parent">
   <RelativeLayout
       android:layout_width="match_parent"
       android:layout_height="match_parent">
       <!-- some other views -->
       <android.support.design.widget.FloatingActionButton
           android:id="@+id/floating_action_button"
          android:layout_width="wrap_content"
          android:layout_height="wrap_content"
          android:layout_gravity="end|bottom"
          android:src="@drawable/add"
          android:tint="@android:color/white"
          android:layout_margin="@dimen/pad16dp" />
      </RelativeLayout>
</android.support.v4.widget.SwipeRefreshLayout>

After:

<FrameLayout
    android:id="@+id/transitions_container"
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent">
    <android.support.v4.widget.SwipeRefreshLayout
       android:id="@+id/swipe_container"
       android:layout_width="match_parent"
       android:layout_height="match_parent">
        <RelativeLayout
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="match_parent">
            <!-- some other views -->
        </RelativeLayout>
    </android.support.v4.widget.SwipeRefreshLayout>
    <android.support.design.widget.FloatingActionButton
        android:id="@+id/floating_action_button"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_gravity="end|bottom"
        android:src="@drawable/add"
        android:tint="@android:color/white"
        android:layout_margin="@dimen/pad16dp" />
</FrameLayout>
