If we closely think about Android design principles, then there are three main principles that one must focus around:

- Making their life easy
- Make the users amazed.
Fascinating the users:
Adjust the animation in a perfect manner with a well timed sound effect. This will make the animation joyful and gives them amazing experience. These effects make the life of android users very easy.
Users must be aware about where they are while using the application:
This means the user should actually know at what menu in the app he/she is. It can be possible by making it easy to use the apps just by adding transitions that show how screens are interrelated with one another.
Show significant things fast:
Every action is different. Hence, it’s necessary to decide what is more important in your app and hence make it easy to use and identify. It is similar to the shutter button of the camera.
Enchanting users in various ways helps you to on board users with various animations that make it easy for them to understand the application. Once the users easily understand your app then they don’t need to use uptime watching the animation every now and then.
With transitions, one can help new users to know their position in the application.

So, from now on if you really wish to make your app interesting then you can make use of animations and fascinate users and develop an app that is different from users.
