The transition for the Activity below has shared elements in the overlay. Turn it off so that the animation runs in the

MainActivity.java 
public class MainActivity extends Activity {

    // Some code omitted for brevity!

    public void setupTransitions() {
        Slide slide = new Slide(Gravity.BOTTOM);
        slide.excludeTarget(android.R.id.statusBarBackground, true);
        getWindow().setEnterTransition(slide);
        getWindow().setSharedElementsUseOverLay(false);
    }
}

Hi there! I received your request for assistance and you're doing terrific! You got bitten by the typo bug, and it happens to us all. You wrote:

.setSharedElementsUseOverLay

But that should be:

.setSharedElementsUseOverlay

Note the capitalization of the "L" in the second version vs the first. It should be lower case.

Hope this helps! :sparkles:
