React-native-navigation: Using the default Android 9 animation for stack/modal push

[drewhamlett]

Issue Description

I think in Android 9 they introduced a new animation that I see all apps using on my phone. The slide up animation doesn't seem to be the default anymore. I don't think it's necessary to try to recreate this with the animation properties since it's a default thing. Much like the default iOS transition.

Steps to Reproduce / Code Snippets / Screenshots

If you create a new react-navigation stack with the native stack it uses the correct one by default. It's a little off because the status bar doesn't behave correctly.

Thanks for any help!

Hey @drewhamlett 👋
These are Activity and Fragment animations. The reason your app doesn't leverage these animations is simply because RNN uses neither Activities or Fragments.

To use these animations, we'll first need to implement enter and exit animations for both appearing and disappearing screens. Right now, when pushing a screen you can only animate the entering (pushed screen) or the exiting (popped) screen.

I plan to get to this by next quarter 🙏

Hey @remstos This is still planned and prioritised unfortunately this keeps getting delayed by more important tasks.
