How to animate image in RecyclerView's item?
<p>GMail (supposedly using RecyclerView) in its Inbox displays items which contain images and text.  When a given item is selected/tapped it triggers animation of its image which 'transitions' to a checkbox.</p>

<p>I've seen examples of animations that apply to whole items (viewholders).  However, I have no idea how <code>GMail app</code> is able to animate images only.</p>

<p>Any help would be appreciated.</p>
