Description

https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/layoutanimation.html

This page says the following:

Note that in order to get this to work on Android you need to set the following flags via UIManager:
UIManager.setLayoutAnimationEnabledExperimental && UIManager.setLayoutAnimationEnabledExperimental(true);

What is unclear is if this needs to be done once globally, or on a per component basis. This should be made clearer.

Research direction

Open the linked LayoutAnimation documentation page and locate the note about enabling Android support through UIManager. Clarify whether setLayoutAnimationEnabledExperimental(true) is configured once globally or per component, then verify that the updated wording directly answers that question.
