Android Activity Transition Animation

What I am trying to achieve is : start a new activity with a transition animation for the exiting activity only.

I would like to slide up the current activity, where the new activity will be behind the current one.

Here is the slide up animation : R.layout.slide_up

<set xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">

    <translate
        android:duration="1000"
        android:fromYDelta="0%"
        android:toYDelta="100%" />

</set>

Here is how I am applying the activity animation transition :

overridePendingTransition ( 0 , R.anim.slide_up );

I am using 0 for the entering activity since I do not want any animation for the new activity, and it is not working (the animation is not performed). If I use an animation for entering activity too, it works (both animations are performed), like such :

overridePendingTransition ( R.anim.slide_out , R.anim.slide_up );

where R.anim.slide_out :

<set xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">

    <translate
        android:duration="1000"
        android:fromYDelta="100%"
        android:toYDelta="0%" />

</set>

Any ideas ?

I am working on Android 4.1.2 and Android 4.0.4

Call the below method after startActivity method.

 overridePendingTransition(0,0);

This will override the default animation and do no animation. You can also give some custom animation if you like

overridePendingTransition(R.anim.animation1,R.anim.animation2);

Wherever you are calling the intent to start the Activity, you need to modify the intent. ActivityOptions options = ActivityOptions.makeSceneTransitionAnimation(AlbumListActivity.this); startActivity(intent, options.toBundle());

If you have any dedicated method to setupTransitions() You can put the next two lines of code there, Else you may put them in onCreate()

getWindow().setEnterTransition(new Slide(Gravity.RIGHT).setDuration(800));

Gravity.RIGHT is what determines the direction from which you want to start your next Activity. setDuration() method is optional, for smoother Transition I used it, You don't have to.

Explore more by playing around with different Gravity and setDuration Properties.

Alter your exit animation so that it renders over top of the entering activity.

R.anim.slide_up

<set xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:zAdjustment="top">

    <translate
        android:duration="1000"
        android:fromYDelta="0%"
        android:toYDelta="100%" />

</set>

Then you can do what you were originally doing to set the animation.

overridePendingTransition ( 0 , R.anim.slide_up );

I have exactly the same transition and such animation works for me:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<translate xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:interpolator="@android:anim/accelerate_interpolator"
android:fromYDelta="0%" android:toYDelta="100%" android:zAdjustment="top"
android:duration="300" />
