I know that are some example over the internet and also here on Stackoverflow I found many examples but belive it or not, none of them supply me needs. Even I have asked a similar question few time ago and I have stuck again into this problem. Basically is the same question but in the opposite direction. I can do whatever animation I want with Activity B but the problem here is Activity A which I could animate just in few scenarios. Basically ActivityA play enter_left only in this combination:
overridePendingTransition(R.anim.enter_from_right, R.anim.exit_on_left);
What I want to do is to animate(move) just the Activity A either on startActivity() and onBackPressed() while Activity B stay unmoved on the screen. Activity A swould allways be drawn on top(as a sliding menu, I could do this with Activity B).
I really thought that the above snippet will do the work:
Intent intent = new Intent(ActivityA.this, ActivityB.class);
startActivityForResult(intent, 500);
overridePendingTransition(R.anim.stay_still, R.anim.exit_on_left);
but this does not even play any animation, while
//this is the animation for onBackPressed()
#Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
overridePendingTransition(R.anim.enter_from_left, 0);
}
animates Activity A as I want but Activity B suddenly disappears from screen and I want to stay (setting (R.anim.enter_from_left, R.anim.stay_still) does nothing).
I have prepared all 5 necessary animations:
enter_from_left
<set xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shareInterpolator="false" >
<translate
android:duration="500"
android:fromXDelta="-100%"
android:toXDelta="0%" />
</set>
exit_on_left
<set xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shareInterpolator="false" >
<translate
android:duration="500"
android:fromXDelta="0%"
android:toXDelta="-100%" />
</set>
enter_from_right
<set xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shareInterpolator="false" >
<translate
android:duration="500"
android:fromXDelta="100%"
android:toXDelta="0%" />
</set>
exit_on_right
<set xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shareInterpolator="false" >
<translate
android:duration="500"
android:fromXDelta="0%"
android:toXDelta="100%" />
</set>
stay_still
<set xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shareInterpolator="false" >
<translate
android:duration="500"
android:fromXDelta="0%"
android:toXDelta="0%" />
</set>
I have tried a lot of combinations but non of them worked. Could you please tell me if is this animation possible and if can it be done in this way?
I will post an image, to be more clear what I want to do:
So, first step: on startActivity(), ActivityA should leave the screen from the left side and while moving, the Activity B shoull allready "be there", "below it".
Then, onBackPressed() Acyivity B should "come back", entering from the left side of the screen and overlapping the ActivityB that stay unmoved.
Not sure if you tried this combination, but should work.-
startActivityForResult(intent, 500);
overridePendingTransition(R.anim.enter_from_left, R.anim.stay_still);
I could find that the next one works very nice with fragments fragmentTransaction.setCustomAnimations(R.anim.stay_still,R.anim.exit_on_left);
while overridePendingTransition(R.anim.stay_still, R.anim.exit_on_left); does not work with activity.
On the other hand the reverse,
overridePendingTransition(R.anim.enter_from_left, 0); or
fragmentTransaction.setCustomAnimations(R.anim.enter_from_left, 0);
does not work with activity neither with fragments. The most close approach that works was
transaction.setCustomAnimations(R.anim.stay_still,R.anim.exit_on_left, R.anim.enter_from_left,R.anim.exit_on_right);
If anyone has any other solution, I'm still waiting to hear it and it will be appreciated.
5 years later but there exists a solution for this.
These two functions needs be implemented in the activity which will override the default transition.
#Override
public void startActivity(Intent intent) {
super.startActivity(intent);
overridePendingTransition(R.anim.from_right_in, R.anim.from_left_out);
}
#Override
public void startActivityForResult(Intent intent, int requestCode) {
super.startActivityForResult(intent, requestCode);
overridePendingTransition(R.anim.from_right_in, R.anim.from_left_out);
}
from_right_in.xml
<set xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<translate android:fromXDelta="100%p" android:toXDelta="0" android:interpolator="#android:interpolator/accelerate_decelerate" android:duration="300"/>
<alpha android:fromAlpha="0.0" android:toAlpha="1.0" android:duration="300" />
</set>
from_left_out.xml
<set xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<translate android:fromXDelta="0" android:toXDelta="-100%p" android:duration="300"/>
<alpha android:fromAlpha="1.0" android:toAlpha="0.0" android:duration="300" />
</set>
Try this
Add animations for activity transition in/out, in intent call like
startActivity(new Intent(this,toActivity));
overridePendingTransition( R.anim.slide_in, R.anim.slide_out);
Here is animations file, add this in anim folder
slide_in.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<translate xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:fromYDelta="100%p" android:toYDelta="0%p"
android:duration="300"/>
slide_out.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<translate xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:duration="#android:integer/config_longAnimTime"
android:fromYDelta="0%p"
android:toYDelta="100%p" />
Thanks
I don't know if i really understand what you want, but if you want to create a sliding Menu, you could use this tutorial to implement it, it works just fine - It's an alternative to resolve your problem -:
http://developer.android.com/training/implementing-navigation/nav-drawer.html
But your have to use FragmentActivity instead of Activity. If you want an example, just ask for it and i will post it. Good luck.

In my application I want to animate my activity from right to left. Till now I am try this :
startActivity(intent);
finish();
overridePendingTransition(R.anim.slide_in_right,R.anim.slide_out_left);
and this working fine but my previous activity got finished. What I want to do the same animation without finishing previous activity.
while trying like this :
startActivity(intent);
overridePendingTransition(R.anim.slide_in_right,R.anim.slide_out_left);
only newly started activity go into animation and previous activity does get any effect. How can I animate both activity without finishing the previous one?
You should use Handler in this case!
Put time on Handler on First Activity. During this time animate your first activity. After this step handler give the control to your second activity and then you start animation on second activity
I think that your animations might be the problem. I have the same effect using the following animation files:
slide_in_right.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<set xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shareInterpolator="false">
<translate
android:duration="#android:integer/config_mediumAnimTime"
android:fromXDelta="100%"
android:fromYDelta="0%"
android:toXDelta="0%"
android:toYDelta="0%" />
</set>
slide_out_left.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<set xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shareInterpolator="false">
<translate
android:duration="#android:integer/config_mediumAnimTime"
android:fromXDelta="0%"
android:fromYDelta="0%"
android:toXDelta="-100%"
android:toYDelta="0%" />
</set>
I have many activities with each having a group of textViews. what i want to
1) when activity loaded all the textViews should slide in.
2) when second activity loads the textViews of first activity slides out.
However, I already figured out the transition/animation, and also achieved the solution for first by calling the animation in onWindowFocusChanged(boolean hasFocus).
but I am unable to find the correct method through which I have to called slide out part.
this is my slide_in
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<set xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shareInterpolator="false">
<translate android:fromXDelta="-100%" android:toXDelta="0%"
android:fromYDelta="0%" android:toYDelta="0%"
android:duration="500"/>
</set>
this is my slide_out
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<set xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shareInterpolator="false">
<translate android:fromXDelta="0%" android:toXDelta="-100%"
android:fromYDelta="0%" android:toYDelta="0%"
android:duration="500"/>
</set>
Here I call slide in and slide out but slide out is not working.
#Override
public void onWindowFocusChanged(boolean hasFocus) {
if(hasFocus){
animShow();
}
else
{
animHide();
}
}
this is my animHide method
private void animHide()
{
etname.startAnimation(animHide[0]);
etmail.startAnimation(animHide[1]);
etmobile.startAnimation(animHide[2]);
etaddress.startAnimation(animHide[3]);
etlanguage.startAnimation(animHide[4]);
}
When starting the second Activity from you first one, call overridePendingTransition immediately after you call startActivity.
I suggest watching Custom Activity Animations from Google's DevBytes series.
An expert from Google, Chet Haase, explains in details how to deal Activity transition animations. Below the video you will also find link to the source code of the presented example.
If you are interested in more Android animations, checkout the rest of DevBytes series episodes.
I have an activity and another activity.
I want my first activity to end when I slide up the screen. The animation should be like the activity is sliding up too. Like the notification screen.
Is that possible? I have done many Google searches before posting this question, but could not get anything.
P.S - I don't want this to be seen as a casual question since there is no code shown. I just need some point to start and I am completely baffled.
make an anim folder in res->
Make an xml file in anim folder slide_up_info.xml
<set xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
<translate
android:duration="500"
android:fromYDelta="100%p"
android:toYDelta="0" />
</set>
slide_down_info.xml
<set xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
<translate
android:duration="500"
android:fromYDelta="0%p"
android:interpolator="#android:anim/accelerate_interpolator"
android:toYDelta="100%p" />
</set>
no_change.xml
<set xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<translate android:fromYDelta="0%p" android:toYDelta="0" android:duration="500"/>
</set>
Now when you want to activity up then write below code
Intent intent_info = new Intent(MainActivity.this,ToActivity.class);
startActivity(intent_info);
overridePendingTransition(R.anim.slide_up_info,R.anim.no_change);
For down Activity animation
Intent intent_home=new Intent(getApplicationContext(), MainActivity.class);
startActivity(intent_home);
overridePendingTransition(R.anim.no_change,R.anim.slide_down_info);
Animations can be introduced to Activity Launch using OverridePendingTransition. Take a look at this example where they have showed a sample code. Animation between activities
To end an activity, you can call finish() on the first activity.
The know about the slideup, you can check onFling from GestureDetector or onTouch from OnTouchListener
You can also do it this way : in your animation, override the onAnimationEnd method, and use startActivity in it to launch your new activity after the end of the animation
I am using Apis 's deme for slide-in and slide-out between two activity. But when I jump from one activity to another a black screen is appearing.
Slide-Left-
<set xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:interpolator="#android:anim/accelerate_interpolator" >
<translate
android:duration="300"
android:fromXDelta="100%p"
android:toXDelta="0" />
</set>
Slide-Right-
<set xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:interpolator="#android:anim/accelerate_interpolator" >
<translate
android:duration="300"
android:fromXDelta="-100%p"
android:toXDelta="0" />
</set>
To Jump from one activity to another:-
Button button1 = (Button) findViewById(R.id.Button01);
button1.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View view) {
startActivity(new Intent(getApplicationContext(), SecondView.class));
overridePendingTransition(R.anim.slide_left, R.anim.slide_right);
});
Why is this black screen is appearing between two activity.
Your first xml should be like:
<set xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:interpolator="#android:anim/accelerate_interpolator" >
<translate
android:duration="300"
android:fromXDelta="0"
android:toXDelta="100%p" />
</set>
fromXDelta is the horizontal translation applied at the beginning of the animation. Setting it to "100%p" makes the first activity shift just right out of the screen at the inception of the animation, hence the blank screen.
The call to the function overridePendingTransition(int, int) should be like this:
overridePendingTransition(R.anim.slide_right, R.anim.slide_left);
The first argument determines the transition animation used by the second activity. Also the two animations can be more properly named as slide_out_to_right and slide_in_from_left, since in fact they all slide to the right.
I want to add animation so that my imageview slide towards the left,leave the screen and enter from the right ,sliding back to its original position. I tried doing something like this ..
<translate
android:duration="1000"
android:fromXDelta="0"
android:toXDelta="-100%p" />
<translate
android:startOffset="1000"
android:duration="1000"
android:fromXDelta="100%p"
android:toXDelta="0" />
But the animation is not as per my wish.. Can anyone help me out
Edit: Okay so what you are trying to do is a pain in the a** (ye another one of those android things that should have been simple)! Having two animations after each other just doesn't pan out too well on earlier versions of android. On never versions you can use animationset from api lvl 11. Example here. Alternatively I'd go with a simpler animation.
Here is how to do slide in/out for activity (old answer):
Slide in left activity:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<translate xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:fromXDelta="100%p" android:toXDelta="0"
android:duration="#android:integer/config_shortAnimTime"/>
Slide in right activity:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<translate xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:fromXDelta="-100%p" android:toXDelta="0"
android:duration="#android:integer/config_shortAnimTime"/>
Slide out left activity:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<translate xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:fromXDelta="0" android:toXDelta="-100%p"
android:duration="#android:integer/config_shortAnimTime" />
Slide out right activity:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<translate xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:fromXDelta="0" android:toXDelta="100%p"
android:duration="#android:integer/config_shortAnimTime" />
Example usage:
Intent intent = new Intent(this, YourNewActivity.class);
startActivity(intent);
overridePendingTransition(R.anim.slide_in_left, R.anim.slide_out_left);
Example usage on back:
#Override
public boolean onKeyDown(int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {
if (keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_BACK) {
super.onBackPressed();
overridePendingTransition(R.anim.slide_in_right, R.anim.slide_out_right);
}
return super.onKeyDown(keyCode, event);
}
As Warpzit said, its a bug and is a known issue... as in here
I wasted my time thinking it was a mistake from my side.An alternative specified by the developer is--
"You can achieve it by using two Animations. Start the first one and
when it ends (using an animation listener to be notified), start the
second one. It's not as nice and easy but it should work."
and another thing i learned is that android honeycomb has more animation features than the old versions..Inorder to use these features in pre-honeycomb versions we may use nineoldandroids
