Views are transitioning individually/separately when using Activity Transitions

I'm trying to create a slide up effect for one of my Android Applications' Activity, similar to the Gmail app's compose Activity enter animation/transition, without the previous Activities' exit animation though. As per my research, there are two ways to achieve this:
overridePendingTransition(R.anim.slide_in_bottom, R.anim.stay) after startActivity() in Activity A and overridePendingTransition(R.anim.stay, R.anim.slide_out_bottom) after finish() in Activity B. Problem with this approach: I need to set listeners for the enter animation/transition in Activity B in order to perform further animations and I do not want to use some kind of guessed delay in onCreate(). Other than that, this approach works flawlessly.
Using the "new" (not really anymore) Activity Transitions API to perform a android.transition.Slide for both the enter and exit transitions of Activity B with the slide edge set to bottom. Problem with this approach: This weird seperation / individual transitioning of views is introduced when using this approach. (Not pasting any code here as it's not necessary, I'm using the Slide from a transitionSet in xml or the default constructor in code)
So my question is, is there a way to have an actual listener for approach 1 I don't know of or is there a way to eliminate that weird separation with approach 2 and if yes, how?

Put the views that should be animated together in a "Transition Group".

You can create a listener for approach #1 using Otto. Basically, that is an event bus that provides a mechanism that you can use to communicate with different parts of your application.

Tansitioning between activities

Before I started working with transitions in Android, I was under the impression that transitions was possible from one activity to another. In other words, when you launch an activity from another activity, you could provide a transition with animation.
After just learning about transitions, this does not appear possible. The documentation indicates that transitions occur within the same activity. In other words, transitions just let you rearrange the view for the current activity.
So is it correct that transitions are limited to just a specific activity, or is it possible to transition to another activity? I can imagine the benefits of transitioning to a different activity, the most important being that when multiple developers are working on a project, each can work on their own activities without having to combine functionality into a single activity in order to create animated transitions.

I think this is what you're looking for

Android Card flip Animation

Im trying to have a card flip animation between activities. I looked at the example given by google but i only got more confused on how it works. I want to be able to click a button and have the card flip animation between two activites. Is there any examples on how to do this using a button and two activities?

As per my knowledge,3D transitions are not supported by window manager.
Behind this there is a reason, that to achieve FLIP animation both views must be loaded to show mirror effect. While activities are stand alone processes in Android.
So If you want such animations better you use fragments rather activities.
But If you still want it with activities. Here is the alternative Click

You may again go through the developer site. They have used fragments. With the use of fragments it is easily achievable. You need a one activity and other fragments to achieve the desire functionality.

Start an activity using a 3d flip animation

I'm trying to start an activity and create the transition as a 3d flip (as many have stated exactly like on the IPhone), unfortunately I haven't found a satisfying answer yet and I am stuck.
I've implemented http://www.inter-fuser.com/2009/08/android-animations-3d-flip.html
for the whole layout so that now when pressing a certain button the layouts are flipped, but since it refers to layout that are in activities which weren't loaded, they don't fill all their items and data (an expandable list view for example).
But when i call startActivity() after the flip the activity is created which of course hides the framelayout container on the caller activity - so i can't flip back... (I've used the overridePendingTransition but imho it shouldn't matter).
I could really use your help am losing my mind...
Thanks!

Sorry you can't do this -- the window manager currently only supports 2d animations.

I also want to flip activity as 3D animation. I just found this solution http://blog.robert-heim.de/karriere/android-startactivity-rotate-3d-animation-activityswitcher/
What they does.. startActivity with no animation any apply 3D rotation on it.

Animation in Android

I want to override the default animations (actually transitions) in Android, when an Activity comes on screen or goes off as the user presses the Home or Back button. I've tried the ViewFlipper, but that works only on single Activity with multiple views. I'm developing for Android 1.6. Any hint, how to do this?

So perhaps you should take a look at: Android transitions Slide in and Slide Out
It sounds very much like what you want.
