animated transition between an activity and another

Question

I state that i'm not very experienced in android, and I would like to understand, perhaps with some tutorial, how to implement any scrolling animation between one activity and another. I hope in your help

You can set up animations (like slide) when you switch between activities like this :

In the res folder, create an anim folder

For example, put two xml files for a slide effect :

slide_in.xml

<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="200"/>
</set>

slide_out.xml

<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="200" />
</set>

Then on your java code just write this :

Intent i = new Intent(YourActivity.this, OtherActivity.class);
this.startActivity(i);
overridePendingTransition(R.anim.slide_in, R.anim.slide_out);

If you are testing that on a real device, don't forget to allow it to play animations (Settings -> Display -> Animations -> All Animations)

Hope it helps ! :)

thanks for the advice, I'm testing, but I have a small problem, the transition from one activity to another is after pressing a button and I have do "finish();" on the activity starting – user1480020 Aug 23 '12 at 14:04
Which activity do you want to finish ? The first one ? – Alexis C. Aug 23 '12 at 14:05
I edited my answer. Is it working like you want now ? – Alexis C. Aug 23 '12 at 14:13
Now the activity is not even started – user1480020 Aug 23 '12 at 14:22
the first activity don't start – user1480020 Aug 23 '12 at 14:24
Please put the code of the button event. – Alexis C. Aug 23 '12 at 14:25
But If you call finish() on your first activity, it destroys it. – Alexis C. Aug 23 '12 at 14:25
In fact, I have to destroy the first activated and move to the second – user1480020 Aug 23 '12 at 14:27
If you call finish() on your first activity, you won't be able to start it a second time. Finish : `Call this when your activity is done and should be closed`. See this http://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/Activity.html and this http://developer.android.com/images/activity_lifecycle.png to understand how activities works. – Alexis C.

I added the above code but by second activity is not displaying. :( – Si8 Jul 25 '13 at 15:22
@SiKni8 Any error in logcat ? – Alexis C. Jul 26 '13 at 12:23
Do we have to have a Material Theme in our styles.xml? Or at least be using API 21 or higher? – Azurespot May 16 '16 at 01:32
