How can I animate the opening of a secondary android activity? as on playstore news

Question

Although I do know how to open another activity quite easily, using intent like the below:

Intent intent = new Intent(first.this, second.class);                                   intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_REORDER_TO_FRONT);
intent.putExtra("selectedApp", ApplicationTitle.getText());
startActivity(intent);

When you use the android application "PlayStore News", when you select a news item rather than just being redirected to another activity. An animation occurs, where in the change between several small cards to one large occurs.

How can I accomplish this?

You might want to check out https://developer.android.com/training/material/animations.html#Transitions

This explains how to define custom transitions between activities. In particular, you may be interested in shared element transitions. I'd be more specific, but its a fairly broad question

There is a method

 overridePendingTransition(R.anim.push_up_in, R.anim.push_up_out);
