Animate custom Dialog programmatically

Question

I would like to set some animations to my custom dialog and I would like to do it programmatically. I know I can do it like this with xml animations:

<style name="DialogAnimation">
    <item name="android:windowEnterAnimation">@anim/slide_up_dialog</item>
    <item name="android:windowExitAnimation">@anim/slide_out_down</item>
</style>


Dialog imageDiaglog= new Dialog(MainActivity.this,R.style.DialogAnimation);

But I would like to do it programmatically. How can I set my programmatically created animations to Dialog's show() and hide() methods?

Thank you.

Answer 1

You cant because the dialog uses the style element for the animation transition. And You cannot set the style elements programmatically.
