Animation while switching Activity in Android?

Question

I want an animation while switching from one activity to another in Android. The animation I'm aiming for is a bottom to top like animation.

How can I do that?

Answer 1

Yes it is possible. check out this question. You have to define animations in anim folder than you can overide current animation using

overridePendingTransition( R.anim.slide_in_up, R.anim.slide_out_up );

Answer 2

You can set your animation when you go to another activity using this

overridePendingTransition(android.R.anim.fade_in, android.R.anim.fade_out);

Also you can get same animation if you come back from last activity to previous activity by overriding method

@Override
    public void onBackPressed() {
        super.onBackPressed();
        overridePendingTransition(android.R.anim.fade_in, android.R.anim.fade_out);

    }
