How can I add an animation to the activity finish()

Question

I'm using overridePendingTransition for when my activity is created and that works fine I can see the fade in works great, but when I try and animate the finish on the activity it is still doing the default right to left slide.

I first tried defining the out animation when I start the activity as follows:

Intent myIntent = new Intent(a, SkdyAlert.class);     myIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_SINGLE_TOP);     a.startActivity(myIntent);     if (android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT > android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES.DONUT) {         AnimationHelper.overridePendingTransition(a, R.anim.fadein, R.anim.fadeout);     } 

Then I tried doing it when I finish the activity as well

okBtn.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {         public void onClick(View v) {             finish();             if (android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT > android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES.DONUT) {                 AnimationHelper.overridePendingTransition(activity, 0, R.anim.fadeout);             }         }     }); 

But neither of these approaches will prevent the "right to left" slide for the exit animation. Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong?

Answer 1

I override pending transition just after calling finish();

In my case, I have done it to avoid transitions.

finish(); Details.this.overridePendingTransition(R.anim.nothing,R.anim.nothing); 

Order is important :)
