New Android 4.0 screen transitions between actions

Question

I have been developing an Android application for several months and am starting testing on Android 4.0. I just noticed that they changed the default transition between screens, it’s not that the slide is old from the new during the transition, but instead some kind of pop-up window appeared from the background, like on the iPhone.

Does anyone have more information about the transition, is it customizable? If so, where is it in the API, I could not find it.

Answer 1

Use this to control screen switching in android: overridePendingTransition

• You should call it immediately after startActivity(intent);
• Overrides onBackPressed(), startActivity()and finish()for any actions that you want to manage.
• Android > 2.1.
