How to get started with a set of animations fully programmatically

Question

I am trying to revive the way a new Activity appears. The default for the slide. I have a set of animations that I would like to somehow add to Intent or Activity so that it starts when I call startActivity.

The trick is that I need to do this completely programmatically. I cannot declare any XML resources for animation, etc. How can I do it?

Answer 1

Here is a snippet of code

startActivity(intent); overridePendingTransition(R.anim.slide_in_right, R.anim.slide_out_left); 

slide_in_right

 <set xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"> <translate android:fromXDelta="50%p" android:toXDelta="0" android:duration="@android:integer/config_mediumAnimTime"/> <alpha android:fromAlpha="0.0" android:toAlpha="1.0" android:duration="@android:integer/config_mediumAnimTime" /> </set> 

slide_out_left

  <set xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"> <translate android:fromXDelta="0" android:toXDelta="-50%p" android:duration="@android:integer/config_mediumAnimTime"/> <alpha android:fromAlpha="1.0" android:toAlpha="0.0" android:duration="@android:integer/config_mediumAnimTime" /> </set> 

You can dial codes to get the effect of desire.

Activity has an overridePendingTransition() method that can be used to transfer new animations. So you just call it in the onCreate your Activity .
