This is another solution I'm using:
public class CustomAnimator { private static final String TAG = "com.example.CustomAnimator"; private static Stack<AnimationEntry> animation_stack = new Stack<>(); public static final int DIRECTION_LEFT = 1; public static final int DIRECTION_RIGHT = -1; public static final int DIRECTION_UP = 2; public static final int DIRECTION_DOWN = -2; static class AnimationEntry { View in; View out; int direction; long duration; } public static boolean hasHistory() { return !animation_stack.empty(); } public static void reversePrevious() { if (!animation_stack.empty()) { AnimationEntry entry = animation_stack.pop(); slide(entry.out, entry.in, -entry.direction, entry.duration, false); } } public static void clearHistory() { animation_stack.clear(); } public static void slide(final View in, View out, final int direction, long duration) { slide(in, out, direction, duration, true); } private static void slide(final View in, final View out, final int direction, final long duration, final boolean save) { ViewGroup in_parent = (ViewGroup) in.getParent(); ViewGroup out_parent = (ViewGroup) out.getParent(); if (!in_parent.equals(out_parent)) { return; } int parent_width = in_parent.getWidth(); int parent_height = in_parent.getHeight(); ObjectAnimator slide_out; ObjectAnimator slide_in; switch (direction) { case DIRECTION_LEFT: default: slide_in = ObjectAnimator.ofFloat(in, "translationX", parent_width, 0); slide_out = ObjectAnimator.ofFloat(out, "translationX", 0, -out.getWidth()); break; case DIRECTION_RIGHT: slide_in = ObjectAnimator.ofFloat(in, "translationX", -out.getWidth(), 0); slide_out = ObjectAnimator.ofFloat(out, "translationX", 0, parent_width); break; case DIRECTION_UP: slide_in = ObjectAnimator.ofFloat(in, "translationY", parent_height, 0); slide_out = ObjectAnimator.ofFloat(out, "translationY", 0, -out.getHeight()); break; case DIRECTION_DOWN: slide_in = ObjectAnimator.ofFloat(in, "translationY", -out.getHeight(), 0); slide_out = ObjectAnimator.ofFloat(out, "translationY", 0, parent_height); break; } AnimatorSet animations = new AnimatorSet(); animations.setDuration(duration); animations.playTogether(slide_in, slide_out); animations.addListener(new Animator.AnimatorListener() { @Override public void onAnimationCancel(Animator arg0) { } @Override public void onAnimationEnd(Animator arg0) { out.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE); if (save) { AnimationEntry ae = new AnimationEntry(); ae.in = in; ae.out = out; ae.direction = direction; ae.duration = duration; animation_stack.push(ae); } } @Override public void onAnimationRepeat(Animator arg0) { } @Override public void onAnimationStart(Animator arg0) { in.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE); } }); animations.start(); } }
Using a class. Let's say you have two fragments (fragments of a list and details), as shown below.
<FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:id="@+id/ui_container" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" > <FrameLayout android:id="@+id/list_container" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" /> <FrameLayout android:id="@+id/details_container" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:visibility="gone" /> </FrameLayout>
Using
View details_container = findViewById(R.id.details_container); View list_container = findViewById(R.id.list_container); // You can select the direction left/right/up/down and the duration CustomAnimator.slide(list_container, details_container,CustomAnimator.DIRECTION_LEFT, 400);
You can use the CustomAnimator.reversePrevious(); function CustomAnimator.reversePrevious(); to get the previous view when the user clicked back.
