Android Left to Right slide animation
Use this xml in res/anim/
This is for left to right animation:
<set xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:shareInterpolator="false"> <translate android:fromXDelta="-100%" android:toXDelta="0%" android:fromYDelta="0%" android:toYDelta="0%" android:duration="700"/></set>This is for right to left animation:
<set xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:shareInterpolator="false"> <translate android:fromXDelta="0%" android:toXDelta="100%" android:fromYDelta="0%" android:toYDelta="0%" android:duration="700" /></set>In your coding use intent like for left to right:
this.overridePendingTransition(R.anim.animation_enter, R.anim.animation_leave);In your coding use intent like for right to left
this.overridePendingTransition(R.anim.animation_leave, R.anim.animation_enter);
If you want the transition work for whole application you can create a rootacivity and inherit it in the activity you need. In Root Activity's onCreate call overridePendingTransition with desired direction. And onStart call overridePendingTransition with other direction if activity is resumed. Here I am giving full running code below.Correct me if I am wrong.
create this xml file on your anim folder
anim_slide_in_left.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><set xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" > <translate android:duration="600" android:fromXDelta="100%" android:toXDelta="0%" > </translate></set>anim_slide_in_right.xml
