How can I add an animation to the activity finish()
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 :)
This question has already answered but the most efficient way to put an animation while exiting from an activity is by overriding the "finish()" method of the related activity:
@Overridepublic void finish() { super.finish(); overridePendingTransition(R.anim.hold, R.anim.slide_out_bottom);}
I would suggest to use isFinishing() method to configure the animations at onPause instead of calling finish()
@Overrideprotected void onPause() { super.onPause(); if (isFinishing()){ overridePendingTransition(R.anim.activity_slide_in, R.anim.activity_slide_out); }}
