[android] Fragment transaction animation: slide in and slide out

This is another solution which I use:

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();
    }
}

The usage of class. Let's say you have two fragments (list and details fragments)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>

Usage

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 function CustomAnimator.reversePrevious();to get the previous view when the user pressed back.
