you can also add animation in your activity  in onCreate method like below becasue overridePendingTransition is not working with some mobile  or it depends on device settings     View view   findViewById android R id content   Animation mLoadAnimation   AnimationUtils loadAnimation getApplicationContext    android R anim fade in   mLoadAnimation setDuration 2000   view startAnimation mLoadAnimation

you can also use this code in your style xml file so you don t need to write anything else in your activity java   lt  -- Base application theme  -- gt   lt style name  AppTheme  parent  Theme AppCompat Light NoActionBar  gt       lt  -- Customize your theme here  -- gt       lt item name  colorPrimary  gt  color colorPrimary lt  item gt       lt item name  colorPrimaryDark  gt  color colorPrimaryDark lt  item gt       lt item name  colorAccent  gt  color colorAccent lt  item gt       lt item name  android windowAnimationStyle  gt  style AppTheme WindowTransition lt  item gt   lt  style gt    lt  -- Setting window animation -- gt   lt style name  AppTheme WindowTransition  gt       lt item name  android windowEnterAnimation  gt  android anim fade in lt  item gt       lt item name  android windowExitAnimation  gt  android anim fade out lt  item gt   lt  style gt

You could create your own  xml animation files to fade in a new Activity and fade out the current Activity   fade in xml   lt  xml version  1 0  encoding  utf-8   gt   lt alpha xmlns android  http   schemas android com apk res android             android interpolator   android anim accelerate interpolator             android fromAlpha  0 0  android toAlpha  1 0             android duration  500    gt    fade out xml   lt  xml version  1 0  encoding  utf-8   gt   lt alpha xmlns android  http   schemas android com apk res android             android interpolator   android anim accelerate interpolator             android fromAlpha  1 0  android toAlpha  0 0             android fillAfter  true             android duration  500    gt    Use it in code like that   Inside your Activity   Intent i   new Intent this  NewlyStartedActivity class   startActivity i   overridePendingTransition R anim fade in  R anim fade out     The above code will fade out the currently active Activity and fade in the newly started Activity resulting in a smooth transition   UPDATE   Dan J pointed out that using the built in Android animations improves performance  which I indeed found to be the case after doing some testing  If you prefer working with the built in animations  use   overridePendingTransition android R anim fade in  android R anim fade out     Notice me referencing android R instead of R to access the resource id   UPDATE  It is now common practice to perform transitions using the Transition class introduced in API level 19
