[android] How to perform a fade animation on Activity transition?

I am codifiying a transition effect between my logo activity and my Main activity, but I have the problem that before vanish the activity move to top:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<set xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:shareInterpolator="false" >

    <alpha
        android:duration="2000"
        android:fromAlpha="0.0"
        android:toAlpha="1.0" >
    </alpha>

</set>

How could I improve this code to get only a vanish effect?

This question is related to android animation android-intent pending-transition

The answer is


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

<!-- Base application theme. -->
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
    <!-- Customize your theme here. -->
    <item name="colorPrimary">@color/colorPrimary</item>
    <item name="colorPrimaryDark">@color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
    <item name="colorAccent">@color/colorAccent</item>
    <item name="android:windowAnimationStyle">@style/AppTheme.WindowTransition</item>
</style>

<!-- Setting window animation -->
<style name="AppTheme.WindowTransition">
    <item name="android:windowEnterAnimation">@android:anim/fade_in</item>
    <item name="android:windowExitAnimation">@android:anim/fade_out</item>
</style>

Just re-posting answer by oleynikd because it's simple and neat

Bundle bundle = ActivityOptionsCompat.makeCustomAnimation(getContext(),
    android.R.anim.fade_in, android.R.anim.fade_out).toBundle(); 
startActivity(intent, bundle);
