Some versions of Android support custom Activity transitions and some don t  older devices   If you want to use custom transitions it s good practice to check whether the Activity has the overridePendingTransition   method  as on older versions it does not   To know whether the method exists or not  reflection API can be used  Here is the simple code which will check and return the method if it exists   Method mOverridePendingTransition   try           mOverridePendingTransition   Activity class getMethod                   overridePendingTransition   new Class     Integer TYPE  Integer TYPE                 success          catch  NoSuchMethodException nsme               failure  this version of Android doesn t have this method             And then  we can apply our own transition  i e  use this method if it exists    if  UIConstants mOverridePendingTransition    null                   try                      UIConstants mOverridePendingTransition invoke MainActivity this  R anim activity fade in  R anim activity fade out                    catch  InvocationTargetException e                       e printStackTrace                     catch  IllegalAccessException e                       e printStackTrace                                     Here  as an example  simple fade-in and fade-out animations were used for transition demonstration

Here s the code to do a nice smooth fade between two Activities    Create a file called fadein xml in res anim   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  2000    gt    Create a file called fadeout xml in res anim   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 duration  2000    gt    If you want to fade from Activity A to Activity B  put the following in the onCreate   method for Activity B  Before setContentView   works for me   overridePendingTransition R anim fadein  R anim fadeout     If the fades are too slow for you  change android duration in the xml files above to something smaller

You cannot use overridePendingTransition in Android 1 5  overridePendingTransistion came to Android 2 0   If you re gonna go through this without any error you have to compile for the target  1 5 or higher  using the ordinary animations  or you own  or you have to compile for the target  2 0 or higher  using overridePendingTransistion   Summary  You cannot use overridePendingTransistion in Android 1 5   You can though use the built-in animations in the OS

An even easy way to do it is    Create an animation style into your styles xml file     lt style name  WindowAnimationTransition  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      Add this style to your app theme     lt style name  AppBaseTheme  parent  Theme Material Light DarkActionBar  gt         lt item name  android windowAnimationStyle  gt  style WindowAnimationTransition lt  item gt   lt  style gt     That s it
