How to provide animation when calling another activity in Android

Question

I have two Activities A and B  I want to have the shrink Animation when  Activity A calls B and maximize animation when Activity B calls A  I don t need the animation xml files for this   When we call another Activity in Android it gives its default animation and then it calls shrink animation    What I want is that the default animation should not occur and the animation that I want should occur   Can we actually give the animation when calling another Activity

You must use OverridePendingTransition method to achieve it, which is in the Activity class. Sample Animations in the apidemos example's res/anim folder. Check it. More than check the demo in ApiDemos/App/Activity/animation.

Example:

@Override
public void onResume(){
    // TODO LC: preliminary support for views transitions
    this.overridePendingTransition(R.anim.in_from_right, R.anim.out_to_left);
}

Since API 16 you can supply an activity options bundle when calling Context startActivity Intent  Bundle  or related methods  It is created via the ActivityOptions builder   Intent myIntent   new Intent context  MyActivity class   ActivityOptions options       ActivityOptions makeCustomAnimation context  R anim fade in  R anim fade out   context startActivity myIntent  options toBundle       Don t forget to check out the other methods of the ActivityOptions builder and the ActivityOptionsCompat if you are using the Support Library       API 5    For apps targeting API level 5  there is the Activities overridePendingTransition method  It takes two resource IDs for the incoming and outgoing animations  An id of 0 will disable the animations  Call this immediately after the startActivity call   i e    startActivity new Intent this  MyActivity class    overridePendingTransition R anim fade in  R anim fade out       API 3    You can prevent the default animation  Slide in from the right  with the Intent FLAG ACTIVITY NO ANIMATION flag in your intent   i e    Intent myIntent   new Intent context  MyActivity class   myIntent addFlags Intent FLAG ACTIVITY NO ANIMATION   context startActivity myIntent     then in your Activity you simply have to specify your own animation   This also works for the 1 5 API  Level 3

Jelly Bean adds support for this with the ActivityOptions makeCustomAnimation   method  Of course  since it s only on Jelly Bean  it s pretty much worthless for practical purposes
