How we can add a custom sliding transition between activities globally or specifically in Android Studio

Custom sliding transition between activities globally or specifically in Android Studio

Add a custom sliding transition between activities globally or specifically in Android Studio.

Step 1: Create a anim resources file inside res > anim

slide_in_left.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<set xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <translate
        android:duration="@android:integer/config_mediumAnimTime"
        android:fromXDelta="-100%p"
        android:toXDelta="0" />
</set>

slide_in_right.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<set xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <translate
        android:duration="@android:integer/config_mediumAnimTime"
        android:fromXDelta="100%p"
        android:toXDelta="0" />
</set>

slide_out_left.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<set xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <translate
        android:duration="@android:integer/config_mediumAnimTime"
        android:fromXDelta="0"
        android:toXDelta="-100%p" />
</set>

slide_out_right.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<set xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <translate
        android:duration="@android:integer/config_mediumAnimTime"
        android:fromXDelta="0"
        android:toXDelta="100%p" />
</set>

Step 2: Globally transition

styles.xml

<resources>

    <!-- Base application theme. -->
    <style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
        <!-- 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/CustomActivityAnimation</item>
    </style>

    <style name="CustomActivityAnimation" parent="@android:style/Animation.Activity">
        <item name="android:activityOpenEnterAnimation">@anim/slide_in_right</item>
        <item name="android:activityOpenExitAnimation">@anim/slide_out_left</item>
        <item name="android:activityCloseEnterAnimation">@anim/slide_in_left</item>
        <item name="android:activityCloseExitAnimation">@anim/slide_out_right</item>
    </style>

</resources>

Step 3: Specifically transition

Step 3 a: When we go to next activity

Intent intent = new Intent(this, Activity.class);
startActivity(intent);
overridePendingTransition(R.anim.slide_in_right, R.anim.slide_out_left);

Step 3 b: When we go to back activity

@Override
public void finish() {
    super.finish();
    overridePendingTransition(R.anim.slide_in_left, R.anim.slide_out_right);
}
