Android ICS Activity Transition from Fade In/Out Back to Slide

android, transition

Solution

overridePendingTransition() has to be called immediately after starting the new activity, so you would call it after startActivity(intent), for example. To make a default you can create a class that extends Activity and override startActivity, onBackPressed(), etc. to override the transition. For example:

public class MyActivity extends Activity {

@Override
public void onBackPressed() {
    super.onBackPressed();
    overridePendingTransition(R.anim.slide_in_transition,R.anim.slide_out_transition);
}

@Override
public void startActivity(Intent intent) {
    super.startActivity(intent);
    overridePendingTransition(R.anim.slide_in_transition,R.anim.slide_out_transition);
}

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



}

Then, just extend MyActivity instead of Activity in your activities and the transitions should all be sliding by default.

Problem

I have an app where I used default slide in/out effects on standards activities and fade in/out on a few specific activities. I've noticed that the new Android 4.X (ICS) has a different default, which is exactly fade in/out. How can i define on my standard activities my slide in/out effect? I've been trying to define it with: ``` @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { this.overridePendingTransition(0, android.R.anim.slide_in_left); super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); } @Override public void onPause() { super.onPause(); overridePendingTransition(android.R.anim.slide_out_right, 0); } ``` To reproduce the fade in / out effect i'm using: ``` @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { this.overridePendingTransition(0, android.R.anim.fade_in); super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); } @Override public void onPause() { super.onPause(); overridePendingTransition(android.R.anim.fade_in, 0); } ``` but haven't managed to successfully reproduce it. Also, I'm using this code on onCreate and onPause, is this correct? Or is there a better place to put it? Thanks PS: I've seen this New Android 4.0 Screen Transitions Between Activities but now answer has been provided.
