Android - Custom Animation on fragment transaction not running

Question

I'm using Google API 8 (Android 2.2) with support package v4. It doesn't give any error or animation. Transaction: ``` FragmentTransaction transaction = manager.beginTransaction(); transaction.replace(R.id.content, myFragment); transaction.setCustomAnimations(R.anim.slide_in_left, R.anim.slide_out_right); transaction.commit(); ``` Animations: slide_in_left.xml ``` ``` slide_out_right.xml ``` ``` Does anyone know what is happening here?

Accepted Answer

The manager was stacking my transaction before I set the animation, so it stacks the transaction without animations (sad but true), and that occurs even if I commit the transaction after the `setCustomAnimations()`.

The solution is to set the animations first:

```
FragmentTransaction transaction = manager.beginTransaction();       
transaction.setCustomAnimations(R.anim.slide_in_left, R.anim.slide_out_right);
transaction.replace(R.id.content, myFragment);
transaction.commit();
```
