Slide right to left Android Animations

android

Solution

Have a read through this blog post with an example of transition animations, I've included the code below:

Calling Activity

package com.as400samplecode;

import android.os.Bundle;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.View.OnClickListener;
import android.widget.Button;

public class MainActivity extends Activity implements OnClickListener{

 @Override
 protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
  super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
  setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

  Button nextActivity = (Button) findViewById(R.id.nextActivity);
  nextActivity.setOnClickListener(this);

 }

 public void onClick(View v) {

  switch (v.getId()) {
  case R.id.nextActivity:
   Intent nextActivity = new Intent(this,NextActivity.class);
   startActivity(nextActivity);
   //push from bottom to top
   overridePendingTransition(R.anim.push_up_in, R.anim.push_up_out);
   //slide from right to left
   //overridePendingTransition(R.anim.slide_in_right, R.anim.slide_out_left);
   break;

   // More buttons go here (if any) ...

  }
 }

 @Override
 public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
  // Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
  getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.activity_main, menu);
  return true;
 }

}

Layout Resource for the Calling Activity

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
 xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools" android:layout_width="match_parent"
 android:layout_height="match_parent" tools:context=".MainActivity"
 android:background="@color/ivory"> 
 <Button android:id="@+id/nextActivity" android:layout_width="match_parent"
  android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
  android:layout_alignParentTop="true" android:layout_marginTop="15dp"
  android:text="Go to Next Activity" /> 
</RelativeLayout>

Called Activity

package com.as400samplecode;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.View.OnClickListener;
import android.widget.Button;

public class NextActivity extends Activity implements OnClickListener{

 @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_next);

        Button previousActivity = (Button) findViewById(R.id.previousActivity);
        previousActivity.setOnClickListener(this);

    }

 public void onClick(View v) {

  switch (v.getId()) {
  case R.id.previousActivity:
   finish();
   //push from top to bottom
   overridePendingTransition(R.anim.push_down_in, R.anim.push_down_out);
   //slide from left to right
   //overridePendingTransition(R.anim.slide_in_left, R.anim.slide_out_right);
   break;

   // More buttons go here (if any) ...

  }
 }


}

Layout Resource for the Called Activity

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

  android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
  android:layout_alignParentTop="true" android:layout_marginTop="15dp"
  android:text="Go to Previous Activity" />

</RelativeLayout>

Problem

Hey I am working on an Android project that requires the slide animations on Android WebView. When the user swipes from left to right it moves to the new page, and when it does that from right to left it moves to previous page. But Android has only two transitions for that namely slide_out_right and slide_in_left. After using them the left to right sliding work is flawless, but the other one looks weird(opposite). Any Solutions for it. I want slide_out_left animations to be more precise.
