overridePendingTransition not working

android, android-intent, transition

Solution

I know this is an old post, but I saw it and felt obligated to answer it:

It was a very obscure problem, and it was device related. I was using an iOcean X7 at the time. Later I found out that this Phone was not able to play animations. For some it did not play animations on ANY app.

Problem

I'm trying to implement a transition in my app but overridePendingTransition(anim, anim) is not working correctly. - I have window transitions enabled - After debugging the code I can say that the compiler does execute the call but it is NOT shown - I have tried calling finish() before overridePendingTransition() this does not seem to have any effect My code is simple and standard: Starting the intent and calling overridePendingTransition: ``` Intent newsIntent = new Intent(ZPFActivity.this, More2013Activity.class); startActivity(newsIntent); overridePendingTransition(R.anim.slide_no_move, R.anim.fade); finish(); ``` The start animation should not do anything only the fade animation should have effect. slide_no_move XML: ``` <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <translate xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:fromYDelta="0%p" android:toYDelta="0%p" android:duration="500"/> ``` fade XML: ``` <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <set xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:fillAfter="true"> <alpha android:fromAlpha="1.0" android:toAlpha="0.0" android:duration="500"/> </set> ``` EDIT: I forgot to mention the fact that the activities that I start all extend the 'main' activity. Could this be the fact that is causing the problem?
