Android Left to Right slide animation
AndroidAnimationAndroid Problem Overview
I have three activities whose launch modes are single instance.
Using onfling(), I swing them left and right.
The problem is when I swipe right to left the slide transition is okay but when I swipe left to right, I get the transition of swiping right to left.
I know why this is happening its because I am always sending new intents. But, now I need to change the animation of sliding left to right.
I know there is a method named overridingTransitionPending(), but I do not know how to define my animation in XML.

Solution 1 - Android
Use this xml in res/anim/
This is for left to right animation:
<set xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shareInterpolator="false">
<translate android:fromXDelta="-100%" android:toXDelta="0%"
android:fromYDelta="0%" android:toYDelta="0%"
android:duration="700"/>
</set>
This is for right to left animation:
<set xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shareInterpolator="false">
<translate
android:fromXDelta="0%" android:toXDelta="100%"
android:fromYDelta="0%" android:toYDelta="0%"
android:duration="700" />
</set>
In your coding use intent like for left to right:
this.overridePendingTransition(R.anim.animation_enter,
R.anim.animation_leave);
In your coding use intent like for right to left
this.overridePendingTransition(R.anim.animation_leave,
R.anim.animation_enter);
Solution 2 - Android
If you want the transition work for whole application you can create a rootacivity and inherit it in the activity you need. In Root Activity's onCreate call overridePendingTransition with desired direction. And onStart call overridePendingTransition with other direction if activity is resumed. Here I am giving full running code below.Correct me if I am wrong.
create this xml file on your anim folder
anim_slide_in_left.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<set xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >

Solution 3 - Android
> If you want to apply the animation on "activity" start. then write below code.
startActivity(intent);
overridePendingTransition(R.anim.opening_anim, R.anim.closing_anim);
> If you want to apply the animation on "dialog" then firstly add below code in styles.xml file
<style name="my_style”>
<item
name="@android:windowEnterAnimation">@anim/opening_anim</item>
<item

Use this style as I defined below.
final Dialog dialog = new Dialog(activity);
dialog.getWindow().getAttributes().windowAnimations = R.style.my_style;
> If you want to apply the animation on "view" then write below code
txtMessage = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.txtMessage);
// load the animation
Animation animFadein = AnimationUtils.loadAnimation(getApplicationContext(),R.anim.animation);
// start the animation
txtMessage.startAnimation(animFadein);
> Below, I have mentioned most of the animation .xml code.

Solution 4 - Android
Made a sample code implementing the same with slide effects from left, right, top and bottom. (For those who dont want to make all those anim xml files :) )
Checkout out the code on github
Solution 5 - Android
You can overwrite your default activity animation. Here is the solution that I use:
Create a "CustomActivityAnimation" and add this to your base Theme by "windowAnimationStyle".
<!-- Base application theme. -->
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
<!-- Customize your theme here. -->
<item name="colorPrimary">@color/colorPrimary</item>
<item name="colorPrimaryDark">@color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
<item name="colorAccent">@color/colorPrimary</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>
Create anim folder under res folder and then create this four animation files:
slide_in_right.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<set xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<translate android:fromXDelta="100%p" android:toXDelta="0"
android:duration="@android:integer/config_mediumAnimTime"/>
</set>
slide_out_left.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<set xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<translate android:fromXDelta="0" android:toXDelta="-100%p"
android:duration="@android:integer/config_mediumAnimTime"/>
</set>
slide_in_left.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<set xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<translate android:fromXDelta="-100%p" android:toXDelta="0"
android:duration="@android:integer/config_mediumAnimTime"/>
</set>
slide_out_right.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<set xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<translate android:fromXDelta="0" android:toXDelta="100%p"
android:duration="@android:integer/config_mediumAnimTime"/>
</set>
This is my sample project in github.
That's all... Happy coding :)
Solution 6 - Android
Also, you can do this:
FirstClass.this.overridePendingTransition(android.R.anim.slide_in_left, android.R.anim.slide_out_right);
And you don't need to add any animation xml
Solution 7 - Android
I was not able to find any solution for this type of animation using ViewPropertyAnimator.
Here's an example:
Layout:
<FrameLayout
android:id="@+id/child_view_container"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<EditText
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="@+id/child_view"
android:gravity="center_horizontal"
android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
/>
</FrameLayout>
Animate - Right to left and exit view:
final childView = findViewById(R.id.child_view);
View containerView = findViewById(R.id.child_view_container);
childView.animate()
.translationXBy(-containerView.getWidth())
.setDuration(TRANSLATION_DURATION)
.setInterpolator(new AccelerateDecelerateInterpolator())
.setListener(new AnimatorListenerAdapter() {
@Override
public void onAnimationEnd(Animator animation) {
childView.setVisibility(View.GONE);
}
});
Animate - Right to left enter view:
final View childView = findViewById(R.id.child_view);
View containerView = findViewById(R.id.child_view_container);
childView.setTranslationX(containerView.getWidth());
childView.animate()
.translationXBy(-containerView.getWidth())
.setDuration(TRANSLATION_DURATION)
.setInterpolator(new AccelerateDecelerateInterpolator())
.setListener(new AnimatorListenerAdapter() {
@Override
public void onAnimationStart(Animator animation) {
childView.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
}
});
Solution 8 - Android
If your API level is 19+ you can use translation as above.
If your API level is less than 19, you can take a look at similar tutorial: http://trickyandroid.com/fragments-translate-animation/
Solution 9 - Android
For from right to left slide
res/anim/in.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<set xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shareInterpolator="false">
<translate
android:fromXDelta="100%" android:toXDelta="0%"
android:fromYDelta="0%" android:toYDelta="0%"
android:duration="700" />
</set>
res/anim/out.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<set xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shareInterpolator="false">
<translate
android:fromXDelta="0%" android:toXDelta="-100%"
android:fromYDelta="0%" android:toYDelta="0%"
android:duration="700" />
</set>
in Activity Java file:
Intent intent = new Intent(HomeActivity.this, ActivityCapture.class);
startActivity(intent);
overridePendingTransition(R.anim.in,R.anim.out);
you can change the duration times in the xml files for the longer or shorter slide animation.
