Slide right to left Android Animations

Android

Android Problem Overview

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.

Solution 1 - Android

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) ...
 
  }
 }
 
     
}

Solution 2 - Android

You can do Your own Animation style as an xml file like this(put it in anim folder):

left to right:

  <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="500"/>
  </set>

right to left:

    <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="500" />
   </set>

here You can set Your own values at duration, maybe it depends on the phone model how the animation will look like, try some values out if it looks not good.

and then You can call it in Your activity:

     Intent animActivity = new Intent(this,YourStartAfterAnimActivity.class);
      startActivity(nextActivity);

      overridePendingTransition(R.anim.your_left_to_right, R.anim.your_right_to_left);

Solution 3 - Android

For sliding both activity (old and new) same direction:

> left_in.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<translate xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:duration="300"
    android:fromXDelta="-100%"
    android:toXDelta="0%"
    android:interpolator="@android:anim/decelerate_interpolator"
     />

> right_in.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<translate xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:duration="300"
    android:fromXDelta="100%"
    android:toXDelta="0%"
    android:interpolator="@android:anim/decelerate_interpolator"
     />

> left_out.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<translate xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:duration="300"
    android:fromXDelta="0%"
    android:interpolator="@android:anim/decelerate_interpolator"
    android:toXDelta="-100%" />

> right_out.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<translate xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:duration="300"
    android:fromXDelta="0%"
    android:interpolator="@android:anim/decelerate_interpolator"
    android:toXDelta="100%" />

> startActivity transition:

overridePendingTransition(R.anim.right_in, R.anim.left_out);

> onBackPressed transition:

overridePendingTransition(R.anim.left_in, R.anim.right_out);

Solution 4 - Android

Example GIF

The easiest way I found is using Activity Transitions, it is really easy

Override onCreate method in activity you want to run with animation:

@Override
  protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP) {
      Slide slide = new Slide();
      slide.setSlideEdge(Gravity.RIGHT);

      getWindow().setEnterTransition(slide);
    }
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
  }

Then start it using transitions (instead activity.startActivity(context)):

activity.startActivity(starter, ActivityOptions.makeSceneTransitionAnimation(activity).toBundle());

For closing activity with animation instead using this.finish() use below code:

if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP) {
      getActivity().finishAfterTransition();
    } else getActivity().finish();

For more information check below links:

Solution 5 - Android

See this link.. you can see so many kinds of animations here, just copy the xml to your res/anim folder and use it like the following..

listView.setAnimation(AnimationUtils.loadAnimation(MainActivity.this,R.anim.slide_in_right));

Animation Lists

Solution 6 - Android

You can make your own animations. For example create xml file in res/anim like this

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <set xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
     android:interpolator="@android:anim/linear_interpolator">
    <translate
            android:fromXDelta="100%p"
            android:toXDelta="0"
            android:startOffset="0"
            android:duration="500"
            /> </set>

Then override animations in selected activity:

   overridePendingTransition(R.anim.animationIN, R.anim.animationOUT);

Solution 7 - Android

Right to left new page animation

<set xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
 android:shareInterpolator="false">
 <translate
    android:fromXDelta="0%" android:toXDelta="800%"
    android:fromYDelta="0%" android:toYDelta="0%"
    android:duration="600" />

Solution 8 - Android

<translate
    android:fromXDelta="100%p"
    android:toXDelta="0%p"
    android:duration="500" />

Solution 9 - Android

First Activity

val intent = Intent(this, SecondActivity::class.java)
startActivity(intent, ActivityOptions.makeSceneTransitionAnimation(this).toBundle())

Second Activity

override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
    with(window) {
        requestFeature(Window.FEATURE_ACTIVITY_TRANSITIONS)
        exitTransition = Slide(Gravity.START)
        enterTransition = Slide(Gravity.END)
    }

    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)

    binding.toolbar.setNavigationOnClickListener {
        finishAfterTransition()
    }
}
