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" > <translate android:duration="600" android:fromXDelta="100%" android:toXDelta="0%" > </translate> </set> anim_slide_in_right.xml <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <set xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" > <translate android:duration="600" android:fromXDelta="-100%" android:toXDelta="0%" > </translate> </set> anim_slide_out_left.xml <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <set xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" > <translate android:duration="600" android:fromXDelta="0%" android:toXDelta="-100%" > </translate> </set> anim_slide_out_right.xml <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <set xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" > <translate android:duration="600" android:fromXDelta="0%" android:toXDelta="100%" > </translate> </set> RootActivity import android.app.Activity; import android.os.Bundle; public class RootActivity extends Activity { int onStartCount = 0; @Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); onStartCount = 1; if (savedInstanceState == null) // 1st time { this.overridePendingTransition(R.anim.anim_slide_in_left, R.anim.anim_slide_out_left); } else // already created so reverse animation { onStartCount = 2; } } @Override protected void onStart() { // TODO Auto-generated method stub super.onStart(); if (onStartCount > 1) { this.overridePendingTransition(R.anim.anim_slide_in_right, R.anim.anim_slide_out_right); } else if (onStartCount == 1) { onStartCount++; } } }
