How to apply slide animation between two activities in Android?

You can overwrite your default activity animation and it perform better than overridePendingTransition. I use this solution that work for every android version. Just copy paste 4 files and add a 4 lines style as below:

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>

Then Create anim folder under res folder and then create this four animation files into anim folder:

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>

If you face any problem then you can download my sample project from github.

Thanks

protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.splashscreen);

         new Handler().postDelayed(new Runnable() {
             public void run() {

                     /* Create an intent that will start the main activity. */
                     Intent mainIntent = new Intent(SplashScreen.this,
                             ConnectedActivity.class);
                     mainIntent.putExtra("id", "1");

                     //SplashScreen.this.startActivity(mainIntent);
                     startActivity(mainIntent);
                     /* Finish splash activity so user cant go back to it. */
                     SplashScreen.this.finish();

                     /* Apply our splash exit (fade out) and main
                        entry (fade in) animation transitions. */
                     overridePendingTransition(R.anim.mainfadein,R.anim.splashfadeout);
             }
     }, SPLASH_DISPLAY_TIME);   
    }

Add this two file in res/anim folder.

R.anim.slide_out_bottom

<set xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shareInterpolator="false">
<translate
    android:duration="@integer/time_duration_max"
    android:fromXDelta="0%"
    android:fromYDelta="100%"
    android:toXDelta="0%"
    android:toYDelta="0%" />
</set>

R.anim.slide_in_bottom

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<set xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shareInterpolator="false">
<translate
    android:duration="@integer/time_duration_max"
    android:fromXDelta="0%"
    android:fromYDelta="0%"
    android:toXDelta="0%"
    android:toYDelta="100%" /> 
</set>

And write the below line of code in your view click listener.

startActivity(new Intent(MainActivity.this, NameOfTargetActivity.class));
overridePendingTransition(R.anim.slide_out_bottom, R.anim.slide_in_bottom);
