overridePendingTransition for sliding activities in and out smoothly

There's an error not only in the enter_from_right animation, that should have a fromXDelta of 100% instead of -100%, but even in the enter_from_left animation, that should fave a fromXDelta of -100% instead of 100%.

Cheers,

Instead of overriding the animation in both startActivity() and the new activities onCreate(), you only need to override the animation just after the startActivity() call.

The two ints you provide for overridePendingTransition(int enterAnim, int exitAnim) correspond to the two animations - removing the old Activity and adding the new one.

For your second question, I believe you have the fromXDelta set wrong, -100% should be all the way off the left-hand side of the screen, not the right, so changing this to 100% should fix it.

look at my gist, it works perfectly:

1.Override CommonActivity's startActivity and finish

 @Override
    public void startActivity(Intent intent) {
        super.startActivity(intent);
        overridePendingTransition(R.anim.from_right_in, R.anim.from_left_out);
    }

    @Override
    public void finish() {
        super.finish();
        overridePendingTransition(R.anim.from_left_in, R.anim.from_right_out);
    }

2.from_left_in.xml

    <set xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <translate android:fromXDelta="-100%p"
               android:toXDelta="0"
               android:duration="300"/>
    <alpha android:fromAlpha="0.0" android:toAlpha="1.0" android:duration="300" />
   </set>

3.from_right_in.xml

   <set xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <translate android:fromXDelta="100%p"
               android:toXDelta="0"              android:interpolator="@android:interpolator/accelerate_decelerate"
               android:duration="300"/>
    <alpha android:fromAlpha="0.0" android:toAlpha="1.0" android:duration="300" />
</set>

4.from_left_out.xml

   <set xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <translate android:fromXDelta="0"
               android:toXDelta="-100%p"
               android:duration="300"/>
    <alpha android:fromAlpha="1.0" android:toAlpha="0.0" android:duration="300" />
</set>

5.from_right_out.xml

<set xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <translate android:fromXDelta="0"
               android:toXDelta="100%p"
               android:duration="300"/>
    <alpha android:fromAlpha="1.0" android:toAlpha="0.0" android:duration="300" />
</set>
