custom activity transition animation in Android

Question

The current flow of my app is Activity A -> Activity B ->Fragment B I am trying to implement Activity transition animation. I have read many posts on SO mentioning about using overridependingtransition() and I have implemented almost everything mentioned in these posts. Somehow the animation is not working.

I need this to work on Android 2.2 i.e. sdkversion 8

This is the code:

Activity A 
oncreate method

Intent detailIntent = new Intent(this, WordDetailActivity.class);
            detailIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NO_ANIMATION);
            detailIntent.putExtra(DbAdapter.KEY_ROWID, id);
                startActivity(detailIntent);
                overridePendingTransition(android.R.anim.fade_in, android.R.anim.fade_out);


 @Override
    protected void onPause() {
        super.onPause();
        overridePendingTransition(android.R.anim.fade_in, android.R.anim.fade_out);
    }


Activity B

    @Override
    protected void onPause() {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        super.onPause();
        overridePendingTransition(R.anim.fade_in, R.anim.fade_out);
    }

It would be great if someone could also suggest me any alternative way to implement activity transitions upto android 2.2

Answer 1

Phones that have their animation disabled in the phone settings wont show the activity transition animations... so don't count on it.

Also, you can't change these users settings.
