I'll try to help you with the following example:

res/anim/trans_left_in.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_longAnimTime"/>
</set>

res/anim/trans_left_out.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_longAnimTime"/>
</set>

res/anim/trans_right_in.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_longAnimTime"/>
</set>

res/anim/trans_right_out.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_longAnimTime"/>
</set>

src/Activity2

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_traces);
        overridePendingTransition(R.anim.trans_left_in, R.anim.trans_left_out);
...}

@Override
public void onBackPressed() {
    super.onBackPressed();
    overridePendingTransition(R.anim.trans_right_in, R.anim.trans_right_out);
}

The easiest! Attention: call `super.onBackPressed();` before the overridePendingAnimation otherwise it won't work — WuerfelDev, Aug 14 '16 at 19:49

one thing manish i need to start other activity also with the same time ..like click on A activity i need to show B,C sequentially.what should i do – Monty May 20 '13 at 12:13
You can't do without any intent on B Activity. One thing you can that just startActivity (C activity) in onCreate() of Activity B. – Manish Dubey May 20 '13 at 12:16
its directly displaying act C. – Monty May 20 '13 at 12:33
Then use startActivity(C Activity) in onStart of B activity and before starting use Thread.sleep or something else who will wait for execute to next line. – Manish Dubey May 20 '13 at 12:38

I can't help anymore without source code that you written. So, Ask a different question for different problem. Show there what have you tried and what are you expecting ? – Manish Dubey May 20 '13 at 12:48
You should try to give Self-sustained answers and not just links, because if they break your answer will be useless. – El Mac Oct 15 '16 at 11:18

A Better approach is to create a style as follows:

<style name="mytheme" parent="@android:style/Theme.Black">
    <item name="android:windowAnimationStyle">@style/theme</item>
</style>

<style name="theme">
    <item name="android:windowEnterAnimation">@anim/fade_in</item>
    <item name="android:windowExitAnimation">@anim/fade_out</item>
</style>

Then apply this style to your activity in manifest file using the android:theme tag.

This was helpful from a learning point of view. But practically, I needed to reverse the animation when going backwards, which this didn't do. – chris838 Jun 28 '17 at 17:32

Here it is,

Intent intent=new Intent(Activity1.this,Activity2.class);
startActivityForResult(intent,0);
getActivity().overridePendingTransition( R.anim.righttoleft, R.anim.stable );

And here is the animation righttoleft.xml,

<set xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shareInterpolator="false" >

    <translate
          android:duration="500"
          android:fromXDelta="-100%"
          android:fromYDelta="0%"
          android:toXDelta="0%"
          android:toYDelta="0%" />
</set>

and stable.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<set xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
  <alpha android:fromAlpha="1.0" android:toAlpha="1.0" 
      android:interpolator="@android:anim/accelerate_interpolator" 
      android:duration="500"
      android:repeatCount="0"/>
</set>

call overridePendingTransition before starting the SecondActivity. It takes as parameters two int enterAnim, exitAnim.

enterAnim is a resource ID of the animation resource to use for the incoming activity. Use 0 for no animation
exitAnim is a resource ID of the animation resource to use for the outgoing activity. Use 0 for no animation.

start activity with left to right mode
