Activity slide animation only works when back button is pressed

Question

Im trying to add a sliding animation when entering and exiting an activity but it only works when the phones back button is pressed. When pressing the up button in the toolbar or a separate button it doesn't work.

I tried adding the overridePendingTransition(R.anim.no_anim, R.anim.slide_out_right); line to the onPause() method as well as the finish() method and the buttons OnClick method but it doesn't work :/

no_anim.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<set xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <translate
        android:duration="0"
        android:fromXDelta="0"
        android:toXDelta="0" />
</set>

slide_out_right.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<set xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <translate
        android:duration="@android:integer/config_longAnimTime"
        android:fromXDelta="0"
        android:toXDelta="100%p" />
</set>

Java:

public void button(View view) {
    Intent intent = new Intent(this, MainActivity.class);
    startActivity(intent);
    overridePendingTransition(R.anim.no_anim, R.anim.slide_out_right);
}

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

@Override
protected void onPause() {
    super.onPause();
    overridePendingTransition(R.anim.no_anim, R.anim.slide_out_right);
}

Use `toolbar.setNavigationOnClickListener();` as suggested in my answer! — Gourav, Jan 01 '19 at 15:53

You can call onBackPressed() when pressing the up button in the toolbar

This is not regarded as a good approach! `onBackPressed()` should be called when we want to handle default back button clicks in android! If android wished to do so, why they would have added the facility to provide back click facility on toolbar with its `toolbar.setNavigationOnClickListener()`? – Gourav Jan 01 '19 at 15:55

Set toolbar Navigation click listener:

toolbar.setNavigationOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
    @Override
    public void onClick(View v) {
        finish(); //close activity
        overridePendingTransition(R.anim.your_anim, R.anim.your_anim);
    }
});

This will surely work!
