How to transition the activity from top to bottom and viceversa?

Question

Can anybody tell how to transition the activity from top to bottom in Android, perhaps with an example?

Answer 1

Define an animation in res/anim/slide_in_up.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<translate xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:fromYDelta="100%p" android:toYDelta="0%p"
    android:duration="@android:integer/config_longAnimTime"/>

and another at res/anim/slide_out_up.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<translate xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:fromYDelta="0%p" android:toYDelta="-100%p"
    android:duration="@android:integer/config_longAnimTime"/>

Then apply these after to call startActivity:

Intent i2 = new Intent(main.this, test.class);
startActivity(i2);
overridePendingTransition( R.anim.slide_in_up, R.anim.slide_out_up );
