Custom Animation while switching Activity, using overridePendingTransition()

Anonymous

05:23

Call overridePendingTransition(int enterAnim, int exitAnim) immediately after startActivity(Intent) or finish() to specify an explicit transition animation to perform next.

Create animation XMLs in /res/anim/ folder.
