How can I apply closing transition on activity which is not part of my app. Say, I am opening contacts app for picking contacts, I apply slide up transition when opening contacts app but closing app applies default animation (slide left).
Is there any possibility of animating it on closing too?
I assume when you start activity of another app (in this example it is Contacts app) you use overridePendingTransition() in your activity for the animation, something like this :
Intent intent= new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK, ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI);
startActivityForResult(intent, requestCode);
overridePendingTransition(R.anim.slide_in_right_to_left, android.R.anim.fade_out);
In onResume() method of your activity you can use overridePendingTransition() as well to animate activity (that is from Contacts app) from which you return:
@Override
protected void onResume() {
overridePendingTransition(0, android.R.anim.slide_out_right);
super.onResume();
}
