Make new activity appear behind old one during transition

Question

What I\'m trying to achieve is to override the start activity animation.

The animation should give the impression that the old activity is on top of the new activity

Answer 1

I've been trying to solve your solution in a sample project and I got it working with this code:

Call the animation with:

startActivity(new Intent(this, Activity2.class));
overridePendingTransition(R.anim.push_down_in,R.anim.push_down_out);

R.anim.push_down_in:

R.anim.push_down_out:
