You could use two .xml files to fade in a new Activity and fade out the current Activity.

fade_in.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<alpha xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
       android:interpolator="@android:anim/accelerate_interpolator"
       android:fromAlpha="0.0" android:toAlpha="1.0"
       android:duration="500" />

fade_out.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<alpha xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
       android:interpolator="@android:anim/accelerate_interpolator"
       android:fromAlpha="1.0" android:toAlpha="0.0"
       android:fillAfter="true"
       android:duration="500" />

Use it in code like that: (Inside your Activity)

Intent intent = new Intent();
        intent.setClass(sPlashScreen, MainActivity.class);
        startActivity(intent);
overridePendingTransition(R.anim.fade_in, R.anim.fade_out);

The above code will fade out the currently active Activity and fade in the newly started Activity.
