When transitioning between activities, such as calling startActivity();
or when using the back
button, the screen slides in from the sides.
Is there any way to alter this? I have a flash-card like application, so when I move from activity A to activity B I would like the screen to flip over like turning a real flash card.
Is there any way to do this out of the box? Or does this require some custom animations?
As far as I know, the applications have no control over the transitions between their activities.
What you could do is merge the two activities using a custom ViewGroup that changes between the two Views using any animation you like. It's not trivial but should certainly be doable.
