Change activity transition when inside a TabHost

问题:

I have successfully changed the transitions between activities using overridePendingTransition().

Unfortunately when I am on a TabActivity and use activities inside each tab. When one of those activities inside the content of the tab, starts another activity, the overridePendingTransition() seems to not work.

I basically have a TabActivity, inside it resides an activity with a ListView. What I'm doing is when the item is clicked, I launch the item details' activity.

This new activity's transition animation is not being overridden with the overridePendingTransition()

I basically do this:

private Activity owner;
public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id) {
    Intent programActivity = new Intent().setClass(view.getContext(), ProgramActivity.class);
    Program program = (Program) parent.getItemAtPosition(position);
    programActivity.putExtra("programID", program.getId());
    owner.startActivity(programActivity);
    owner.overridePendingTransition(R.anim.fade_in, R.anim.fade_out);
}

So, I believe that the pending transition is overridden after I'm trying to override them.

Is there a different place I should do that? Am I doing some other stupid mistake?

Thanks !

回答1:

I had a similar problem with calling overridePendingTransition() from within a Fragment, because Fragments do not have overridePendingTransition() method defined.

I solved it using:

getActivity().overridePendingTransition(R.anim.enterAnim, R.anim.exitAnim);

Hope it helps. The Fragment was within a TabHost.

I found out that the problem was because my view was a sub-activity inside a tab.

To correctly override the transitions I've overridden the onPause method on the TabActivity and it now works as expected.

Note: You still have to use the overridePendingTransition() on the listener for your items if your activity is NOT within a tab.
