Answer 1

Nevermind, that was a dumb error - i didn't understand what the documentation meant by "entering animation" vs "exiting animation". i need to swap the xmls by changing:

FirstActivity.this.overridePendingTransition(R.anim.slide, R.anim.slide2);

into

FirstActivity.this.overridePendingTransition(R.anim.slide2, R.anim.slide);

Answer 2

just add these to your slide2.xml:

android:startOffset="2000"

this way the animation for the 2nd activity will only start right after your 1st activity's animation is complete.
