Change activity transition when inside a TabHost

Question

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

Unfortunately when I am on a TabActivity

Answer 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.

Answer 2

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.
