Left to Right Slide Animation in Android

This example demonstrates how do I create left to right side animation in android.

Step 1 − Create a new project in Android Studio, go to File ⇒ New Project and fill all required details to create a new project.

Step 2 − Add the following code to res/layout/activity_main.xml.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
   xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
   android:layout_width="match_parent"
   android:layout_height="match_parent"
   android:padding="8dp"
   android:id="@+id/relativeLayout"
   tools:context=".MainActivity">
   <Button
      android:id="@+id/btnSlideLeft"
      android:text="Slide Left"
      android:layout_width="wrap_content"
      android:layout_height="wrap_content"
      android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
      android:layout_marginTop="30dp"/>
   <Button
      android:id="@+id/btnSlideRight"
      android:text="Slide Right"
      android:layout_width="wrap_content"
      android:layout_height="wrap_content"
      android:layout_below="@id/btnSlideLeft"
      android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
      android:layout_marginTop="10dp"/>
   <TextView
      android:layout_centerInParent="true"
      android:text="Cristiano Ronaldo is the Best Player in the World"
      android:visibility="invisible"
      android:textSize="16sp"
      android:textStyle="bold"
      android:layout_width="match_parent"
      android:layout_height="wrap_content"
      android:id="@+id/textView"/>
   <TextView
      android:layout_centerInParent="true"
      android:text="Messi is the Best Player in the World"
      android:layout_below="@id/textView"
      android:visibility="invisible"
      android:textSize="16sp"
      android:textStyle="bold"
      android:layout_width="match_parent"
      android:layout_height="wrap_content"
      android:id="@+id/textView1"/>
</RelativeLayout>

Step 3 − Add the following code to src/MainActivity.java

import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.transition.Slide;
import android.transition.TransitionManager;
import android.view.Gravity;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.RelativeLayout;
import android.widget.TextView;
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
   Button btnSlideLeft, btnSlideRight;
   TextView textView, textView1;
   RelativeLayout relativeLayout;
   @Override
   protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
      super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
      setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
      textView = findViewById(R.id.textView);
      textView1 = findViewById(R.id.textView1);
      btnSlideLeft = findViewById(R.id.btnSlideLeft);
      btnSlideRight = findViewById(R.id.btnSlideRight);
      relativeLayout = findViewById(R.id.relativeLayout);
      btnSlideLeft.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
         @Override
         public void onClick(View v) {
            Slide slide = new Slide();
            slide.setSlideEdge(Gravity.START);
            TransitionManager.beginDelayedTransition(relativeLayout, slide);
            textView.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
         }
      });
      btnSlideRight.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
         @Override
         public void onClick(View v) {
            Slide slide = new Slide();
            slide.setSlideEdge(Gravity.END);
            TransitionManager.beginDelayedTransition(relativeLayout, slide);
            textView1.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
         }
      });
   }
}

Step 4 − Add the following code to androidManifest.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" package="app.com.sample">
   <application
      android:allowBackup="true"
      android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
      android:label="@string/app_name"
      android:roundIcon="@mipmap/ic_launcher_round"
      android:supportsRtl="true"
      android:theme="@style/AppTheme">
      <activity android:name=".MainActivity">
         <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
            <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
         </intent-filter>
      </activity>
   </application>
</manifest>

Let's try to run your application. I assume you have connected your actual Android Mobile device with your computer. To run the app from android studio, open one of your project's activity files and click Run  icon from the toolbar. Select your mobile device as an option and then check your mobile device which will display your default screen −
