Question

I want to implement an animation for a fragment on my activity.
But regular startAnimation() method isn’t applicable to fragment.

How can I set an animation to my fragment?
The following is my snippet:

Fragment listview = (Fragment)getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.my_tab_fragment);
final Animation a = AnimationUtils.loadAnimation(this, R.anim.translate);

Answer 1

To animate the adding/removing of a fragment you should use :

 getFragmentManager().beginTransaction()
                            .setCustomAnimation();

You should have a look at FragmentTransaction documentation .

Just be carefull and call the setCustomAnimation() method, before add(fragment) or replace(fragment) on your FragmentTransaction.
