You need to use the new android.animation framework (object animators) withFragmentTransaction.setCustomAnimations as well as withFragmentTransaction.setTransition.

Here's an example on using setCustomAnimations from ApiDemos' FragmentHideShow.java:

ft.setCustomAnimations(android.R.animator.fade_in, android.R.animator.fade_out);

and here's the relevant animator XML from res/animator/fade_in.xml:

<objectAnimator xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
   
android:interpolator="@interpolator/accelerate_quad"
   
android:valueFrom="0"
   
android:valueTo="1"
   
android:propertyName="alpha"
   
android:duration="@android:integer/config_mediumAnimTime" />

Note that you can combine multiple animators using <set>, just as you could with the older animation framework.


EDIT: Since folks are asking about slide-in/slide-out, I'll comment on that here.

Slide-in and slide-out

You can of course animate the translationXtranslationYx, and y properties, but generally slides involve animating content to and from off-screen. As far as I know there aren't any translation properties that use relative values. However, this doesn't prevent you from writing them yourself. Remember that property animations simply require getter and setter methods on the objects you're animating (in this case views), so you can just create your own getXFraction and setXFractionmethods on your view subclass, like so:

public class MyFrameLayout extends FrameLayout {
   
...
   
public float getXFraction() {
       
return getX() / getWidth(); // TODO: guard divide-by-zero
   
}

   
public void setXFraction(float xFraction) {
       
// TODO: cache width
       
final int width = getWidth();
        setX
((width > 0) ? (xFraction * width) : -9999);
   
}
   
...
}

Now you can animate the 'xFraction' property, like so:

res/animator/slide_in.xml:

<objectAnimator xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
   
android:interpolator="@android:anim/linear_interpolator"
   
android:valueFrom="-1.0"
   
android:valueTo="0"
   
android:propertyName="xFraction"
   
android:duration="@android:integer/config_mediumAnimTime" />

Note that if the object you're animating in isn't the same width as its parent, things won't look quite right, so you may need to tweak your property implementation to suit your use case.
