Updated Code
Here's the code to do a nice smooth fade between two Activities.. 
 Create a file called fadein.xml in res/anim

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<alpha xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
   android:interpolator="@android:anim/accelerate_interpolator"
   android:fromAlpha="0.0" android:toAlpha="1.0" android:duration="2000" />


Create a file called fadeout.xml in res/anim

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<alpha xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
   android:interpolator="@android:anim/accelerate_interpolator"
   android:fromAlpha="1.0" android:toAlpha="0.0" android:duration="2000" />


If you want to fade from Activity A to Activity B, put the following in the onCreate method for Activity B. Before setContentView works for me.



overridePendingTransition(R.anim.fadein, R.anim.fadeout);
If the fades are too slow for you, change android:duration in the xml files above to something smaller.
