overridePendingTransition not working

If you are using android version >= 21 then make the android:windowActivityTransitions attribute to true in the style.xml file in the values-v21 folder as follows.

   <style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">

       <item name="android:windowActivityTransitions">true</item>

   </style>

If you activate usb debugging mode, it can disable the transitions effects. Enter Developer options (where you activated debugging mode), find the user's interface section, check if the animation's transition scale have the animations disabled. If so, set it to .5x. Done!

Try to call the pendingTransition after calling finish(), like this:

Intent newsIntent = new Intent(ZPFActivity.this, More2013Activity.class);
startActivity(newsIntent);
finish();
overridePendingTransition(R.anim.slide_no_move, R.anim.fade);
