Using default animation in a theme
<p>How do I access some of the built in animations like <code>FadeIn</code> or <code>FadeOut</code> for activities when writing a theme in <code>Styles.xml</code>:</p>

<pre><code>&lt;style name="Theme.Splash" parent="android:Theme"&gt;
  &lt;item name="android:windowBackground"&gt;@drawable/Splash_mid&lt;/item&gt;
  &lt;item name="android:windowNoTitle"&gt;true&lt;/item&gt;
  &lt;item name="android:windowEnterAnimation"&gt; ??? &lt;/item&gt;
  &lt;item name="android:windowExitAnimaiton"&gt; ??? &lt;/item&gt;
&lt;/style&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>Basically, I want my <strong>splash screen</strong> to fade out and my <strong>main menu</strong> to fade in.</p>

<p>EDIT:</p>

<pre><code>[Activity(Theme = "@style/Theme.Splash", MainLauncher = true, NoHistory = true)]
public class SplashActivity : Activity
{
    protected override void OnCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
    {
        base.OnCreate(savedInstanceState);
        Thread.Sleep(1000);

        Intent intent = new Intent(this, typeof(MenuActivity));
        StartActivity(intent);
        OverridePendingTransition(Android.Resource.Animation.SlideInLeft,
                Android.Resource.Animation.SlideOutRight);
    }
}
</code></pre>

<p>MenuActivity just pops up instantly instead of animating</p>

<p>EDIT 2:</p>

<pre><code>&lt;manifest
  xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" 
  package="map_split.map_split"
  android:versionCode="1" 
  android:versionName="1.0" 
  android:installLocation="auto"
  android:theme="@style/Theme.Splash" &gt; (...user permissions...) &lt;/manifest&gt;
</code></pre>
