You can overwrite your default activity animation and it perform better 
than overridePendingTransition. I use this solution that work for every 
android version. Just copy paste 4 files and add a 4 lines style as below:

Create a "CustomActivityAnimation" and add this to your base Theme 
by "windowAnimationStyle".

<!-- Base application theme. -->
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
    <!-- Customize your theme here. -->
    <item name="colorPrimary">@color/colorPrimary</item>
    <item name="colorPrimaryDark">@color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
    <item name="colorAccent">@color/colorPrimary</item>
    <item name="android:windowAnimationStyle">@style/CustomActivityAnimation</item>

</style>

<style name="CustomActivityAnimation" parent="@android:style/Animation.Activity">
    <item name="android:activityOpenEnterAnimation">@anim/slide_in_right</item>
    <item name="android:activityOpenExitAnimation">@anim/slide_out_left</item>
    <item name="android:activityCloseEnterAnimation">@anim/slide_in_left</item>
    <item name="android:activityCloseExitAnimation">@anim/slide_out_right</item>
</style>

Then Create anim folder under res folder and then create this four animation 
files into anim folder:

slide_in_right.xml
  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
  <set xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
      <translate android:fromXDelta="100%p" android:toXDelta="0"
          android:duration="@android:integer/config_mediumAnimTime"/>
  </set>
  
slide_out_left.xml
  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
  <set xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
      <translate android:fromXDelta="0" android:toXDelta="-100%p"
          android:duration="@android:integer/config_mediumAnimTime"/>
  </set>

slide_in_left.xml
  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
  <set xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
      <translate android:fromXDelta="-100%p" android:toXDelta="0"
          android:duration="@android:integer/config_mediumAnimTime"/>
  </set>

slide_out_right.xml
  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
  <set xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
      <translate android:fromXDelta="0" android:toXDelta="100%p"
          android:duration="@android:integer/config_mediumAnimTime"/>
  </set>
