You can use a fragment for the central layout and then use Fragment animations like this

FragmentTransaction ft = getFragmentManager().beginTransaction();
ft.setCustomAnimations(R.anim.slide_in_left, R.anim.slide_out_right);
DetailsFragment newFragment = DetailsFragment.newInstance();
ft.replace(R.id.details_fragment_container, newFragment, "detailFragment");
ft.commit();

Where the xml file for animation could look like.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<set>
  <objectAnimator xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:propertyName="x" 
android:valueType="floatType"
android:valueFrom="-1280"
android:valueTo="0" 
android:duration="500"/>
</set>

There are many other animations you can apply, you can find more resources here
