Disable activity slide-in animation when launching new activity?

android

I have an activity which launches another activity, via a button click. By default, on newer OS versions of android, the OS will animate the new activity sliding in from right to left.

Is there a way to disable this animation? I just want the new activity to appear without any sort of animation.

Solution 1:

The FLAG_ACTIVITY_NO_ANIMATION flag works fine for disabling the animation when starting activities.

To disable the similar animation that is triggered when calling finish() on an Activity, i.e the animation slides from right to left instead, you can call overridePendingTransition(0, 0) after calling finish() and the next animation will be excluded.

This also works on the in-animation if you call overridePendingTransition(0, 0) after calling startActivity(...).

Solution 2:

IMHO this answer here solve issue in the most elegant way..

Developer should create a style,

<style name="noAnimTheme" parent="android:Theme">
  <item name="android:windowAnimationStyle">@null</item>
</style>

then in manifest set it as theme for activity or whole application.

<activity android:name=".ui.ArticlesActivity" android:theme="@style/noAnimTheme">
</activity>

Voila! Nice and easy..

Solution 3:

Apply

startActivity(new Intent(FirstActivity.this,SecondActivity.class));

then

overridePendingTransition(0, 0);

This will stop the animation.

Solution 4:

In my opinion the best answer is to use "overridePendingTransition(0, 0);"

to avoid seeing animation when you want to Intent to an Activity use:

this.startActivity(new Intent(v.getContext(), newactivity.class));
this.overridePendingTransition(0, 0);

and to not see the animation when you press back button Override onPause method in your newactivity

@Override
protected void onPause() {
    super.onPause();
    overridePendingTransition(0, 0);
}

Solution 5:

Just specify Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NO_ANIMATION flag when starting
