TaskStackBuilder transition animation
I'm using Android L transitions passing an ActivityOptions
bundle in intent.
How can I reproduce the animation on the same intent with TaskStackBuilder
?
This is my current working method with a single Intent
:
startActivity(myIntent, ActivityOptions.makeSceneTransitionAnimation(this).toBundle());
This is my try with TaskStackBuilder
:
TaskStackBuilder builder = TaskStackBuilder.create(this);
builder.addNextIntentWithParentStack(myIntent);
builder.startActivities(ActivityOptions.makeSceneTransitionAnimation(this).toBundle());
But the animation creates a strange effect, not the same one of the "single-intent" version.
I also tried with:
builder.addNextIntent(myIntent);
instead of:
builder.addNextIntentWithParentStack(myIntent);
After digging inside TaskStackBuilder
's implementation, the problem is that it forces adding Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TASK
to the 1st intent in the stack, which makes that strange effect, so use the following to start the stack:
Intent[] intents = TaskStackBuilder.create(this)
.addNextIntentWithParentStack(myIntent)
.getIntents();
if (intents.length > 0) {
intents[0].setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);// Or any other flags you want, but not the `.._CLEAR_..` one
}
// `this` inside current activity, or you can use App's context
this.startActivities(intents, ActivityOptions.makeSceneTransitionAnimation(this).toBundle());
The idea here is to still use the TaskStackBuilder
for creating your intents' stack, then remove the weird Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TASK
that the TaskStackBuilder
adds to the 1st intent, then start the activities manually using any Context you want.
