Blinking screen on image transition between activities

Question

I implemented an image transition between two activities using the new shared elements from lollipop. It\'s working but I get a weird white blinking on the entire screen du

Answer 1

The "white blinking" you are seeing is the result of the two activities alpha-animating in and out during the transition: when activity A starts activity B, activity A fades out and activity B fades in.

If you want to prevent the status bar and/or navigation bar from fading during the transition (and thus reducing the "blinking" effect a bit), you can look at this post.
